We are an in-office company, and our expectation is that full-time employees primarily work from their Applied Intuition office 5 days a week. However, we also recognize the importance of flexibility and trust our employees to manage their schedules responsibly. This may include occasional remote work, starting the day with morning meetings from home before heading to the office, or leaving earlier when needed to accommodate family commitments. This in-office expectation does not apply to contractor positions

About the role

We are looking for both infrastructure engineers with expertise in machine learning pipelines and ML engineers that want to work beyond modeling to join the Data & ML infra group. This role will work across the entire ML lifecycle (dataset generation, training frameworks, compute, evaluation, and deployment) and work directly with modeling teams. This team is a good fit if you are excited to work on broad, ambiguous problems and develop across the entire ML stack. At Applied Intuition, we encourage all engineers to take ownership over technical and product decisions, closely interact with external and internal users to collect feedback, and contribute to a thoughtful, dynamic team culture.

At Applied Intuition, you will:

• Design and implement distributed cloud GPU training approaches for deep learning model training and evaluation

• Build end-to-end machine learning pipelines and integrate them into core product workflows

• Encourage change, especially in support of ML engineering best practices, and maintain a high standard of excellence

• Collaborate with engineers across the entire company to solve complex data problems at scale

We're looking for someone who has:

• A Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or equivalent

• 3+ years of professional experience

• Experience with building software components to address production, full-stack machine learning challenges. This is not purely a research problem

• Opinions about building a company-wide platform for ML training, evaluation, and deployment

• Knowledge of the open source landscape with judgment on when to choose open source versus build in-house

• Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills

Nice to have:

• Experience with developing, running, and managing orchestration systems like Airflow and Flyte that non engineers can use to build data pipelines.

• Experience with ML modeling frameworks (PyTorch, Tensorflow, etc.), and model serving platforms  (TorchServe, TensorFlow Serving, NVIDIA Triton inference server, etc.)

Compensation at Applied Intuition for eligible roles includes base salary, equity, and benefits. Base salary is a single component of the total compensation package, which may also include equity in the form of options and/or restricted stock units, comprehensive health, dental, vision, life and disability insurance coverage, 401k retirement benefits with employer match, learning and wellness stipends, and paid time off. Note that benefits are subject to change and may vary based on jurisdiction of employment.

Applied Intuition pay ranges reflect the minimum and maximum intended target base salary for new hire salaries for the position. The actual base salary offered to a successful candidate will additionally be influenced by a variety of factors including experience, credentials & certifications, educational attainment, skill level requirements, interview performance, and the level and scope of the position.

Please reference the job posting’s subtitle for where this position will be located. For pay transparency purposes, the base salary range for this full-time position in the location listed is: $215,000 - $285,000 USD annually.
