- Strong engineering background in distributed systems, ML infrastructure, or large-scale compute/data platforms with 6 years of relevant work experience.
- Proficiency in Python and at least one systems language such as C++, Go, or Rust.
- Experience with orchestration systems, scheduling, and scalable storage or data pipelines.
- Ability to work across teams, drive technical clarity, and deliver robust solutions in complex environments.
- Comfortable bridging research workflows and production-grade systems.
Responsibilities
- Design, build, and operate scalable infrastructure for training Cosmos and supporting large-scale data pipelines.
- Develop high-throughput systems for data processing, retrieval, and workflow orchestration.
- Collaborate across research, optimization, and platform teams to accelerate experiments and deployments.
- Improve system reliability, performance, and observability across distributed compute environments.
- Contribute to long-term infrastructure strategy for training, data management, and large-scale compute efficiency.
