Description

Netflix is one of the world's leading entertainment services, with 283 million paid memberships in over 190 countries enjoying TV series, films and games across a wide variety of genres and languages. Members can play, pause and resume watching as much as they want, anytime, anywhere, and can change their plans at any time.

Machine Learning powers innovation in all areas of the business, including helping members choose the right title for them through personalization, better understanding our audience and our content slate, creating high-quality subtitles, dubbings, images, trailers, and other assets, optimize our payment processing, and much more. The Machine Learning Platform (MLP) organization builds highly scalable and differentiated ML infrastructure to maximize the business impact of all ML practitioners at Netflix, which is the key to accelerating this innovation.

The Opportunity

The Offline Inference team builds and maintains the infrastructure that enables ML practitioners to run their large-scale offline batch inference workflows to generate and store model predictions. We specialize in handling user inferencing submissions that rely on pre-specified static data inputs and machine learning models, packaging them into prediction jobs that can take anywhere from minutes to multiple days to complete, and storing and serving the results.

We are looking for an experienced ML/AI infrastructure engineering leader to lead the development of our next-generation offline inference platform! You will lead this newly formed team to architect, design, develop, test, and launch a brand-new platform to enable ML practitioners across the content, studio, consumer, ads, and games domains to effortlessly package, deploy, and execute inference workflows for thousands of large-scale models, including Large Language Models (LLMs), computer vision and foundation models. The models will come from various lifecycle stages, including early research and experimentation, development, productization, and ongoing innovation and optimization of productized models. 

We are a highly collaborative team. You will be highly cross-functional in partnering with other engineering, product management, machine learning, and data teams to take Netflix’s ML/AI initiatives to the next level. To succeed in this role, you will need a strong ML infrastructure background and a passion for building scalable, robust systems that enable and accelerate our ability to apply large and complex ML models across various domains. 

In this role, you will:

  • Partner with Applied Research and backend application teams to understand their needs and gather and iterate on the platform's requirements. 

  • Drive the architecture, design, build vs. buy evaluation, and execution of the offline inference platform. Strive for extensibility and ensure the platform can scale to meet the needs of the evolving ML/AI landscape.

  • Build a roadmap focused on incremental delivery. Define success metrics, align on migration goals, and drive the platform's adoption. 

  • Communicate progress to stakeholders, customers, and senior leadership. 

  • Maintain existing platform offerings, balancing immediate needs in current systems while prioritizing the development of the next-gen platform. 

  • Hire and grow diverse, highly talented engineers while maintaining and fostering an inclusive team culture.

To succeed in this role, you will need:

  • 10+ years of software engineering experience and 3+ years of management experience. 

  • Experience leading teams responsible for building high-traffic distributed systems and ML infrastructure

  • Experience with containerization and orchestration technologies to support data preparation, processing, and inference for large-scale ML models.

  • A proven understanding of ML frameworks and commercial ML/AI infrastructure, such as PyTorch, SageMaker, Ray Serve, and HuggingFace.

  • Strong technical acumen and can act as a credible technical advisor to the team, set and enforce a high-quality bar for code and system design, and be a mentor for the team.

  • A passion for translating the needs of ML practitioners into infrastructure offerings with an eye toward automated and self-serve capabilities.

  • Strong communication and collaboration skills and ability to build strong relationships with internal customers and external partners. 

  • A demonstrated ability to develop, drive, and execute a technical vision and roadmap.

  • A track record of attracting top talent and leading and growing high-performance, diverse, and highly talented tenured engineers deep into their careers to maximize their impact and deliver results in a fast-paced and dynamic environment.

  • Experience managing a hybrid team with partners and team members distributed across (US) geographies & time zones.

As a student navigating the job market, I've found LinkedIn increasingly frustrating due to numerous fake postings by consultancies. In contrast, this job posting website has been a game-changer for me. It offers genuine opportunities and a straightforward application process, making it much easier to find and apply for real jobs. Highly recommend it to fellow students seeking reliable job listings!

Echo Jobs has been exceptional in my job hunt where it provides one platform to job hunt and I don't have to open 10 websites just to look for a job. It has also helped me focus much on the job skill and the location filtering out the onsite jobs and remote ones. The only feature that I would request is to display fully remote jobs that are not restricted to a country since the one available shows ie, Remote, US yet. But if it could show remote only, that would be helpful not only to me but to other people applying for full remote and not tied to only US candidates

I found EchoJobs in 2022, and I love it. It has a lot of remote jobs. It's exclusive to software and technology jobs (helpful for devs like me). What I like the most are its filters and its API. If you're a tech professional seeking remote work, I highly recommend giving it a try to EchoJobs.

Best wishes with EchoJobs—it's become my favorite job board overnight!

Simply put, it's the most up to date tech jobs aggregator I’ve found. I'm like... "I don't have to check 10+ jobs boards daily just to see if there's a new job listing? sign me up!" The filters are also quite helpful! The UI is very clean and straightforward. Love it!
