About the role

As a Research Engineer focused on Model Evaluation & MLOps, you will build the tools and infrastructure needed to evaluate, deploy, and operate multimodal foundation models reliably. You will rapidly enable Sciforium’s models and the latest open-weight models on GPUs, automate quality and performance benchmarking, and improve the MLOps workflows that connect research experiments to reliable releases.

What they're looking for

  • Candidates may be stronger in some areas than others. We are looking for strong software engineering foundations, hands-on ML systems experience, and depth in at least one of model evaluation, MLOps, or model deployment
  • Experience: 2+ years of professional ML or software engineering experience, including work on production ML systems, ML platforms, or MLOps infrastructure
  • Software Engineering: Strong Python and software engineering skills, with experience building reliable production systems
  • Machine Learning Expertise: Hands-on experience with PyTorch, TensorFlow, or JAX and a good understanding of modern language or multimodal model architectures
  • Evaluation & MLOps: Experience with model evaluation or benchmarking and core model lifecycle workflows such as experiment tracking, versioning, deployment, or monitoring
  • GPU Systems: Experience running, benchmarking, and debugging models with one or more GPU inference runtimes, such as vLLM, SGLang, TensorRT-LLM, or equivalent, in containerized cloud or on-premises environments
