Requirements:

  • Strong software engineering background with experience in building distributed systems for machine learning and AI workloads.
  • Proficiency in Python and familiarity with ML frameworks such as TensorFlow and PyTorch.
  • Experience with modern MLOps practices including CI/CD, Docker, Kubernetes, and infrastructure-as-code tools.
  • Familiarity with cloud infrastructure, ideally AWS or GCP, and experience with managed ML services.
  • Experience with generative AI technologies including transformers and vector databases.
  • Understanding of ML monitoring and ability to manage complex data queries.

Qualifications:

  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field; advanced degree is a plus.
  • 3+ years of experience in ML platform engineering or closely related roles.
  • Proven track record of building and operating ML infrastructure at scale.
