TL;DR · Senior Machine Learning Engineer, AI Platform

Senior Machine Learning Engineer, AI Platform joins the team responsible for the shared compute and inference platform powering generative AI products. This role involves owning the architecture and roadmap for critical components including training orchestration, GPU scheduling, and model serving to ensure high throughput and low latency. You will design distributed systems that manage large-scale training across thousands of accelerators while building seamless paths to move models from experimentation to production. The work focuses on solving infrastructure challenges like multi-tenancy, elasticity, and cost efficiency for a shared GPU fleet. Required skills include expertise in Kubernetes, containerized workloads, and cloud infrastructure, alongside proficiency in Python and systems languages such as Go, C++, Rust, or Java. Familiarity with PyTorch, FSDP, DeepSpeed, vLLM, TensorRT-LLM, Triton, or Ray Serve is also highly valued for this role.

What you'll do

  • Own the architecture and roadmap for core machine learning compute and inference platform components.
  • Design and operate distributed systems for large-scale training and low-latency inference across thousands of accelerators.
  • Optimize multi-tenancy, elasticity, and cost efficiency across a shared GPU fleet.
  • Build automated pipelines to move models from experimental stages to production without re-implementation.
  • Establish engineering standards for reliability, observability, and performance across the platform infrastructure.
  • Translate emerging workloads into first-class platform capabilities in partnership with research and product teams.
  • Provide technical leadership and mentorship to engineers across the machine learning platform organization.

What we're looking for

  • 7+ years of experience building and operating large-scale platform, infrastructure, or distributed systems in production.
  • Expertise in distributed systems and cloud infrastructure including Kubernetes and multi-region clusters.
  • Proficiency in Python and at least one systems language such as Go, C++, Rust, or Java.
  • Proven track record of designing systems that other engineers build on with clear architectural tradeoffs.
  • Ability to drive measurable outcomes regarding latency, throughput, utilization, and reliability across teams.
  • Experience with GPU/accelerator scheduling, performance tuning, or fleet management is preferred.
  • Familiarity with ML framework internals (PyTorch, FSDP, DeepSpeed) or modern inference stacks (vLLM, TensorRT-LLM, Triton, Ray Serve).
  • Experience operating ML or data infrastructure at the scale of a major product organization.
