The role
You will build and scale the backbone of a video intelligence platform. This includes developing GPU inference pipelines, cloud ingestion infrastructure, and developer SDKs.
What you will do
- Architect pipelines to run multi-GPU inference jobs on foundation-scale video models.
- Build direct integrations with AWS S3, GCP Storage, and Azure Blobs for large-scale ingest.
- Design event-driven, autoscaling job systems using Kubernetes, Pub/Sub, or Ray.
- Power the NomadicML Python SDK for video ingestion, analysis, and search.
- Build logging, tracing, and metrics pipelines for GPU utilization and job latency.
- Support web app Cloud Integrations and Project Workflows through backend endpoints and TypeScript SDK bindings.
Required qualifications
- Deep proficiency in Python, Go, or TypeScript for backend systems.
- Experience with AWS, GCP, or Azure (IAM, S3/Blob Storage, Batch/Compute APIs, etc.).
- Strong understanding of GPU inference scaling, Kubernetes, container orchestration, and event-driven pipelines.
- Prior experience designing REST/gRPC APIs, SDKs, or developer-facing infrastructure.
- Familiarity with asynchronous job orchestration (Ray, Airflow, Dagster, Temporal).
Nice to have
- Experience contributing to inference orchestration frameworks or ML infra tools (e.g., DeepSpeed, Triton, Ray Serve).
- Understanding of video encoding, chunking, and streaming formats for efficient multi-modal ingestion.
- Basic front-end experience (React / Next.js) for integrating backend pipelines into product workflows.
- Background in ML infrastructure, observability, or data management systems.
