Allstate is seeking a Machine Learning Platform Engineer to design, build, and scale the foundational platforms for enterprise-wide ML development and deployment. This role involves working with cloud-native infrastructure, MLOps tooling, and model lifecycle automation to accelerate AI/ML adoption and enable data scientists to build production-ready models.

What you'd actually do

  1. Design, build, and operate scalable ML platform components including training infrastructure, feature stores, model registries, inference services, and end‑to‑end workflow orchestration.
  2. Develop cloud‑native, distributed systems and CI/CD pipelines that ensure reliable, reproducible, and continuously delivered ML model deployments.
  3. Implement and mature MLOps capabilities such as experiment tracking, data and model versioning, model evaluation, monitoring, and automated retraining.
  4. Establish best practices for model lifecycle management, testing, and deployment across development, staging, and production environments.
  5. Integrate observability into ML systems, enabling deep visibility into performance, drift, data quality, and inference reliability.
