About the Role
Irth is building a unified and governed Databricks Lakehouse to power cross-product insights and customer-facing data products.
We are looking for a hands-on ML/GenAI Engineer who can contribute across the data and ML lifecycle—from establishing reliable, governed data foundations to rapidly prototyping and productionizing machine learning and GenAI solutions.
You will work closely with data, platform, product, and domain teams to turn data into measurable customer value across Irth’s key industries:
•
Damage Prevention
•
Asset Integrity
•
Land Management
•
Stakeholder Engagement
The ideal candidate is comfortable working across data engineering, machine learning, GenAI, MLOps, governance, and cloud platforms, with a strong focus on production reliability and business outcomes.

Contribute to medallion architecture pipelines (Bronze → Silver → Gold) using Databricks.
•
Implement data quality checks, validation gates, and data contracts at ingestion.
•
Support column-level lineage and governance initiatives, targeting at least 95% lineage coverage.
•
Help implement policy-as-code for regional data residency and sensitive-data handling.
•
Ensure appropriate PII masking, obfuscation, and access controls across Silver and Gold data layers.
•
Collaborate with data engineering and governance teams to improve data reliability, discoverability, and documentation.
2. Develop and Productionize ML & GenAI Solutions
•
Explore, prototype, evaluate, and productionize machine learning and GenAI solutions.
•
Work on use cases including:
•
Forecasting

Design and implement batch and streaming inference architectures where appropriate.
•
Partner with Product and business stakeholders to define success metrics, KPIs, and A/B testing strategies.
•
Move successful experiments from prototype to production with clearly defined SLAs, monitoring, documentation, and operational runbooks.
3. Engineer for Reliability, Scalability & Cost
•
Build production workflows, jobs, and notebooks as infrastructure/assets-as-code using Databricks Asset Bundles (DABs).
•
Implement CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions.
•
Design reliable, observable, and scalable data and ML workloads.
•
Work toward defined operational SLOs, including:
•
Pipeline success rate: ≥99.5%
•
P1 Mean Time to Detect (MTTD): ≤5 minutes
•
Mean Time to Repair (MTTR): ≤60 minutes
•
Implement proactive monitoring and alerting.
•
Automate incident creation and tracking through Jira where appropriate.
•
Apply FinOps principles, including resource tagging, workload policies, optimization, and cost monitoring.
•
Identify opportunities to improve compute performance while maintaining cost efficiency.

•
Implement secure data and ML architectures using RBAC and ABAC within Unity Catalog.
•
Follow secure networking practices, including private networking where required.
•
Manage credentials and secrets using appropriate cloud key-management and secret-management services, such as Azure Key Vault (AKV) or KMS.
•
Design solutions with security, privacy, and auditability built into the development lifecycle.
•
Support compliance requirements across frameworks and regulations such as:
•
SOC 2
•
ISO 27001
•
GDPR
