We are seeking an ML Solutions Architect who brings broad software engineering expertise along with strong machine learning-adjacent experience. In this role, you will lead the high-level design of systems that integrate ML models into our broader product suite. You will act as a technical consultant, evaluating customer requirements and determining whether they can be addressed with off-the-shelf solutions or should be escalated as specialized research initiatives for our Deep Learning and Reinforcement Learning teams. This role is ideal for a systems-minded engineer who can translate product vision into scalable architecture, while balancing technical feasibility, performance, and maintainability.

Key Responsibilities

• System Integration & Coprocessing: Design and implement the software layers that allow ML models to interact with a real-time rendering engine. This includes managing data pre-processing and post-processing (coprocessing) to ensure high-performance execution.
• Technical Consulting: Evaluate incoming customer requirements to determine the optimal path forward. You will decide if a task can be solved using off-the-shelf tools or if it requires a deep-dive research project to be handed off to our Deep Learning or Reinforcement Learning engineers.
• Language-Agnostic Engineering: Build and maintain wrappers, APIs, and microservices that allow our ML stack to remain flexible and language-agnostic across different production environments.
• Cross-Functional Coordination: Act as a liaison between various teams to ensure seamless integration of ML solutions.
