About the Role

We're looking for ML engineers to accelerate development progress and improve our ML developer experience. Ideally, you've worked in a fast-paced development environment before. We're looking for software engineers who love making both the teams they work with and the GPUs they work with more productive.

About the Work

In this role you will design, build, and maintain the tools to track our whole model development lifecycle - such as feature store, experiment tracking, and model registry. This will also include: 

• Implement tools to track the model development lifecycle for an efficient deployment and evaluation process.
• Develop issue detection and alerting mechanisms for critical ML services (training jobs, data pipelines, model deployments) to quickly detect issues and ensure high uptime.
• Maintain observability dashboards to track model performance, data quality, and system metrics. 
• Champion best practices for robust, reproducible, and debuggable ML experimentation.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams (perception, behavior, mapping, simulation teams, etc.) to identify infrastructure needs and integrate solutions across various domains for end-to-end ML solutions.
• Thoughtfully balance innovative exploration with practical considerations.

About You

• 2+ years of relevant work experience or an equivalent experience in Masters/PhD with 2+ years of relevant experience.
• Strong coding skills in Python or C++.
• Exposure to the ML development life cycle and ML models.
• Experience profiling and optimizing performance bottlenecks in distributed systems. 
• Eager to overcome obstacles and accelerate development make systems work better for the people who use them.

Bonus Points

• Work experience designing, implementing, operating, or maintaining feature and model stores.
• Previous contributions to open source ML Infrastructure projects or research publications in ML systems.
• Experience with Pytorch, JAX, or TensorFlow
