OctoML is an energetic new company changing how developers optimize and deploy machine learning models for their AI needs. We're a team of machine learning systems leaders focused on making machine learning (ML) more efficient and easier to deploy by... applying machine learning to it!OctoML was founded by the creators of Apache TVM, a popular open-source compiler that transforms ML models into highly-efficient binary code optimized for the specific hardware and model architecture. We are building the Octomizer, a cloud-based "TVM as a Service" product that enables developers to optimize and package their ML models through a modern web app as well as a rich API surface.We dream big but execute with focus and believe in creativity, productivity and a balanced life. We value diversity in all dimensions. OctoML is looking for an Engineering Director to lead and grow our Cloud Engineering teams!Job descriptionAs Director for Cloud Engineering, you will lead engineering teams that build our cloud-based products. You will define the vision and technical strategy for the Cloud team, identify new opportunities, and drive collaborations to improve the capabilities, efficiency, and reach of our Cloud products.Our current cloud SaaS product, the Octomizer, is a complex service consisting of multiple microservices running across multiple cloud vendors, allowing users to optimize, benchmark, and package Machine Learning models for a range of hardware targets and operating systems: CPUs, GPUs, edge and mobile devices, and more. The Octomizer itself runs on Kubernetes and is implemented primarily in Rust, Python, and C++. It provides a rich API surface and a web UI for end users, and is integrated with external services for storage, database, authentication, and monitoring. The Octomizer hosts a number of Machine Learning software stacks, including TVM and ONNX Runtime to power benchmarks and model optimization. The Octomizer also consists of an on-prem device cloud, built in-house at OctoML, which provides a range of server- and edge-class devices for model performance measurement.You will drive the technical strategy for the Octomizer product as a whole, as well as new cloud-based SaaS products we plan to develop in the next few years. You will lead two existing engineering teams which will likely double in size over the next 12-18 months.
