TL;DR · Senior Machine Learning Engineer, Services/MLOps

Senior Machine Learning Engineer, Services/MLOps joins the Firefly Foundry team to build robust pipelines and services for enterprise-grade generative AI products. This role involves managing the full serving lifecycle for heterogeneous model pipelines, including fine-tuned LLMs, image and video generation models, 3D mesh reconstruction, and safety checkers. You will deploy these as scalable services, ensuring they meet strict latency and throughput targets while maintaining quality across training and production environments. Key responsibilities include managing GPU capacity, implementing multi-tenant data isolation, and developing automated quality gates for deployment. The role requires expertise in Python, PyTorch, Docker, Kubernetes, and CI/CD on AWS or Azure. You will work with diverse architectures like diffusion models and transformers to solve complex problems involving media intelligence, content querying, and high-scale inference optimization within a fast-moving production environment.

What you'll do

  • Manage the full serving lifecycle for heterogeneous model pipelines including packaging, versioned rollout, and autoscaling.
  • Deploy and scale multi-model pipelines to meet enterprise requirements for latency and throughput.
  • Ensure served model quality matches training environments by closing gaps in precision and preprocessing.
  • Engineer enterprise-grade features such as multi-tenant boundaries and data isolation for customer IP protection.
  • Build infrastructure for rapid pipeline deployment, including monitoring, alerting, and observability systems.
  • Establish automated quality gates to detect regressions and drift before models reach production.
  • Optimize GPU capacity and costs through efficient batching and right-sizing of acceleration fleets.
  • Perform operational ML tasks including on-call rotations, incident response, and postmortems for service availability.

What we're looking for

  • Must have 5+ years of experience in machine learning engineering with ownership of production ML or inference services at scale.
  • Requires strong Python and deep-learning engineering skills using PyTorch.
  • Must have experience deploying and scaling model-backed services, including multi-model pipelines behind APIs.
  • Requires expertise in building observability, monitoring, and alerting for production services to meet latency and throughput targets.
  • Must be comfortable working across various generative architectures including LLMs, VLMs, diffusion models, and 3D/mesh models.
  • Requires experience with multi-tenant systems and data isolation in enterprise or regulated contexts.
  • Must be fluent in containers and orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes), CI/CD for ML, and major cloud platforms like AWS or Azure.
  • Requires a Master’s or PhD in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
