We're commercializing Ray, a popular open-source project that's creating an ecosystem of libraries for scalable machine learning. Companies like OpenAI, Uber, Spotify, Instacart, Cruise, and many more, have Ray in their tech stacks to accelerate the progress of AI applications out into the real world.\nWith Anyscale, we're building the best place to run Ray, so that any developer or data scientist can scale an ML application from their laptop to the cluster without needing to be a distributed systems expert.\nProud to be backed by Andreessen Horowitz, NEA, and Addition with $250+ million raised to date.\nAbout the role\nAnyscale is looking for a Software Engineer to join the ML Developer Experience (MLDevX) team. MLDevX owns the experience layer of the Anyscale platform: the interfaces through which users and coding agents discover, configure, run, observe, debug, and productionize AI workloads. Every user journey crosses this layer through the CLI, SDKs, APIs, UI, Workspaces, MCP, or the workflows and integrations built on top of them. Together, these form the user’s primary interface into Anyscale, turning distributed computing from a systems problem back into a coding problem. We build the common contracts, tools, control-plane services, and architecture that power these surfaces.\nYou will work across the stack from developer tooling to cloud infrastructure and the Ray runtime. Manage long-running operations and make failures across jobs, tasks, actors, nodes, and GPUs easier to diagnose. The systems you build must scale with the platform, remain predictable through failures, and be intuitive for developers, programmable for applications, and operable by coding agents.\nThis is a high impact individual-contributor role with end-to-end ownership. You will work directly with users and field teams to identify high leverage problems, shape the product and technical design, and build and operate the solution. The scope spans the AI workload loop - data preparation, fine-tuning and post-training, serving, evaluation, and iteration as well as the developer loop: code, submit, monitor, debug, optimize, and re-submit. We are looking for someone with strong product judgment, a willingness to understand the user base, and the technical depth to build high quality software for everyone from a developer learning Ray for the first time to an AI-native company or enterprise running production workloads at scale.\nA snapshot of projects you may work on\nBuild the next generation of developer tooling and MLOps capabilities on Ray, designed for both developers and coding agents.\n\nDevelop an agent-first CLI and cohesive SDK, API, and MCP surfaces with self-discovery, structured errors, dry-run support, and consistent behavior across platform resources.\n\nWork across the Anyscale Workspaces stack to improve the path from local code to distributed execution, including environments, dependencies, images, authentication, workload submission, and debugging.\n\nBuild cohesive experience, tools and frameworks for the AI development lifecycle, including data preparation, fine-tuning and post-training, evaluation, production serving, dataset management, experiment tracking, and lineage.\n\nBuild the path from a trained model to a reliable production endpoint, including model registration, deployment workflows, performance benchmarking, and LLM-specific service metrics.\n\nSurface observability across the CLI, SDK, UI, and agent-facing interfaces so users can diagnose failures across jobs, tasks, actors, nodes, and GPUs.\n\nDesign open integrations using durable standards such as OpenAI-compatible APIs and OpenTelemetry, along with stable Jobs and Services interfaces for external orchestrators.\n\nDesign and operate the highly available backend services and platform architecture that power these capabilities across serverless and bring-your-own-cloud environments.\n\nWork closely with users and field teams to scope, ship, and iterate on the product, and collaborate with distributed systems and machine learning experts to push the boundaries of AI infrastructure.\n\nWe'd love to hear from you if you have\nBachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent practical experience\n\n5+ years of experience writing high-quality production code\n\nA solid background in algorithms, data structures, and system design\n\nExperience working with modern machine learning tooling - PyTorch, MLflow, data catalogs, and similar\n\nHands-on experience building and operating highly available services in production\n\nStrong product instincts and a track record of shipping developer-facing tools that people choose to use\n\nBonus points if you have\nExperience building and maintaining open-source projects\n\nExperience building and operating machine learning infrastructure in production\n\nExperience building highly available serving systems\n\nExperience using Ray\n\nAnyscale Inc. is an Equal Opportunity Employer.
