Senior Ml Infrastructure Engineer

Serve’s Machine Learning platform is an important core part of our autonomy. It empowers us to train and test all kinds of ML models for various real-world tasks. We also use it to mine useful data in terabytes of sensor recordings that we capture every day.
We are looking for an engineer who will join our Machine Learning Infrastructure team on a mission to build and improve this platform. We use Apache Beam (Dataflow) for our pipelines, Bazel as our build system, BigQuery via dbt and GCS for storage, Kubernetes for service deployment, and Airflow for our workflow management.
What You’ll Be Doing

• Make sensor data and its derivatives widely discoverable and accessible for Robotics Engineers across the entire company.
• Work with annotation provider on setting up the annotation process, quality control and feedback loops.
• Develop and maintain ML infrastructure, such as sensor data ETL pipelines, hard example data mining, continuous training pipelines, annotation platform, etc.
• Improve ML model development, management and deployment processes.
• Design and implement algorithms, such as collaborative filtering, active learning, etc., to rank/score annotation candidates.
• Working together with ML engineers, design metrics for ML tasks to mine sensor data of interest.

What Makes You a Strong Fit

• Experience designing, building, running and improving large-volume ML training and validation pipelines.
• Experience with large scale data processing pipelines in production.
• Hands-on experience and good knowledge of Computer Vision and Deep Learning.
• Strong tendency to automate own and others’ workflows.
• Proficient in at least one of the following languages: C++, Python, or Go.

Bonus points

• Experience with robotics middleware (e.g. ROS, or proprietary)
• Experience with Nvidia Jetson platform, e.g. CUDA, TensorRT, etc.
• Experience with Big Data products such as Apache Beam/Spark/Hadoop, GCP BigQuery, AWS Redshift.
• Understanding of sensor calibration/registration and 3D transformations.
