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 covering 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.

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.
  • A proven track record of improving AI/ML system reliability, reducing infrastructure costs, and improving operational scalability.
  • Experience building observability and monitoring systems for AI/ML workloads across training, serving, and data pipelines.
  • Strong distributed systems background, including batch processing at scale and real-time serving infrastructure.
  • Experience driving technical programs across functions, managing dependencies, setting direction, and building consensus without formal authority.
  • Strong technical judgment and the ability to identify reusable patterns, prioritize investments, and make pragmatic tradeoffs.
  • Ability to scope problems, define approaches, and adapt in ambiguous environments.
  • Preferred: familiarity with LLM evaluation, trace or replay tooling, modern AI/ML infrastructure patterns, feature stores, model-serving platforms, experiment frameworks, production AI/ML migrations, and personalization domains such as recommendations, search, or discovery.
