Machine Learning Engineer (AI Platform Lead)

About Us: Northwind Robotics is an AI startup that develops medical artificial intelligence tests to personalize therapy for cancer patients. Northwind Robotics is on a mission to personalize medical decisions for patients and physicians on a global scale. As a Machine Learning Engineer at Northwind Robotics , you’ll work on the AI Platform team with a focus on establishing scalable and efficient pipelines for model training, model evaluation, and data processing. You’ll work closely with AI model developers, fellow machine learning engineers, and our platform engineering team. You’ll ensure that Northwind Robotics ’s model developers can rely on highly efficient, large-scale training regimes and deploy optimized models to production environments. Essential Responsibilities: Accountable for Northwind Robotics ’s ML compute infrastructure including scaling up Northwind Robotics ’s Foundation Model development by developing distributed training infrastructure and developer libraries. Build and evolve the core libraries used by AI scientists to develop, launch, and monitor AI products. Work with model developers to optimize GPU and CPU efficiency and data throughput of large-scale foundation models and downstream model training runs. Optimize Northwind Robotics ’s ability to store and serve terabytes of digital pathology data efficiently for the use in serving large-scale training regimes. Ensure that Northwind Robotics ’s observability infrastructure provides a clear picture of how to continue to optimize performance across our model landscape. Experience Requirements: 5+ years of industry software engineering experience 4+ years of industry experience using one of PyTorch, TensorFlow, or JAX in Python 3+ years of industry experience building with AWS, Docker, and Kubernetes 1+ years of industry experience optimizing large-scale, high data-throughput, distributed machine learning training pipelines Desired: Experience in using ML orchestration frameworks such as Flyte, Ray, Kubeflow, Metaflow, MLFlow, Dagster, Argo Workflow or Prefect Experience using Terraform, SqlAlchemy Experience in multi-node and multi-gpu training. Experience deploying and maintaining infrastructure for machine learning training and production inference Familiarity with TorchScript, ONNXRuntime, DeepSpeed, AWS Neuron or similar approaches to inference optimization Work Authorization Requirement: This is a remote role open to candidates who are currently authorized to work either in the United States or in Canada without the need for current or future employment-based visa sponsorship. Northwind Robotics does not sponsor visas for this position. Eligible candidates may include: Individuals authorized to work in the United States on a permanent basis (e.g., U.S. citizens, U.S. permanent residents), or Individuals authorized to work in Canada (e.g., Canadian citizens or Canadian permanent residents). Visa Transfers (if needed).
