This is one of the most important roles in the company. As our DL strategies become an increasingly central driver of the business each year, the team you will lead will scale its impact across all major markets and asset classes - by enabling our researchers to iterate faster and bring their ideas to production reliably.\nWhile the DL Research Group Lead drives the research agenda, you will own the platform side: the training framework, dataset pipelines, compute efficiency, and release tooling that turn research prototypes into production-grade ML models.\nResponsibilities\nDrive the development of our internal ML platform - training framework, dataset and data pipelines, orchestration, experiment tracking and reproducibility tooling, GPU/compute infrastructure, and release tooling - that powers our DL strategies across all markets;\nOwn end-to-end performance of large-scale model training: GPU cluster utilization, MFU, training time, reliability, and reproducibility of models from master;\nShape the technical agenda of the team: identify bottlenecks, prioritize improvements, and deliver measurable infrastructure wins (e.g., a 10% training speedup on our cluster translates into millions of euros of compute value);\nLead engineers across diverse profiles: hire, motivate, develop, and retain talent, including ML performance engineers, Python infrastructure engineers, and tool builders;\nMake the platform fast, transparent, and value-driven for researchers - shorten iteration cycles and remove infra friction from research workflows;\nDirectly code and contribute to the ML platform, not just supervise;\nPartner closely with DL researchers on the Research/Infra interface - code review for shared training and dataset code, debugging non-reproducible models, observability of data and model quality, and release readiness;\nRequirements\nA motivated, versatile ML/infra engineer with experience in technical leadership of teams that build platforms for ML researchers;\nStrong background in at least one of: large-scale ML training systems, GPU performance engineering (PyTorch, Triton, CUDA), distributed training, data and ML pipeline infrastructure (storage formats, orchestration, experiment tracking, configuration);\nHands-on experience accelerating ML research in production or large-scale research settings - reducing training time, improving hardware utilization, or shortening feedback cycles for researchers (e.g., faster data access, better experiment tooling, more reliable pipelines);\nStrong sense of ownership: comfortable taking responsibility for code quality, reproducibility, and observability across a large shared ML codebase - not just reactive fixes, but proactive bug hunting, tech-debt reduction, and rigorous code review;\nA leader who can sustain a strong pace while fostering a healthy, supportive team culture, and who can give clear, growth-oriented feedback;\nAbility to work effectively at the DL/Infra boundary - engaging with research priorities and translating them into infrastructure work that compounds over time;\nWhile prior trading experience can be useful, it's not a prerequisite. Our priority is a first-principles mindset and a willingness to rethink how things are done in quantitative ML infrastructure.\nWhat we offer\nA dynamic and international environment within a fast-growing tech company; \nSalary at the upper end of the market, along with significant bonuses twice a year; \nFreedom to shape internal culture and create meaningful employee experiences, team-building activities; \nHealth insurance, reimbursement of sports expenses; \nСoverage for language courses; \nA supportive, experienced team that values collaboration - and where your impact will be visible every day.","description_format":"text","description_chars":3857,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Health insurance"],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Online Brokerage & Trading Platforms"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-11T21:41:38Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":9,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.316,"p_room":0.28,"age_days":82,"expected_fill_days":23,"reasons":["conf:1","stale_co","win:tail","crowd:"],"computed_at":"2026-10-12T06:55:09Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/pinely-group-lead-ml-infrastructure","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/pinely-group-lead-ml-infrastructure.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-12T16:06:32Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":25688,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-13T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":686734},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=686734"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fpinely-group-lead-ml-infrastructure"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fpinely-group-lead-ml-infrastructure"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fpinely-group-lead-ml-infrastructure"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/pinely-group-lead-ml-infrastructure\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fpinely-group-lead-ml-infrastructure"}]}
