The AI team is building cutting-edge Local Inference solutions that bring the power of AI directly to edge devices while seamlessly integrating with cloud infrastructure. Our goal is to enable low-latency, private, and cost-efficient AI inference across a wide range of connected devices, from wearables to IoT and smart assistants.
As the Senior AI Software Engineering Manager, you will design and optimize distributed AI systems that balance on-device inference with cloud-based processing. You'll integrate third-party AI models and frameworks, optimize machine learning pipelines for edge and cloud environments, and develop scalable, privacy-first AI solutions.
What You Might Do- Develop and optimize edge inference pipelines to run AI models efficiently on resource-constrained devices while integrating with cloud services.
- Design and implement hybrid cloud-edge AI architectures that balance local inference with cloud scalability.
- Integrate third-party machine learning APIs, while also training and optimizing open source models for real-time AI applications.
- Build distributed systems and networked AI devices, ensuring seamless connectivity and interoperability between edge and cloud environments.
- Evaluate on-device AI accelerators and emerging hardware solutions to maximize performance, security, and efficiency.
- Drive new features from prototype to production, collaborating closely with AI researchers, infrastructure engineers, and designers.
- Work on privacy-first AI architectures, ensuring data security and compliance in localized AI deployments.
- Develop robust testing and validation pipelines for non-deterministic AI systems, including LLMs and real-time inference models.
- Drive hiring, mentoring, and career development for a multi-talented AI team.
- Foster a strong engineering culture focused on technical rigor, product impact, and fast iteration.
- 10+ years of hands-on software development experience, including recent expertise in distributed systems, networked devices, or embedded AI.
- 3+ years of engineering management experience.
- Strong background in machine learning model deployment, including LLMs, computer vision, or speech models.
- Experience integrating AI models on edge devices, IoT platforms, or hybrid cloud-edge systems.
- Ability to quickly adapt to new AI advancements and apply them to scalable real-world applications.
- Fast-paced, iterative approach to AI development and deployment.
- 5+ years of experience with Java or C++.
- Expertise in on-device ML optimization techniques (e.g., quantization, pruning, distillation).
- Strong understanding of low-latency computing, edge inference, and privacy-preserving AI.
- Knowledge of cloud-edge hybrid architectures, including distributed AI model serving and orchestration.
- Experience developing or working with open-source ML frameworks.
- Experience building intelligent user experiences powered by LLMs, conversational agents, or multi-modal interactions.
