We Are:

At Synopsys, we drive innovations that shape the way we live and connect. Our technology is central to the Era of Pervasive Intelligence, powering everything from self-driving cars to advanced learning machines. Join us to transform the future through continuous technological innovation.

You Are:

You are a seasoned DevOps/MLOps professional with deep expertise in building scalable, reliable platforms for AI development and deployment. You thrive in collaborative environments, lead by example, and have a passion for operational excellence and continuous learning. Your ability to design and operate CI/CD pipelines, containerized platforms, and ML workflows sets you apart. You’re a skilled communicator, mentor, and problem-solver, ready to make a significant impact at Synopsys.

What You’ll Be Doing:

• Design, develop, and own CI/CD pipelines and release processes for AI, GenAI, and Agentic systems—including services, tools, libraries, and infrastructure.
• Lead the installation, configuration, deployment, and lifecycle management of AI and Agentic tools across development, staging, and production environments.
• Build and operate cloud-native platforms using Docker and Kubernetes, managing deployments, scaling, upgrades, and environment standardization.
• Develop robust MLOps workflows: automated ML training pipelines, model packaging, reproducibility, artifact tracking, and promotion across environments.
• Create and maintain Generative AI and Agentic AI evaluation infrastructure (benchmarking, regression testing, quality gates, and reporting).
• Build infrastructure and pipelines for large-scale data collection, storage, and processing to support training, fine-tuning, and evaluation.
• Partner closely with AI engineers, data scientists, software engineers, and program/product managers to define requirements, write technical specifications, and ensure successful delivery.
• Implement observability practices (monitoring, logging, tracing, alerting) for ML systems and platform services; drive reliability improvements through SLOs and incident learnings.
• Establish infrastructure-as-code and configuration management best practices to ensure consistent, auditable, and repeatable environments.
• Provide technical leadership and mentorship to engineers, driving best practices in DevOps/MLOps, security, and operational readiness.

The Impact You Will Have:

• Enable rapid experimentation and deployment of AI and Agentic solutions by evolving DevOps capabilities into world-class MLOps practices.
• Drive operational excellence, reliability, and security across all AI platform services and infrastructure.
• Empower teams to deliver high-quality, scalable AI products through robust automation, reproducibility, and best practices.
• Accelerate the innovation cycle for AI/ML initiatives, supporting faster time-to-market and continuous improvement.
• Establish standards for infrastructure, data pipelines, and evaluation frameworks that ensure consistency and transparency.
• Lead by example, mentoring engineers and fostering a culture of learning, collaboration, and technical excellence.
• Champion observability and incident management practices that drive reliability and customer satisfaction.
• Shape the future of AI at Synopsys by contributing to the development of cutting-edge tools, platforms, and processes.

What You’ll Need:

• Ph.D. or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Data Science, Electrical Engineering, or related field (or equivalent practical experience).
• Minimum of 8 years of experience in DevOps/SRE/Platform Engineering, with ownership of production CI/CD and deployment systems.
• Strong experience building CI/CD pipelines and release automation (e.g., Jenkins, GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Argo CD, Tekton).
• Hands-on expertise with containerization and orchestration: Docker and Kubernetes (deployments, configuration, security, scaling).
• Experience building ML training and/or MLOps pipelines (workflow orchestration, artifact/version management, reproducibility).
• Strong proficiency in scripting and automation (e.g., Python, Bash) and solid software engineering fundamentals.
• Experience designing scalable data infrastructure for large volumes (e.g., Snowflake, data lakes, and large databases/search systems such as Elasticsearch).
• Knowledge of cloud and/or on-prem infrastructure operations, networking fundamentals, secrets management, and access control.
• Familiarity with version control systems (e.g., Git, P4) and software development methodologies (e.g., Agile, Kanban, Scrum).
• Experience with Generative AI / Agentic systems operationalization (deployment patterns, evaluation, monitoring) is a strong plus.

Who You Are:

• Excellent problem-solving and analytical skills.
• Strong communication and interpersonal skills.
• Ability to work independently and as part of a team.
• Proven leadership and mentorship abilities.
• Adaptable, proactive, and eager to learn new technologies.
• Collaborative, inclusive, and committed to fostering a diverse team environment.

The Team You’ll Be A Part Of:

Join a dynamic and collaborative group of professionals dedicated to advancing AI, GenAI, and Agentic technologies. Our team is focused on building scalable, reliable platforms that support end-to-end ML training and evaluation at scale. You’ll work alongside AI engineers, data scientists, software engineers, and program/product managers, partnering to deliver impactful solutions that drive innovation across Synopsys’ AI portfolio. We value creative problem-solving, continuous improvement, and a supportive, inclusive team culture.

Rewards and Benefits:
