About this role

We are looking for an ML Infrastructure Engineer with 3+ years of experience to own and scale the training and inference stack at a fast-growing AI document processing platform. You'll be a strong generalist who understands the mechanics of how ML models work – from serving and monitoring to building robust data pipelines – and can improve inference performance, reliability, and cost efficiency. This is a high-impact IC role where you'll work closely with ML researchers to ensure models are deployed quickly and reliably, and that infrastructure is never a bottleneck for the products being served. The ideal candidate is AI-native from the get-go, comfortable with 1-to-3 node training and single-to-double node serving, and thrives in a fast-paced startup environment.

What you will be doing

Building and maintaining model serving infrastructure – improving inference speed, monitoring, and reliability to ensure it's never a bottleneck for customers

Setting up and improving training infrastructure for models ranging from 300M to 30B parameters across 1-to-3 node environments

Developing observability, logging, and monitoring systems across the ML stack

Building internal data pipelines and tooling to help ML researchers move faster from experiment to production

Architecting infrastructure to arbitrate inference between multiple cloud providers while optimizing for accuracy, latency, and cost

What happens next

Skip the application pile. I get you in front of the people who decide.

Confirm the fit
