Senior AI Software Engineer - Model Training

Aleph Alpha · Heidelberg, BW, DE

Actively hiring Posted 7 days ago

Role overview

  • Co-own the training pipeline end-to-end. Design, build, and maintain the infrastructure and components that let us iterate fast on experiments.
  • Build high-quality tooling. Model training is a continuous effort, and we deliberately invest in our tooling and infrastructure to stay successful long term.
  • Collaborate across disciplines. We believe in cross-functional teams. Engineers and researchers work closely so we can learn from each other and iterate faster together.
  • Champion good engineering practices. Working incrementally, maintaining fast feedback loops, and refactoring continuously keep a team successful long-term, especially when moving fast.
  • Shape the direction of the team. Our culture empowers individuals to take ownership. If you see that we'll need more GPUs, a different storage system, or a change to how the team is set up, you should drive this change.

Basic qualifications

  • A track record of taking initiative to deliver high-impact work.
  • Experience contributing in high-performing teams.

  • Ability to write software that other strong engineers want to read and build on.
  • Desire to take ownership of problems and collaborate with other teams to solve them.
  • Deep interest in how state-of-the-art foundation models work.
  • Strong communication skills, with the ability to convey technical solutions to diverse audiences.
  • Experience working with distributed systems.
  • Experience working with Kubernetes.
  • Experience bringing AI research innovations into production.
  • Experience in areas such as large-scale data processing or distributed computation for foundation model training or inference.
  • Experience with performance engineering: profiling, benchmarking, and optimizing code for throughput, latency, or memory.
