Responsibilities

  • Design, build, and operate observability, evaluation, and tooling subsystems for next-generation ML architecture.
  • Prove new subsystems through current AIMS operations, including anomaly detection, root cause analysis, and operational automation.
  • Build observability systems for model behavior, training pipeline health, serving latency, and data quality.
  • Drive cost optimization across AI/ML training and serving infrastructure through increasingly automated frameworks and tooling.
  • Architect reliability improvements, reduce operational toil, improve on-call ergonomics, and establish operational excellence standards.
  • Contribute to the target architecture and migration path for the modernized AIMS AI/ML stack.
  • Evaluate emerging infrastructure patterns, model paradigms, and platform capabilities and translate them into a forward-looking roadmap.
  • Coordinate with partner teams, manage dependencies, set technical direction, and build consensus without formal authority.

Requirements

  • Significant experience designing, building, and operating production AI/ML systems at scale, including training pipelines and model serving or online inference under high traffic.
  • Hands-on experience building orchestration or control subsystems for advanced agentic architectures, such as memory, trace, evaluation, replay, routing, or orchestration layers.
  • Strong software engineering fundamentals, deep Python expertise, and working proficiency in Scala or Java.
  • Proven experience improving AI/ML reliability, infrastructure cost, and operational scalability.
  • Experience building observability and monitoring systems for AI/ML workloads across training, serving, and data pipelines.
  • Strong distributed systems background, including large-scale batch processing and real-time serving infrastructure.
  • High technical judgment, systems thinking, and the ability to develop reusable frameworks and make pragmatic investment decisions.
  • Preferred qualifications include familiarity with LLM evaluation, trace or replay tooling, feature stores, model-serving platforms, experiment frameworks, production AI/ML migrations, and recommendation, search, or discovery systems.

Benefits

  • Comprehensive health plans, mental health support, 401(k) retirement plan with employer match, stock option program, disability programs, health savings and flexible spending accounts, family-forming benefits, and life and serious injury benefits.
