About the Role:

We are seeking a talented and driven Machine Learning Optimization Engineer to join our innovative team. This role is crucial for turning innovative prototypes into scalable, production-grade solutions. You'll be responsible for transforming our cutting-edge machine learning models into highly efficient, high-performance applications ready for real-world deployment. If you're passionate about squeezing every last drop of performance out of ML models, this is the role for you!

Key Responsibilities:

- Analyze and profile machine learning models to identify performance bottlenecks in terms of latency, throughput, and computational cost.

- Apply state-of-the-art optimization techniques, including but not limited to quantization, pruning, knowledge distillation, and architecture modification, to meet performance targets (e.g., reduce inference latency by 30% for cost reduction).

- Benchmark model performance across various hardware platforms to ensure optimal cost-efficiency and runtime.

- Compile and deploy optimized models to specialized hardware and cloud services, such as AWS Neuron (using AWS Inferentia) and AWS SageMaker.

- Deploy and maintain robust MLOps workflows for automated model optimization, deployment, and monitoring, using tools like MLflow, Kubeflow, or Airflow.

- Work with containerization tools like Docker to ensure reproducible and scalable deployments.

- Collaborate closely with ML researchers and ML Engineers to understand model architecture and ensure seamless integration into production pipelines.

- Stay current with the latest research and industry trends in model optimization and efficient deep learning.

Qualifications:

- Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field.

- Proven experience in optimizing and deploying machine learning models in a production environment.

- Deep understanding of computer architecture, including memory hierarchy, parallelism, and hardware-specific features (e.g., NVIDIA Tensor Cores, AWS Inferentia) to optimize ML models via hardware-targeted code for efficient deployment.

- Strong proficiency in Python and deep learning frameworks such as PyTorch.

- Hands-on experience with model optimization libraries and tools (e.g., ONNX Runtime, TensorRT, TVM).

- Solid understanding of ML model architectures (e.g., Transformers, CNNs) and their computational characteristics.

- Direct experience with cloud platforms, particularly AWS and services like SageMaker, EC2, and S3.

- Excellent analytical, problem-solving, and prioritization skills.

- Strong communication and presentation skills.

- Resourceful, ability to work independently while balancing being part of a team.

- Ability to use Gsuite tools in their work.

- A strong portfolio of personal projects demonstrating your AI/ML skills (e.g., GitHub repositories, publications, conference presentations) is highly desirable.

Bonus points:

- Specific experience deploying models to AWS Neuron and using the Neuron SDK.

- Familiarity with hardware accelerators for ML (GPUs, TPUs, AWS Inferentia/Trainium).

- Experience with lower-level programming languages like C++ for performance-critical code.

- Proficiency with containerization technologies like Docker and orchestration systems like Kubernetes.

- Knowledge of compiler technology and how it applies to machine learning models.
