What are the responsibilities and job description for the Sr Software Development Engineer position at AllSTEM Connections?
Job Title: Senior Machine Learning Infrastructure Engineer
Role Overview
We are seeking a Senior Machine Learning Infrastructure Engineer to build the foundational engines that power our AI/ML initiatives. This is not a "model-building" role; it is a "system-building" role. You will architect and scale the pipelines, training platforms, and automation frameworks that allow our researchers and engineers to experiment faster, train more efficiently, and deploy models with absolute reliability.
You will have the autonomy to solve "blank-page" engineering problems: How do we reduce the time-to-market for a new model? How do we cut training costs without sacrificing quality? How do we build a self-service feature generation platform that scales to petabytes of data? If you are a pragmatic builder who values scalability and infrastructure stability as much as the models themselves, we want to hear from you.
Key Responsibilities
ML Infrastructure & Automation
Workflow Architecture: Design and build end-to-end ML workflows and automated pipelines that minimize manual intervention and accelerate the path from experimentation to production.
Training & Serving Platforms: Architect and scale our distributed training and model-serving infrastructure. Build the platforms that handle foundational model training, knowledge distillation, and high-performance inference.
Data Engineering at Scale: Develop robust data sampling and feature generation platforms that provide high-quality input for our ML systems.
Automation & Reliability: Build foundational tools that standardize how we train, track, and deploy models, ensuring high platform reliability and minimal deployment drift.
Performance & Optimization
Cost & Efficiency: Drive architectural decisions that optimize our infrastructure footprint. Implement smart resource management and cost-optimization strategies for large-scale training clusters.
Developer Productivity: Build "developer-first" internal tools that reduce the cognitive load on researchers, allowing them to focus on model logic rather than infrastructure configuration.
Qualifications & Requirements
Minimum Qualifications
Experience Baseline: Minimum of five (5) to ten (10) years of experience in designing, building, and maintaining large-scale ML infrastructure or distributed systems.
Infrastructure Mastery: Deep expertise in container orchestration (e.g., Kubernetes), distributed training, and cloud-native infrastructure.
Pipeline Expertise: Proven track record of managing massive-scale data pipelines and feature stores.
Collaboration: Strong "bridge-builder" personality-you are comfortable working in a high-velocity environment alongside both pure research scientists and core software engineers.
Preferred Attributes
Proven background at large-scale AI/ML-driven technology companies.
Experience with foundational model training infrastructure and techniques (e.g., model distillation, fine-tuning at scale).
A "Scalability Mindset"-you prioritize modular, reusable, and testable code over "quick and dirty" scripts.
