We are an in-office company, and our expectation is that employees primarily work from their Applied Intuition office 5 days a week. However, we also recognize the importance of flexibility and trust our employees to manage their schedules responsibly. This may include occasional remote work, starting the day with morning meetings from home before heading to the office, or leaving earlier when needed to accommodate family commitments.

About the role

We are looking for both infrastructure engineers with expertise in machine learning pipelines and AI research engineers that want to work beyond modeling to join our AI Infrastructure group. This role will work across the entire AI lifecycle (dataset generation, training frameworks, compute, evaluation, and deployment) and work directly with modeling teams. This team is a good fit if you are excited to work on broad, ambiguous problems and develop across the entire ML stack. At Applied Intuition, we encourage all engineers to take ownership over technical and product decisions, closely interact with external and internal users to collect feedback, and contribute to a thoughtful, dynamic team culture.

At Applied Intuition, you will:

Design and build training and evaluation infrastructure to support our current AI research directions, orchestrating massive GPU clusters to process PBs of multimodal sensor data
Create robust benchmarking and continuous evaluation systems to track model progress across diverse, real-world driving distributions
Develop scalable systems for large-scale data sampling, dataset creation, and advanced curation techniques leveraging state-of-the-art AI models
Work across cloud environments to support high-throughput distributed training
Collaborate closely with the AI research team and autonomy teams
Technologies: Pytorch, CUDA, Ray, Flyte, K8s

We're looking for someone who has:

Experience with building software components to address production, full-stack machine learning challenges.
Opinions about building a company-wide platform for ML training, evaluation, and deployment
Knowledge of the open source landscape with judgment on when to choose open source versus build in-house
Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills
