Full Job Description
Overview

We9re looking for an ML Training Platform Engineer to architect, build, and scale the foundational infrastructure powering our decentralized ML training platform. You will own core systems spanning infrastructure orchestration, distributed compute, and services integration, enabling continuous experimentation and large-scale model training.

Responsibilities
  • Multi-Cloud Infrastructure: Design resource management systems provisioning and orchestrating compute across AWS, GCP, and Azure using infrastructure-as-code (Pulumi/Terraform). Handle dynamic scaling, state synchronization, and concurrent operations across hundreds of heterogeneous nodes.
  • Distributed Training Systems: Architect fault-tolerant infrastructure for distributed ML. GPU clusters, NVIDIA runtime, S3 checkpointing, Large dataset management and streaming, health monitoring, and resilient retry strategies.
  • Real-World Networking: Build systems that simulate and handle real-world network conditions - bandwidth shaping, latency injection, packet loss - while managing dynamic node churn and ensuring efficient data flow across workers with heterogeneous connectivity, because our training happens on consumer nodes and non co-located infrastructure, not in a datacenter.


What You9ll Bring

Ideally, you9ll have 5+ years of work experience with deep experience in:
  • Infrastructure & Platform Engineering: Production experience with infrastructure-as-code (Pulumi/Terraform/CloudFormation) managing multi-cloud deployments, lifecycle orchestration, self-healing systems, Docker/Kubernetes (EKS), GPU workloads, and heterogeneous clusters at scale.
  • Distributed Systems & ML Infrastructure: Deep understanding of distributed training workflows, checkpointing, data sharding, model versioning, long-running job orchestration, decentralized networking (P2P, NAT traversal, traffic shaping), and real-world bandwidth constraints.
  • Systems Programming & Reliability: Strong Python engineering (asyncio, concurrency, retry logic, cloud SDKs, CLI tooling) with hands-on experience in observability, SRE practices, monitoring (Prometheus/Grafana), performance profiling, and incident response.


What we9re looking for
  • Experience in a startup environment with an emphasis on micro-services orchestration or big tech background
  • Deep understanding of multi-cloud infra & distributed training systems
  • A team player with high attention to detail
  • A strong passion to join
