What's the difference between an AI Operations Specialist and a DevOps Engineer?

While both roles focus on operational excellence, AI Operations Specialists bring ML-specific expertise:

  • Model Lifecycle: They manage the full ML model lifecycle — training, validation, deployment, monitoring, and retraining — not just application deployment
  • Data Pipelines: They understand feature engineering, data drift, and the data dependencies unique to ML systems
  • Model Monitoring: Beyond uptime and latency, they monitor prediction accuracy, model drift, fairness metrics, and data quality
  • GPU/Compute Management: They optimize specialized ML infrastructure including GPU clusters, training jobs, and inference serving
  • AI Governance: They implement model inventory, risk classification, and audit trails required for responsible AI deployment

What cloud platforms and MLOps tools do your specialists work with?

Our network includes AI Operations Specialists experienced with all major platforms:

  • AWS: SageMaker, Bedrock, Lambda, ECS, Step Functions
  • Azure: Azure ML, Azure OpenAI Service, Azure Kubernetes Service
  • GCP: Vertex AI, Cloud Run, GKE, BigQuery ML
  • MLOps Tools: MLflow, Kubeflow, Weights & Biases, DVC, Seldon
  • Infrastructure: Kubernetes, Docker, Terraform, Helm, ArgoCD
  • Monitoring: Prometheus, Grafana, DataDog, Evidently AI, WhyLabs

What does it cost to hire an AI Operations Specialist?

Rates vary based on experience level, specialization, and location. Typical ranges:

  • Junior AI Ops Specialist: $55-85/hour

Can AI Operations Specialists help us scale from an AI pilot to production?

Absolutely. This is one of the most common challenges our specialists solve. The journey from pilot to production typically involves:

  1. Infrastructure Assessment: Evaluating your current setup and designing a scalable architecture
  2. Pipeline Automation: Building CI/CD pipelines for model training, testing, and deployment
  3. Monitoring Setup: Implementing model performance monitoring, drift detection, and automated alerting
  4. Governance Framework: Establishing model registry, versioning, access controls, and audit trails
  5. Cost Management: Optimizing compute resources, implementing auto-scaling, and setting up cost tracking

Our specialists have helped dozens of organizations successfully transition AI projects from proof-of-concept to reliable production systems.

What if the AI Operations Specialist isn't the right fit?

We stand behind our matching quality with a replacement guarantee. If an AI Operations Specialist doesn't meet your expectations within the first two weeks, we'll provide a replacement at no additional cost.
