- Build and maintain model-serving systems (vLLM/Triton/TGI/ONNX/TensorRT/AITemplate) with batching, streaming, caching, and memory management.
- Integrate with vector/feature stores and data pipelines (FAISS/Milvus/Pinecone/pgvector; Parquet/Delta) as needed for production.
- Define and track performance and cost KPIs; run continuous improvement loops and capacity planning.
- Partner with ML Ops on CI/CD, telemetry/observability, model registries; partner with Scientists on reproducible handoffs and evaluations.
Educational Qualifications:
- Bachelors in computer science, Electrical/Computer Engineering, or a related field required; Master’s preferred (or equivalent industry experience).
- Strong systems/ML engineering with exposure to distributed training and inference optimization.
Industry Experience:
- 3–5 years in ML/AI engineering roles owning training and/or serving in production at scale.
- Demonstrated success delivering high-throughput, low-latency ML services with reliability and cost improvements.
- Experience collaborating across Research, Platform/Infra, Data, and Product functions.
Technical Skills:
- Familiarity with deep learning frameworks: PyTorch (primary), TensorFlow.
- Exposure to large model training techniques (DDP, FSDP, ZeRO, pipeline/tensor parallelism); distributed training experience a plus
- Optimization: experience profiling and optimizing code execution and model inference: (PTQ/QAT/AWQ/GPTQ), pruning, distillation, KV-cache optimization, Flash Attention
- Scalable serving: autoscaling, load balancing, streaming, batching, caching; collaboration with platform engineers.
- Data & storage: SQL/NoSQL, vector stores (FAISS/Milvus/Pinecone/pgvector), Parquet/Delta, object stores.
- Write performant, maintainable code
- Understanding of the full ML lifecycle: data collection, model training, deployment, inference, optimization, and evaluation.
