- Knowledge of machine learning model architecture and inference
- Experience in debugging, profiling, and implementing software engineering best practices in large-scale systems
Responsibilities
- Build and scale ML infrastructure across data processing, distributed training, and model serving.
- Own the data pipelines that feed model training, including ingestion of structured and unstructured inputs.
- Partner with Applied Scientists to shorten the time from experiment to production.
- Evolve model serving and feature delivery to support continuous experimentation.
- Establish automated, repeatable processes for large-scale data analysis, model training, validation, and deployment.
