This role requires hands-on ML experience and deep understanding of modern architectures, inference optimization, and responsible

AI.

#AIC

As a Machine Learning Senior Software Engineer, you will be responsible for:

Developing and maintaining model validation and security scanning pipelines that assess models for quality, correctness, and vulnerabilities prior to deployment
Implementing quantization, pruning, and other optimization techniques to reduce model footprint and improve inference latency across diverse hardwareconfigurations
