About the Role

We’re looking for a self-motivated, highly driven Senior Software Engineer to join our Machine Learning Platform (MLOps) team. As a team, we enable Attentive’s Machine Learning (ML) practice to directly impact Attentive’s AI product suite through the tools to train, inference, and deploy ML models with higher velocity and performance, while maintaining reliability. We build and maintain a foundational ML platform spanning the full ML lifecycle for consumption by ML engineers and data scientists. This is an exciting opportunity to join a rapidly growing ML Platform team at the ground floor with the ability to drive and influence the architectural roadmap enabling the entire ML organization at Attentive. This team and role is responsible for building and operating the ML data, tooling, serving, and inference layers of the ML platform. We are excited to bring on more engineers to continue expanding this stack.

What You'll Accomplish

Expand, mature, and optimize our ML platform built around cutting edge tooling like Ray, MLFlow, Metaflow, Argo, and Spark to support traditional, deep learning, and reinforcement learning ML models
Build and mature capabilities to support CPU / GPU clusters, model performance monitoring, drift detection, automated roll-outs, and improved developer experience
Build, operate, and maintain a low-latency, high volume ML serving layer covering both online and batch inference use cases
Orchestrate Kubernetes and ML training / inference infrastructure exposed as an ML platform
Expose and manage environments, interfaces, and workflows to enable ML engineers to develop, build, and test ML models and services

Your Expertise

You have been working in the areas of ML Platform / MLOps for 5+ years, and have an understanding of gold standard practices and best in class tooling for ML
You have owned and built core components of an ML Platform using tools such as Spark, Ray, MLFlow, Kubeflow, or Metaflow
Python is your coding language of choice, and you’ve worked with Python as both a batch analysis tool and online service framework
Your passion is exposing platform capabilities through interfaces that enable high performance ML practices, rather than designing ML experiments (this team does not directly develop ML models)
You understand the key differences between online and offline ML inference and can voice the critical elements to be successful with each to meet business needs
You understand the importance of CI/CD in building high-performing teams and have worked with tools like Jenkins, CircleCI, Argo Workflows, and ArgoCD

Sample Projects

Design and implement an online inference pipeline with champion/challenger shadow model testing
Scale real-time feature streaming use cases to handle low-latency, high-volume RL use cases
Build a universal data access layer (DAL) and serving interface to expose predictions to different parts of Attentive’s products
Mature platform interfaces toward full self-service for stakeholders
Improve existing build and release pipelines for better reliability and Python package management

You'll get competitive perks and benefits, from health & wellness to equity, to help you bring your best self to work.
