About the role
- Drive technical direction for ML engineering within Pegasus while remaining deeply hands-on in critical system design and implementation.
- Own the design and evolution of critical production ML systems for Pegasus, with a focus on scalability, reliability, performance, and fast iteration.
- Lead technical decision-making across model deployment, inference architecture, metadata systems, and ML infrastructure for Video Language Models (VLMs).
- Improve and automate the end-to-end ML lifecycle so research advances can translate into product improvements quickly and reliably.
- Mentor engineers and raise the team’s execution bar through strong technical judgment, design reviews, and hands-on collaboration.
- Explore and adopt AI-assisted development tools such as Claude, Gemini, and GPT to improve productivity across coding, experimentation, debugging, and documentation.
Requirements
- Significant experience building and productionizing ML systems as a hands-on individual contributor.
- Experience driving technical direction across ML projects and making architectural decisions in complex production environments.
- Strong foundations in machine learning and deep experience with multimodal systems such as vision, language, or video-based models.
- Experience building and evolving distributed ML or data workflows, ideally in Kubernetes-based environments.
- Strong technical judgment across system design, performance, reliability, and long-term maintainability.
- A track record of mentoring engineers and creating technical leverage beyond your own individual contributions.
- Preferred qualifications include experience serving or optimizing LLM/VLM systems in production, including inference optimization, throughput and latency tuning, batching, caching, or quantization.
- Experience designing and operating mission-critical AI/ML applications from 0 to 1 and scaling them in production.
- Experience with large-scale training or serving infrastructure for ML systems, including high-performance GPU environments.
- Master’s or PhD in Machine Learning, Computer Science, or a related technical field.
