  • Develop services on top of open source technologies like Kubernetes, Tensorflow, and PyTorch

  • Own business-critical infrastructure, help resolve production issues, and participate in the team-wide oncall rotation

  • Collaborate with ML engineers who use the platform, and help them be more impactful

Minimum Requirements:

  • Ability to be available for meetings and impromptu communication during Quora's “coordination hours" (Mon-Fri: 9am-3pm Pacific Time)

  • Experience with building and owning end-to-end machine learning or data science-related systems

  • 2+ years of industry experience in Machine Learning, Infrastructure or related fields

  • 2+ years of experience writing production code in Python, C++, or similar language

  • BS or MS in Computer Science, Engineering or a related technical field

Preferred Requirements:

  • Strong communication and inter-personal skills, experience working with ML teams is a plus
