Who We Are Looking For

We are looking for a Senior ML Infrastructure Engineer with a strong background in infrastructure, platform engineering, data systems, or large-scale software engineering.

You do not need to come from a pure ML infrastructure background to succeed in this role. What matters most is that you have strong engineering fundamentals and experience building robust, scalable, production-grade systems. You may have built cloud platforms, backend services, distributed data pipelines, or internal developer tooling, and you are excited to apply that experience to systems that support modern AI and ML workloads.

You are comfortable working close to both engineers and data scientists, translating experimental or research-oriented work into reliable, maintainable production components. You care about system design, operational excellence, automation, observability, and maintainability. You value clean interfaces, strong testing practices, and infrastructure that can scale with growing demands.

Beyond your technical skills, you are a strong communicator who can collaborate across disciplines, explain trade-offs clearly, and contribute to a high-trust, high-output team environment.
