What to look for in a MLOps freelancer
A strong MLOps engineer should bridge data science and solid software engineering. Look for:
- Deployment experience, not only model training in a notebook.
- Tooling fluency: MLflow, Kubeflow, SageMaker, or the stack you already run.
- Container and orchestration skills: Docker and Kubernetes for reproducible serving.
- A monitoring mindset: catching drift and regressions before users do.
- Pipeline automation habits, replacing manual retraining with repeatable steps.
Ask how the candidate would detect and respond to a model whose accuracy quietly degrades in production.
