Job description

Join our team of innovative engineers that are building an AI Data Center AIOps platform that turns raw, high-volume telemetry into reliable, job-centric insights and automation for GPU fleets. As an ML Engineer on this team, you'll design and implement ML algorithms that run in real-time streaming pipelines, detecting anomalies and surfacing insights across massive-scale infrastructure before they impact AI training and inference.

The core challenge of this role is building ML algorithms that are simultaneously accurate and efficient —processing millions of telemetry streams in real time within tight CPU and memory budgets. You'll need both the data science depth to design and validate algorithms and the engineering discipline to implement them in production at scale.

What you’ll be doing:

• Implement production ML algorithms in Go — optimized for real-time streaming pipelines operating at massive scale under strict resource constraints
• Design and develop new ML algorithms where needed: anomaly detection, health scoring, and predictive analytics on high-volume time‑series telemetry from GPU and network infrastructure
• Improve and extend existing algorithms and experiment with new approaches suited to real‑time streaming constraints
• Build and maintain end‑to‑end ML pipelines — from data ingestion and schema design through model inference — optimized for on‑premises, latency‑sensitive deployments
• Partner with the Data Science team on algorithm design, prototype evaluation, and translating research findings into platform requirements

What we need to see:

• A BS (or equivalent experience) and 5+ years of experience, MS and 3+ years, or PhD with 1+ years in Computer Science, Statistics, or a related field
• Strong mathematical foundation: statistics, probability, linear algebra, and algorithm analysis
• Proven experience implementing and optimizing ML algorithms in production — this is a coding‑first role; strong implementation skills are required
• Strong programming skills in one or more of Go, C/C++, Rust, or Scala; Python working knowledge is a plus
• Familiarity with time‑series databases and streaming data architectures
• Ability to work independently and navigate ambiguity in a fast‑paced engineering environment

Ways to stand out from the crowd:

• Data Science background with hands‑on experience building and validating ML models — bridging research and production implementation
• Experience implementing ML algorithms directly in systems languages for latency‑sensitive or resource‑constrained environments
• Research experience: knowing the latest ML literature and translating advances into practical improvements
• Experience with Kafka‑based streaming pipelines and real‑time feature engineering at scale

With competitive salaries and a generous benefits package, we are widely considered to be one of the technology world’s most desirable employers. We have some of the most forward‑thinking and hardworking people in the world working for us and, due to unprecedented growth, our exclusive engineering teams are rapidly growing. If you're a creative and autonomous engineer with a real passion for technology, we want to hear from you.

Your base salary will be determined based on your location, experience, and the pay of employees in similar positions. The base salary range is 152,000 USD – 241,500 USD for Level 3, and 184,000 USD – 287,500 USD for Level 4.

You will also be eligible for equity and benefits.

Applications for this job will be accepted at least until July 14, 2026.
