Machine Learning Engineer, ML Infrastructure (New Grads)

We are seeking a ML engineer to evolve Unity Vector’s ML platform. This role focuses on building reliable infrastructure for serving machine learning models in production, or model training platform, and enabling safe, efficient experimentation across high-traffic online systems.

You will work closely with ML engineers, platform teams, and product stakeholders to ensure models can be deployed, scaled, monitored, and iterated on efficiently. You will play a key role in shaping how models are packaged, served, validated, monitored, and optimized in production environments.

This role requires strong systems thinking, deep experience with production ML infrastructure, and the ability to drive architectural improvements across teams.

What You’ll Do

• Contribute to large-scale ML infrastructure that serves production ML models with low latency and high reliability or trains production ML models.

• Optimize large-scale production model performance through model compilation, quantization, GPU acceleration, GPU kernel optimization, caching, or runtime tuning.

• Develop infrastructure for model deployment, canary testing, A/B experimentation, traffic splitting, rollback, and production validation.

• Improve observability of online ML systems through latency, throughput, error-rate, cost, saturation, and model-health monitoring.

• Build self-healing and autoscaling capabilities to support dynamic experiment traffic, changing model complexity, and production reliability requirements.

• Partner closely with ML engineers to support faster model iteration while maintaining production safety, scalability, and cost efficiency.

• Improve the reliability and reproducibility of model serving workflows, including model packaging, artifact validation, compatibility testing, and deployment automation.

• Lead architectural improvements that make the online ML platform more robust, user-friendly, scalable, and cost-efficient.

What We’re Looking For

•  Experience building and operating ML infrastructure using technologies such as PyTorch, Triton Inference Server, Kubernetes, GKE, Ray, or similar distributed serving frameworks.

• Experience optimizing model performance using techniques such as model compilation, quantization, GPU acceleration, GPU kernel optimization, caching, or runtime tuning.

• Experience with distributed systems, Kubernetes, autoscaling, service reliability, and production observability.

• Strong programming skills in Python, with practical experience working on production ML systems and high-scale services.

• Experience with PyTorch and modern model deployment workflows, including model packaging, validation, and serving lifecycle management.

• Experience designing infrastructure for safe model rollout, canary testing, A/B experimentation, and automated rollback.

• Strong systems thinking, with the ability to reason about latency, throughput, reliability, scalability, and cost tradeoffs in online systems.

• Proven ability to lead technical direction and influence architectural decisions across teams without formal authority.
