ML/LLM CI/CD Pipeline Engineering

Shipping a model or prompt change isn't the same as shipping a normal code change, the artifact is a weights file or a prompt template, the test suite is an eval set, and a regression can look like a plausible answer that's just quietly wrong. This service builds CI/CD pipelines purpose-built for that: model and prompt versions as first-class build artifacts, automated evals gating every promotion, and staged rollouts with canary or shadow traffic so a bad release affects a slice of users before it affects all of them. It's for teams shipping ML or LLM features on a real cadence who are currently promoting changes by hand and finding out about regressions from users. The outcome is a release process where shipping a model update is routine and boring, with rollback one click away instead of a fire drill.

This is a capability we deliver for you as a service, not a role we’re hiring for.

How We’d Approach This

A clear, staged plan, not a black box

These are the service-specific steps inside our six-step process.

1
Diagnose the current release process for models and prompts, how changes are versioned, tested, and pushed today.
2
Pilot an automated pipeline on one model or prompt-driven feature, wiring in eval gates and canary rollout first.
3
Review pipeline gates, rollback triggers, and promotion criteria with engineering to agree on what blocks a release.
4
Roll out the pipeline across remaining models and services, with staged rollout and rollback as the default deploy path.
