About this role
Role Overview
- Accelerate researchers by owning the complex parts of large-scale pipelines and delivering robust internal tooling.
- Interface research with product: expose clean APIs, automate model pushes, surface live metrics.
- Write efficient, well-tested Python and systems code; enforce code review, CI, and observability.
- Design and optimise distributed services (Kubernetes / SLURM, thousands-of-GPU jobs).
- Prototype utilities (CLI, dashboards) and carry them through to stable, shared libraries.
Requirements
- Master’s in Computer Science (or equivalent experience).
- 4 + years building and operating large-scale or distributed systems.
- Strong software-design instincts: modular code, tests, CI/CD, observability.
- Fluency in Python plus one systems language (C++, Rust, Go or Java).
- Hands-on with container orchestration and schedulers (Kubernetes / K8s, SLURM, or similar).
- Comfortable profiling performance, optimising I/O, and automating workflows.
- Self-starter, low-ego, collaborative, high-energy.
- Exposure to ML workloads or data-processing pipelines.
- Experience with GPU clusters or CUDA.
- Open-source contributions or widely used internal tools.
