TL;DR · ML Compute Efficiency Automation Engineer, Infrastructure & Planning

The ML Compute Efficiency Automation Engineer, Infrastructure & Planning joins the Platform Acceleration & Compute Efficiency team to optimize the machine learning ecosystem and improve infrastructure scalability. You will build automated systems to replace manual operations like resource requests, allocation tracking, and efficiency reporting with self-correcting tooling. Your daily work involves governing compute as code, hunting for inefficiencies in inference and training workloads across GPUs, TPUs, and custom Apple Silicon, and developing telemetry schemas for anomaly detection. To succeed, you must possess strong programming skills in Python or similar languages, proficiency in SQL, and experience with tools like Tableau, Looker, or Grafana. You will solve complex problems regarding scheduling, capacity allocation, and serving costs while designing data models to manage infrastructure at scale. The role focuses on maximizing hardware utilization for foundation models to ensure high development velocity.

What you'll do

  • Build systems of record for resource requests, allocations, and utilization to ensure accurate data at scale.
  • Identify and resolve inefficiencies in inference and training workloads across GPUs, TPUs, and Apple Silicon.
  • Solve core optimization problems regarding scheduling, capacity allocation, and serving costs for large models.
  • Automate manual workflows such as triage, reporting, and reconciliation to eliminate operational toil.
  • Develop telemetry, schemas, and anomaly detection systems to surface efficiency and cost opportunities.
  • Re-architect infrastructure processes that buckle under scale to ensure they grow with usage rather than headcount.
  • Create reusable tools and automated systems that allow the team to operate without manual intervention.

What we're looking for

  • BS in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or equivalent practical experience.
  • 6 or more years of experience building production software, automation, tooling, or data and infrastructure systems.
  • Proficiency in Python or similar languages for automation, pipelines, and tooling.
  • Experience with SQL and creating dashboards or data products in tools like Tableau, Looker, or Grafana.
  • Experience designing data models or telemetry schemas for infrastructure, capacity, or utilization data.
  • Experience operating complex systems in large-scale compute, cloud, or infrastructure environments.
  • Proficiency with AI tooling and coding assistants as part of a standard workflow.
  • Experience with ML training/inference infrastructure, GPU/TPU utilization, and foundation model serving.
