About the Role:
We are seeking a Machine Learning Infrastructure Engineer to join us in building the pivotal infrastructure that trains, serves, and monitors the models behind our Ads and Recommendations products. You will be part of a small, high-responsibility team that implements platform enhancements end-to-end—collaborating with product and data teams to minimize latency and costs while expediting the transition from concept to safely launched model.
Your role will encompass the entire ML lifecycle: enhancing training efficiency and reliability, optimizing model serving performance, and fortifying our feature/embedding platform to ensure models remain current and consistent across offline and online applications. We are looking for someone who takes genuine ownership, completes tasks, and elevates the standards for stability and developer experience.
Why This Role:
- Scope & Impact: Join a small team with a significant influence—your contributions will directly impact production.
- Ownership: Manage everything from design to rollout and post-launch insights; enjoy real autonomy with support.
- Growth: Gain visibility across the stack and a clear pathway to lead projects and mentor others.
- Pragmatic Culture: We prioritize outcomes over jargon, valuing clear thinking and follow-through.
