- Deploy Models at Scale: Collaborate with software engineers to deploy machine learning models into production, ensuring seamless integration with existing systems.
- Monitoring and Maintenance: Implement monitoring solutions to track model performance in real-time and perform regular maintenance and updates as needed.
- Collaboration: Work closely with cross-functional teams, including data scientists, software developers, and business analysts, to understand requirements and deliver impactful solutions.
- Research and Innovation: Stay abreast of the latest advancements in machine learning and contribute to the research and development of innovative solutions.
### Qualifications

- Experience with optimizing models for size, cost, and latency is a plus.
- Proficient in designing, developing, and operating fine-tuning pipelines in production environments
- Experience with large-scale data processing and distributed systems
- Strong programming skills in Python, and proficiency in machine learning libraries such as PyTorch, Tensorflow etc.
### Work Experience

- 3+ years of experience in similar role, focus on developing and deploying ML models in production environments
- Startup experience is a plus
### Benefits

- Early stage equity
- Comprehensive health insurance
- Generous PTO
- Remote and in person cultures that promote collaboration
