Job Title: Senior ML Infrastructure & MLOps Engineer (Core Platform)
Role Overview
We are seeking an ownership-driven Senior ML Infrastructure Engineer to join our core Platform team. In this role, you will bridge the gap between production engineering and bleeding-edge AI research by building the foundational shared systems that power our machine learning lifecycle. Your primary focus will be designing, scaling, and automating robust ML infrastructure-ranging from standardized training frameworks and feature-generation platforms to high-performance model-serving clusters. The ideal candidate is a pragmatic, fast-moving systems engineer who values reliability, cost-optimization, and seamless developer velocity.
Key Responsibilities
ML Infrastructure & Container Orchestration
Distributed Clusters: Architect and maintain high-performance training and serving infrastructure utilizing Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE).
Model Optimization: Design and implement high-efficiency optimization pipelines, including advanced knowledge distillation and foundational training tooling.
Platform Scaling: Build, monitor, and optimize shared ML systems to ensure maximum infrastructure uptime, pipeline reliability, and cloud cost-efficiency.
Data Engineering & Pipeline Automation
Workflow Automation: Build robust, automated pipelines for standardized model training, validation, and continuous deployment (CI/CD for ML).
Feature Platforms: Develop scalable data sampling and feature-generation platforms to accelerate research experimentation cycles.
Onboarding & Usability: Drive high platform adoption by building intuitive, standardized deployment tools that decrease onboarding speed for research and engineering teams.
Collaboration & Governance
Cross-Functional Bridge: Collaborate closely with ML researchers and core software engineers to translate theoretical models into highly scalable production systems.
Methodical Execution: Apply a disciplined, data-backed approach to identify infrastructure bottlenecks, reduce time-to-market, and stabilize complex deployments.
Qualifications & Requirements
Experience:
o5 to 10+ years of hands-on experience designing and operating large-scale distributed ML platforms.
oProven track record of supporting production-grade ML workflows in cloud environments.
Technical Mastery:
oDeep expertise in container orchestration, specifically GKE (Google Kubernetes Engine) or equivalent enterprise Kubernetes environments.
oHands-on experience building scalable ML pipelines (e.g., Kubeflow, Airflow, TFX).
oStrong proficiency in distributed training strategies, feature store management, and model serving infrastructure.
Soft Skills & Attributes:
oPragmatic Mindset: Strong ownership-driven work style focused on consistency, system reliability, and cost-awareness.
oEffective Communicator: Ability to collaborate seamlessly with highly technical researchers and platform engineers alike.
Preferred Qualifications
Prior experience working within dedicated, tier-1 enterprise ML/AI platform teams.
Deep knowledge of distributed systems backend optimization and infrastructure-as-code (IaC).
