About the Work
You will build the foundation that powers Nuro’s model development from experimentation to production. Key responsibilities include:
Resource Provisioning & IaC: Scaling automated infrastructure-as-code (IaC) pipelines to manage thousands of GPU/CPU nodes across diverse environments.
Intelligent Scheduling: Designing and optimizing workload orchestration to maximize hardware utilization, minimize job wait times, and handle massive-scale distributed training.
Data & ETL: Designing robust pipelines for the extraction and transformation of petabyte-scale sensor and telemetry data into ML-ready formats.
Feature Management: Implementing robust feature caching and storage solutions to reduce redundant computations and ensure low-latency access to pre-computed features.
Platform Abstraction: Contributing to a unified ML platform that abstracts complex cloud infrastructure for end-users.
About You
Experience: 3+ years of professional experience in ML Infrastructure, Backend Platform Engineering, or Distributed Systems.
Resource Provisioning: Deep familiarity with modern Infrastructure-as-Code and provisioning tools such as Terraform, Pulumi, or Crossplane.
Workload Scheduling: Hands-on experience building or managing large-scale orchestrators for compute-heavy workloads (e.g., Kubernetes, KubeRay, Ray, Slurm, or Volcano).
Distributed Data Processing: Proficiency in at least one distributed processing framework, such as Apache Spark or Apache Beam, for large-scale data extraction and transformation.
Feature Management: Experience implementing or maintaining feature stores and caching layers (e.g., Feast, Hopsworks, or Redis-based custom caching).
Systems Design: A strong understanding of distributed systems, networking, and storage bottlenecks in the context of high-performance computing.
Bonus Points
Active contributor to open-source projects in the MLOps or Cloud-Native ecosystem (e.g., CNCF, Ray, or Kubeflow communities).
Experience with high-performance storage systems (e.g., Lustre, Ceph, or specialized NVMe caching) for ML data loading.
Knowledge of cost-optimization strategies for large-scale GPU clusters in public clouds (AWS, GCP, or Azure).
