San Francisco, California, United States Anyscale Full time

We're seeking a skilled Distributed Systems Architect to join our team at Anyscale. Our mission is to democratize distributed computing and make it accessible to software developers of all skill levels.

As a Distributed Systems Architect, you'll play a key role in building the best place to run Ray, a popular open-source project that's creating an ecosystem of libraries for scalable machine learning. Your expertise will be crucial in developing and maintaining widely adopted open-source machine learning libraries.

We're looking for passionate, motivated engineers who can help shape and execute a vision for the future of ML training infrastructure. You'll work closely with our Distributed Training team, which drives the development and optimization of Ray's distributed training libraries, focusing on features and performance enhancements for large-scale machine learning workloads.

Your responsibilities will include:

  • Designing and implementing scalable, fault-tolerant distributed machine learning libraries that power leading ML platforms

  • Solving complex architectural challenges and transforming them into practical solutions
  • Contributing to and engaging with the open-source community, collaborating with ML researchers, engineers, and data scientists to build new scalable machine learning abstractions

We'd love to hear from you if you have:

  • Minimum 5+ years of experience building, scaling, and maintaining software systems in production environments
  • Strong fundamentals in algorithms, data structures, and system design
  • Proficiency with machine learning frameworks and libraries (e.g., PyTorch, TensorFlow, XGBoost)
  • Experience designing fault-tolerant distributed systems

Bonus points if you have experience with cloud technologies (AWS, GCP, Kubernetes), hands-on experience building ML training platforms in production, background in managing and maintaining open-source libraries, experience leading small teams to achieve ambitious technical goals, or familiarity with Ray.

We offer a competitive salary, estimated around $170,112 ~ $237,000 based on industry standards and location. Additionally, we provide a comprehensive benefits package, including stock options, healthcare plans, 401k Retirement Plan, wellness stipend, education stipend, paid parental leave, fertility benefits, flexible time off, commute reimbursement, and 100% of in-office meals covered.
