Company Description
Cint is a pioneer in research technology (ResTech). Our customers use the Cint platform to post questions and get answers from real people to build business strategies, confidently publish research, accurately measure the impact of digital advertising, and more. The Cint platform is built on a programmatic marketplace, which is the world’s largest, with nearly 300 million respondents in over 150 countries who consent to sharing their opinions, motivations, and behaviours.
Job Description
The Role
We’re hiring a Staff MLOps Engineer to own the AI/ML platform at Cint. The immediate focus is supporting the Synthetic Data Platform — models for survey augmentation and respondent profiling — but the role’s longer-term remit is broader: Trust Score (our respondent quality and fraud detection model) and other AI/ML initiatives need the same platform capabilities. You’ll start by reviewing the current setup and deciding whether to extend it or rebuild parts of it, then build out the shared AI/ML platform from there.
The Team
You’ll report into our Infrastructure and Data Engineering organisation, working in close partnership with the AI/ML team in Prague. This is deliberately a platform-with-feature-focus role: your day-to-day delivery serves the Synthetic Data team’s needs, but your architectural remit covers all of Cint’s AI/ML workloads.
Qualifications
What You’ll Do
Assess and decide on the current pipeline: Audit the existing AI/ML training and serving setup. Decide what’s worth building on and what needs to be rebuilt. Make the call and own the rationale.
Build the shared AI/ML platform: Training infrastructure, experiment tracking, model registry, serving, monitoring. Built once, used by Synthetic, Trust Score, and whatever comes next.
Oversee the full ML lifecycle: From data ingestion and feature processing to annotation workflows, ensuring the platform facilitates frictionless, rapid model iteration for Data Scientists.
Own training infrastructure on Databricks and Unity Catalog: Make training fast, reproducible, and traceable. Lineage matters; reproducibility matters more.
Model serving: Build the serving layer — low-latency APIs, batch scoring jobs, appropriate caching. Integrate with our Java/Spring services.
Monitoring and drift: Build the observability our models need — data drift, model drift, accuracy regression, business metrics. Grafana dashboards, Prometheus metrics, clear alerts.
Cost and performance: ML compute costs add up. Set the patterns for cost-effective training and serving, representing ML infrastructure spend and ROI credibly to finance stakeholders.
Mentor and multiply: Act as a force multiplier by coaching AI/ML and Infrastructure engineers on engineering best practices. You don’t just “do” the work; you set the bar for what “good” looks like.
Drive AI tooling adoption: Model how AI-native development works for platform teams. Claude Code, agentic workflows, AI-assisted incident response.
Databricks / Spark Native: Comfortable in Databricks. Unity Catalog experience is a strong plus.
Kubernetes & Cloud: You’ve deployed ML workloads on Kubernetes. AWS (EKS) is our environment; familiarity is a plus.
- Be a Polyglot: Python, Scala or Java (for Spark), Kubernetes manifests, Terraform. AWS or GCP. You move between layers without friction.
Who You Are
Deep ML Platform Expertise: You’ve led ML platform work at a serious scale. You have strong opinions on feature stores, model registries, serving patterns, and what “ML observability” actually means.
Mature Engineering: You’re someone with both a wide and deep background of engineering excellence in a number of disciplines. This is a very senior position in our engineering organisation; setting examples in approach and behaviour is a key trait.
Systems Architect: You think about the platform as a product with real users (your ML team). You design APIs, write docs, and measure adoption.
Technical leader: You lead through standards, RFCs, and credibility — not meetings. You’ve mentored MLOps engineers into senior ICs.
Pragmatic about buy-vs-build: You know when to adopt a managed service and when to build. You can defend either call to leadership.
Commercially literate: You can justify platform investment to VP / C-suite and translate business priorities into a roadmap.
Additional Information
Working at Cint
Prague-First, Europe-Friendly: Our preferred base is Prague, alongside our existing AI/ML team. Remote work from Germany, Spain or the UK is also possible — these are the markets where we have entities.
AI-Native Engineering: We’re rolling out Claude Code and modern agentic tooling across engineering. You’ll use it daily — not as a novelty, but as a force multiplier for the complex problems that matter.
High Autonomy: We trust our engineers to make sound decisions and own their work end-to-end.
- Global Impact: Your work powers a marketplace used by millions of people worldwide.
