As data volume and complexity grow, our platform also supports large-scale model training, feature generation, and experimentation workflows that power production ML systems. To support this growth, we need strong technical ownership to ensure our ML pipelines remain reliable, scalable, and architecturally sound. We are seeking a staff ML engineer to design and evolve the large-scale offline platform. This role focuses on building reliable infrastructure for generating training datasets, orchestrating ML workflows, and enabling efficient, distributed model training at scale. You will work closely with ML engineers and platform teams to ensure our pipelines can efficiently handle growing data volumes and increasingly complex training workloads. You will play a key role in shaping how model datasets are prepared as well as model training, validated, and delivered to distributed training systems, while ensuring the reliability, scalability, and performance of our offline ML platform. What you'll be doing * Design and operate large-scale data pipelines that generate training datasets used for machine learning training and experimentation * Develop infrastructure that supports distributed training workflows using technologies such as Pytorch, Ray Data, and Ray Train, etc. * Integrate ML pipelines with workflow orchestration systems (e.g., Flyte, Airflow, or similar) to enable reliable multi-stage training workflows * Improve reproducibility and observability of ML pipelines through dataset validation, monitoring, and automated testing * Optimize performance and resource utilization across distributed compute systems used for data processing and model training * Partner closely with ML engineers to enable efficient large-scale experimentation and model iteration * Lead architectural improvements to ensure our offline ML pipelines remain scalable, reliable, and cost-efficient ## Related Videos - [From Messy Queries to Scalable Systems - How Data Engineering actually works](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100203-from-messy-queries-to-scalable-systems-how-data-engineering-actually-works) - [Empowering Retail Through Applied Machine Learning](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/976-empowering-retail-through-applied-machine-learning) - [Introduction to Azure Machine Learning](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/368-introduction-to-azure-machine-learning) - [Photonic Computing: Programming a New Class of AI Accelerators (incl.
