Sr Software Engineer - ML Infrastructure

Remote / Hybrid

Company Overview:

Let’s be real—AI isn’t magic; it’s a tool, and it’s only as powerful as the systems, workflows, and most importantly the people powering it. Yurts is unlocking all of that unstructured, hard-to-find, disconnected data and turning it into a secure knowledge management platform that’s actually designed to serve people—wherever they work.

Born from a partnership with the Department of Defense to meet the demands of mission-critical environments, Yurts is redefining how teams harness AI for productivity and performance. Named after the resilient, adaptable yurt, our platform is designed to work with the systems you use—not replace them.

In collaboration with Nvidia, HPE, and Oracle we offer secure, innovative solutions, including air-gapped deployments for defense, a full ML ops analytics framework to drive cost efficiencies and a world-class proprietary RAG system serving answers you can trust. Yurts unifies applications, data, and workflows protecting investments and saving customers money. 

Join us to shape the future of AI, creating solutions that elevate both technology and the people who use it.

Responsibilities:

  • Design, deploy, and maintain robust ML infrastructures using Kubernetes and containerization technologies to enable seamless and scalable deployment of machine learning models.
  • Utilize your deep knowledge of CUDA and GPU-accelerated computing to optimize ML inference, delivering high-performance and low-latency models for demanding applications.
  • Champion DevOps practices and streamline CI/CD pipelines to enhance the software development lifecycle and increase deployment efficiency.
  • Lead efforts to develop and implement model scheduling and autoscaling strategies, dynamically allocating resources based on real-time inference demands to ensure optimal resource utilization.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams, taking an active role in architectural discussions and hands-on development to drive innovation and push the boundaries of ML infrastructures.

Requirements:

  • 5+ years of relevant experience in ML infrastructure development.
  • 1+ years of professional development experience with Rust
  • Proven track record of extensive experience with Kubernetes and containerization technologies, demonstrating a strong ability to deploy and manage distributed systems at scale.
  • Hands-on experience in optimizing ML inference using CUDA and GPU-accelerated computing, achieving significant performance gains for complex ML models.
  • Deep understanding of DevOps practices and experience implementing CI/CD pipelines, ensuring a smooth and efficient development and deployment process.
  • Demonstrated expertise in model scheduling and autoscaling techniques, allowing dynamic resource allocation to meet varying inference workloads.
  • Strong architectural and software development skills, with a passion for crafting elegant and efficient solutions that push the boundaries of ML infrastructure capabilities.

 

Preferred Qualifications (not mandatory):

  • Experience in deploying and managing machine learning models in cloud environments such as AWS, GCP, or Azure.
  • Knowledge of machine learning frameworks such as TensorFlow, PyTorch, or ONNX, and their integration with inference engines

Race & Ethnicity Definitions

If you believe you belong to any of the categories of protected veterans listed below, please indicate by making the appropriate selection. As a government contractor subject to the Vietnam Era Veterans Readjustment Assistance Act (VEVRAA), we request this information in order to measure the effectiveness of the outreach and positive recruitment efforts we undertake pursuant to VEVRAA. Classification of protected categories is as follows:

A "disabled veteran" is one of the following: a veteran of the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service who is entitled to compensation (or who but for the receipt of military retired pay would be entitled to compensation) under laws administered by the Secretary of Veterans Affairs; or a person who was discharged or released from active duty because of a service-connected disability.

A "recently separated veteran" means any veteran during the three-year period beginning on the date of such veteran's discharge or release from active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval, or air service.

An "active duty wartime or campaign badge veteran" means a veteran who served on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service during a war, or in a campaign or expedition for which a campaign badge has been authorized under the laws administered by the Department of Defense.

An "Armed forces service medal veteran" means a veteran who, while serving on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service, participated in a United States military operation for which an Armed Forces service medal was awarded pursuant to Executive Order 12985.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
