About the role
Research Engineer responsible for building and scaling data processing and curation pipelines, designing experimentation infrastructure, and turning research results into production-grade systems for large-scale data and model training.
Responsibilities
- You'll build and scale the data processing and curation pipelines that operate over massive language, vision, and multimodal datasets, and make them fast, reliable, and cheap to run.
- You'll design the experimentation infrastructure that lets scientists iterate quickly at scale, turning a good idea into a running experiment in hours.
- Our work is guided by concrete customer needs and product outcomes. You'll take research results and harden them into production-grade systems that customers depend on.
- You'll profile and optimize large-scale training and data workloads, because at frontier scale, performance and cost are research constraints.
Qualifications
- 3+ years building ML systems, data infrastructure, or large-scale distributed applications
- Strong software engineering fundamentals, fluency in Python, and hands-on experience with PyTorch
- Experience with distributed data processing and/or distributed training, using tools such as Spark, Ray, Dask, or Snowflake
- Comfort operating large-scale compute, including GPU clusters and cloud infrastructure
- Enough machine learning depth to collaborate substantively with researchers, not just implement their specs
- A demonstrated track record of shipping systems that others rely on, whether through production infrastructure, open-source tools, or other artifacts
