About the Role

SandboxAQ is seeking a Staff MLOps engineer to mature our MLOps practices by building out infrastructure and application code, as well as embedding with R&D teams to champion adoption of your tools and gather feedback to improve them.

  • In collaboration with the rest of the engineering team, build and manage infrastructure for SandboxAQ’s simulation and data platform.
  • Review code and participate in design and architectural discussions.
About You
  • 7+ years of experience with MLOps fundamentals:
    • Automated training, evaluation, and retraining loops
    • Dataset and model versioning tools, Weights & Biases preferred
    • Systems for serving inference
    • Build end-to-end ML pipeline using industry-standard tools.

  • Familiarity with building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines for ML systems.
  • 3+ years of experience with Python, with strong knowledge of software design principles.
  • Familiarity with building data pipelines or data processing systems at scale, including orchestration tools like Airflow.
  • Excellent communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to effectively influence a cross-functional team.
Nice to have
  • Domain experience in advanced materials, drug discovery, cheminformatics, or other areas of chemistry or biology, especially experience with AI systems applied to these domains.
  • Experience with AI applications in knowledge graphs.
  • Experience profiling and optimizing GPU usage in MLOps applications.
