You will also partner directly with applied scientists and backend engineers to take experimental ML models into reliable production environments.

What You Will Own & Build

• ML Inference Platform: Build and scale systems running recommendation inference, vector search, feature store queries, and real-time data updates.
• Evaluation Harness: Develop automated offline and online evaluation frameworks, regression tests, and latency/cost tracking tools to evaluate model releases.
• Rapid Prototyping: Rapidly prototype and test new engineering ideas for the Glance AI shopping agent, turning promising concepts into scalable platform components.
• System Performance: Optimize throughput and reduce serving latency across CPU and GPU clusters for high-volume ML workloads.

What We Are Looking For

• Engineering Foundations: Strong coding skills in Python or Java, with solid background in distributed systems.
• ML Serving & Tools: Hands-on experience with model serving tools (Triton, vLLM, TorchServe), vector databases (Qdrant, Faiss), feature stores & databases.
• Evaluation Systems: Experience building testing pipelines, regression suites, or shadow deployment setups for ML services.
• Execution & Ownership: Comfortable navigating technical ambiguity, moving quickly, and shipping code in fast-paced teams.

You might thrive in this role if you have:

• BTech or MTech in Computer Science, Machine Learning, or a related technical field.
• 3+ years of software engineering experience, with 2+ years focused on ML infrastructure, model serving, or recommendation systems.
• Hands-on experience deploying recommendation pipelines, vector search, or feature stores to production.
• Proficiency in Python, system profiling, and query performance tuning.
• Experience setting up model monitoring and maintaining high-throughput production ML systems.
• Ability to collaborate closely with Applied Science teams to turn models into production services.
• Self-directed, curious, and comfortable building solutions from 0→1.
