Responsibilities

  • Define Preply’s technical vision and roadmap for its ML and GenAI platform.
  • Lead architecture across the full ML lifecycle, including experimentation, feature engineering, artifact management, training, deployment, monitoring, retraining, and governance.
  • Design cloud-native infrastructure for distributed training and inference, including GPU environments, autoscaling, workload isolation, rollout strategies, and cost optimization.
  • Set technical direction for ML CI/CD with testing, validation, security, performance checks, and release controls.
  • Establish observability standards covering model metrics, service health, alerts, drift detection, data quality, lineage, and business impact.
  • Develop GenAI and LLM platform capabilities such as LLM gateways, vector retrieval infrastructure, prompt experimentation, evaluation frameworks, and model-serving patterns.
  • Build platform abstractions, internal libraries, templates, and self-service tooling for ML Scientists and engineers.
  • Partner with Applied Science, Data, Product, and Engineering leaders to align platform investments with experimentation velocity, reliability, cost efficiency, and user impact.
  • Mentor senior engineers, influence architecture, raise engineering standards, and guide complex platform decisions.

Requirements

  • 9+ years of engineering experience with significant depth in large-scale ML, data, infrastructure, or platform systems.
  • Experience architecting and scaling production-grade ML platforms for multiple teams, workflows, and use cases.
  • Deep understanding of cloud-native architecture and end-to-end ML workflows, including experimentation, feature management, model versioning, training, deployment, monitoring, benchmarking, and lifecycle management.
  • Strong hands-on experience with GCP or AWS, Kubernetes, distributed compute, CI/CD, observability, and infrastructure-as-code practices.
  • Experience building enabling tools and platform capabilities for Applied Scientists, Data Scientists, and engineering teams.
  • Strong technical judgment across reliability, scalability, security, cost, and developer experience.
  • Experience aligning cross-functional stakeholders and translating platform strategy into execution.
  • Demonstrated ability to mentor engineers, raise engineering standards, and multiply team impact.
  • Product-impact mindset focused on experimentation, user experience, and measurable business value.
  • Familiarity with LLM frameworks and GenAI infrastructure, including LangChain, LlamaIndex, vector stores, retrieval systems, prompt evaluation, model serving, or LLM observability.

Benefits

  • Open, collaborative, dynamic, and diverse culture.
  • Monthly allowance for lessons on Preply.com.
  • Learning and Development budget and time off for self-development.
  • Competitive financial package including equity, leave allowance, and health insurance.
