Work You'll Do

- Establish and maintain end-to-end MLOps on Azure (e.g., Azure ML, pipelines, model registry, CI/CD, monitoring, and drift detection), ensuring models are reproducible, secure, observable, and reliably maintained in production rather than one-off prototypes.
- Develop SQL data models and analytics solutions that integrate and structure data from child welfare and Medicaid program systems, translating fragmented agency data into trustworthy inputs for AI/ML systems and operational reporting that improve efficiency and surface actionable insight.
- Partner with cross-functional teams, product owners, agency stakeholders, engineers, and policy/program staff - to translate public sector business problems into technical solutions, and to clearly communicate model behavior, limitations, and outcomes to both technical and non-technical audiences.
