Mlops engineer

As explained in The Art of AI Product Development

An MLOps engineer is a practitioner who operates and automates the infrastructure and workflows supporting machine-learning systems across their lifecycle.

An MLOps engineer manages the end-to-end machine-learning lifecycle, automating workflows so AI systems can be developed and operated at scale. The role centers on infrastructure and repeatable processes rather than solely building models. section 12.1.2

The role connects several delivery responsibilities:

  • Automate workflows for training, evaluation, integration, and deployment. section 12.1.2
  • Set up and manage infrastructure for experiments, models, and data. section 12.1.2
  • Work alongside machine-learning engineers, AI engineers, data engineers, and prompt engineers, whose responsibilities emphasize models, product integration, data systems, and prompts respectively. section 12.1.2

How The Art of AI Product Development covers it

How deep it goes
Defines responsibilities and role boundaries, but stops short of procedural implementation or infrastructure configuration details.
Examples
Uses infrastructure for experiments, models, and data alongside automated training, evaluation, and integration workflows.
What you can do after
Operate/configure infrastructure and automated workflows across the machine-learning lifecycle.
How it connects
Connects machine-learning engineering with AI engineering, data engineering, prompt engineering, training, evaluation, integration, and deployment.
