Job Description
**Overview**
We are seeking a **Senior Machine Learning Engineer** to bridge the gap between advanced Vision-Language Model (VLM) research and high-performance production serving. Unlike standard data science and engineering roles, this position requires a dual competency: you must be capable of designing novel VLM architectures (including dataset curation and multilingual alignment) AND optimizing the inference stack (kernel optimization, distillation, and memory management) to run these models on specific hardware constraints (NVIDIA H100 and AMD MI300x).
The successful candidate will own the entire vertical slice: from reading the latest arXiv papers and improving training sets, to writing the C++/CUDA kernels that serve the final model in production.
**Responsibilities**
