Principal/Senior ML Platform Engineer (Cortex)

We are looking for a Principal MLOps Engineer with a deep focus on ML Platforms and Infrastructure to join our Data & AI group at Cortex Research. Our team is responsible for designing, building, and scaling the foundational MLOps and LLMOps platforms that power both our Data Scientists and Security Researchers. You will architect the high-performance core infrastructure that enables these roles to build, train, and deploy advanced AI systems-ranging from optimized Small Language Models (SLMs) to complex agentic workflows and RAG systems. If you are passionate about building scalable compute platforms and automating the full ML lifecycle to solve complex data and security challenges, we want to hear from you.
Key Responsibilities
Scale Distributed Training: Design and optimize infrastructure for training and fine-tuning LLMs and SLMs, leveraging distributed GPU workloads, efficient clustering, and compute optimization.
Automate the ML Lifecycle: Architect robust, automated pipelines for continuous training (CT) and deployment (CD) of models, ensuring a seamless flow from raw data collection to production environments.
Build Model Infrastructure: Own the serving architecture for LLMs/SLMs, balancing latency, throughput, and GPU utilization under production traffic.
Implement Advanced Monitoring: Establish comprehensive observability systems to monitor live model performance, data drift, and computational metrics, feeding insights back into the automated training loops for continuous improvement.
Collaborative Architecture: Partner closely with data scientists and security researchers to productize complex model architectures and streamline their workflows, while collaborating with our DevOps team to integrate with core cloud infrastructure.
