Software Developer 4

About the role

In this role you will lead the design and development team to build advanced AI applications powered by AI models. You will use AI/ML to automate, optimize, and secure networks, focusing on tasks like self-provisioning, auto-ingesting, auto-qualifying systems, and self-healing networks.

Responsibilities

• Design and implement scalable orchestration for serving and training AI/ML models.
• Explore and incorporate contemporary research on AI, agents, and inference systems into the software stack for designing, monitoring, troubleshooting, and deploying networks.
• Evaluate, integrate, and optimize technologies across the stack for latency, throughput, and resource utilization for training and inference workloads.
• Lead initiatives in AI systems design, including Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) and LLM fine-tuning.
• Design and develop scalable services and tools to support GPU-accelerated AI pipelines, Python/Go, and observability frameworks.
• Work collaboratively with cross-functional teams to drive the development and deployment of AI solutions.
• Write design docs, scope features, and own delivery end-to-end.

Strong problem-solving skills, attention to detail, and excellent communication skills are essential for this role.
