Machine Learning DevOps - Cloud and Compute Cluster - R&D Support

• Optimize infrastructure for ML training and inference (e.g., GPUs, distributed compute).
• Automate and maintain ML/LLM pipelines (data ingestion, training, validation, deployment).
• Manage model versioning, reproducibility, and traceability.
• Work with terabyte-large datasets.
• Implement ML-centric CI/CD practices.
• Monitor model performance and data drift in production.
• Collaborate with machine learning engineers, software engineers, and platform teams.

The role focuses on operationalizing machine learning models, ensuring scalability, reliability, and automation across the ML lifecycle.

• Responsibilities and ability to make significant contribution to the company’ success
• Inclusive workplace culture

Pathway builds the first post-transformer frontier model that enables recurrent reasoning and recurrent memory, unbounded context, and real-time adaptation. We’re not optimizing yesterday’s technology; we’re building what comes after Transformers.

Pathway is currently scaling its internal models from billions of parameters towards hundreds of billions of parameters, aiming at achieving differentiated frontier intelligence.

Pathway is led by co-founder & CEO Zuzanna Stamirowska, a complexity scientist who created a team consisting of AI pioneers, including CTO Jan Chorowski who was the first person to apply Attention to speech and worked with Nobel laureate Geoff Hinton at Google Brain, as well as CSO Adrian Kosowski, a leading computer scientist and quantum physicist who obtained his PhD at the age of 20.

The company is backed by leading investors, as well as advisors including Lukasz Kaiser, co-author of the Transformer (“the T” in ChatGPT) and a key researcher behind OpenAI’s reasoning models, and Jonathan Frankle, Chief AI Scientist at Databricks and Co-founder at Mosaic. Pathway is headquartered in Palo Alto, California.
