In this role, you will architect and deliver high-impact ML platform capabilities - spanning training infrastructure, model serving, feature engineering pipelines, and AI-accelerated developer tooling - that enable thousands of engineers and researchers across Meta to build and ship state-of-the-art machine learning models at scale., 1. Architect and own large-scale ML infrastructure systems, including distributed training frameworks, model serving platforms, and feature computation pipelines that support production workloads across Meta's product surface 2. Lead the technical design and implementation of foundational ML platform components, evaluating trade-offs across performance, reliability, and developer experience 3. Drive end-to-end delivery of major ML infrastructure initiatives, coordinating across teams and disciplines to align on priorities, manage dependencies, and execute phased rollouts 4. Identify and resolve performance bottlenecks in ML training and inference systems through instrumentation, profiling, and targeted optimization 5. Define and enforce service level objectives for core ML platform services, building dashboards, alerting systems, and runbooks to reduce mean time to mitigation during incidents 6. Establish and advocate for engineering best practices in ML systems development, including testing strategies, safe rollout patterns, and AI-accelerated development workflows 7. Collaborate with research, product engineering, and infrastructure teams as a credible technical co-owner, independently driving design reviews, data analyses, and architectural decisions 8. Mentor other engineers on ML systems design, debugging complex distributed system issues, and applying AI tools to accelerate development velocity 9. Contribute to the team's technical roadmap by identifying opportunities to improve ML platform capabilities and obtaining buy-in from key stakeholders across the organization ## Related Videos - [Navigating the AI Revolution in Software Development](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1266-navigating-the-ai-revolution-in-software-development) - [Machine learning in the browser with TensorFlowjs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/155-machine-learning-in-the-browser-with-tensorflowjs) - [Profiling Symfony & PHP apps with Blackfire](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/265-profiling-symfony-php-apps-with-blackfire) - [Photonic Computing: Programming a New Class of AI Accelerators (incl.
