• Vertex AI

• Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform Pipelines

• BigQuery

• Cloud Storage, Cloud Composer

• Dataflow

• Kubernetes (GKE), Terraform, CI/CD

• Python

• MLOps

• IAM

• Model Registry

• Monitoring & Observability

Requirements:

• Proven experience designing and delivering production-grade ML and MLOps platforms in enterprise environments

• Deep hands-on expertise with Google Cloud Platform (GCP)

• Strong production experience with Vertex AI and Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform Pipelines

• Proven ability to design end-to-end ML lifecycle architectures and pipeline orchestration frameworks

• Strong understanding of modular, reusable and scalable ML pipeline design patterns

• Extensive knowledge of BigQuery and its role within enterprise-scale Machine Learning ecosystems

• Practical experience with ML lifecycle management, model monitoring, retraining strategies, rollback mechanisms and reproducibility standards

• Hands-on experience designing CI/CD and deployment patterns for Machine Learning solutions

• Experience building solutions that operate across development, testing and production environments

• Strong understanding of cloud security, IAM, governance and compliance principles

• Solid software engineering background with architectural mindset

• Ability to evaluate architecture trade-offs related to scalability, security, maintainability, operability and cost optimization

• Experience working directly with enterprise customers and senior technical stakeholders

• Excellent communication skills and the ability to facilitate architecture workshops and technical discussions

• Ability to operate comfortably between strategic architecture planning and implementation-level engineering details

• Strong Polish communication skills (minimum B2), both written and verbal

• Fluent English (C1)

Nice to have:

• Google Cloud Professional Cloud Architect certification

• Google Cloud Professional Machine Learning Engineer certification

• Experience with AI and Generative AI platforms deployed in enterprise environments

• Knowledge of Responsible AI, model governance and enterprise AI adoption frameworks

• Experienced in using AI tools in day-to-day workflow

Main responsibilities:

• Own the target architecture of enterprise ML and MLOps platforms on Google Cloud

• Lead architecture workshops, discovery sessions and technical discussions with enterprise customers

• Translate business, ML, data, security and operational requirements into scalable architecture designs

• Design end-to-end Machine Learning lifecycle patterns covering data preparation, feature engineering, experimentation, model training, evaluation, model registration and promotion

• Define architecture standards and best practices for Vertex AI and Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform Pipelines

• Design reusable and modular pipeline architectures supporting multiple teams and ML workloads

• Define governance frameworks including approval processes, lifecycle policies, lineage tracking and reproducibility standards

• Design feature management solutions leveraging BigQuery and Google Cloud-native services

• Establish integration patterns between ML platforms, enterprise data ecosystems, CI/CD frameworks, IAM and governance solutions

• Define monitoring strategies covering model performance, drift detection, observability and ground-truth validation

• Provide architectural guidance to MLOps, Cloud and Data Engineering teams throughout implementation

• Drive technical decision-making and ensure alignment with enterprise architecture standards

• Maintain architecture documentation, technology roadmaps and implementation guidelines

• Promote engineering excellence and adoption of cloud-native Machine Learning best practices across the organization
