About Anyscale:
At Anyscale, we're on a mission to democratize distributed computing and make it accessible to software developers of all skill levels. We’re commercializing Ray, a popular open-source project that's creating an ecosystem of libraries for scalable machine learning. Companies like OpenAI, Uber, Spotify, Instacart, Cruise, and many more, have Ray in their tech stacks to accelerate the progress of AI applications out into the real world.
With Anyscale, we’re building the best place to run Ray, so that any developer or data scientist can scale an ML application from their laptop to the cluster without needing to be a distributed systems expert.
Proud to be backed by Andreessen Horowitz, NEA, and Addition with $250+ million raised to date.
Anyscale is seeking a Staff Software Engineer to lead the technical vision for our Infrastructure team. As a Staff Engineer, you will be responsible for the architectural evolution of our control plane and data plane, ensuring that our "infinite laptop" vision scales to meet the most demanding distributed AI workloads in the world. You will act as a force multiplier, setting the standards for Kubernetes-based cloud-native infrastructure while mentoring engineers and driving cross-functional alignment across the Ray open-source community and our proprietary product teams.
Architectural Leadership: Define and drive the multi-year technical roadmap for services that orchestrate Ray clusters across diverse cloud and on-premises environments.
Systemic Optimization: Lead the design and optimization of high-performance control plane components specifically tailored for large-scale, heterogeneous AI/ML workloads.
Platform Reliability: Establish the organization-wide standards for the reliability, scalability, and observability of Anyscale-managed infrastructure.
Strategic Integration: Direct the long-term strategy for accelerator integration (GPUs, TPUs) and container management to ensure seamless execution of distributed workloads.
Technical Governance: Lead complex design and architecture discussions, resolving deep technical debt and ensuring engineering excellence across the organization.
Cross-Functional Influence: Partner with ML experts and customer-facing teams to translate market needs into robust infrastructure foundations.
Experience: 5+ years of experience writing high-quality production code and leading complex distributed systems projects.
Architectural Depth: Proven track record of designing and maintaining highly available, scalable, and secure cloud-native platforms (AWS, Azure, or GCP).
Kubernetes Mastery: Deep expertise in Kubernetes-based deployments and container orchestration at massive scale.
System Foundations: Advanced knowledge of Linux kernel, networking, and low-level operating system foundations.
Technical Proficiency: Mastery of Go and Python, with the ability to set coding standards and best practices for the team.
Leadership Skills: Demonstrated ability to mentor senior engineers, influence technical direction without direct authority, and navigate complex trade-offs in a fast-paced environment.
