o Graph Neural Networks (GNNs), Graph Transformers, and Relational Transformers
o Self-supervised, contrastive, and related pretraining strategies for structured data
· Translate research innovations into robust, production-ready systems.
Scalable Systems & Infrastructure
· Build and operate distributed training and inference pipelines with solid software design & architecture strategy.
· Optimize compute efficiency (GPU/CPU utilization), memory footprint, training throughput, and inference latency.
· Apply or evaluate techniques such as pruning, quantization, architecture search, and model compilation as needed.
· Partner with platform teams to ensure smooth deployment, monitoring, and reliability in production.
Collaboration & Mentorship
· Mentor ML engineers and applied scientists; raise the team’s technical bar through guidance and review.
· Collaborate closely with research, data, and product stakeholders to drive delivery and impact.
Required Qualifications

o PyTorch Geometric and/or Deep Graph Library (DGL)
· Experience of designing and developing distributed systems and scalable ML infrastructure.
· Advanced Python proficiency and strong software engineering fundamentals.
· Demonstrated ownership of complex ML projects from design through production. · Experience scaling ML systems in cloud environments (e.g., Azure, AWS).
Preferred Qualifications
· Experience building foundation models for structured, relational, or graph data.
· Familiarity with transformer architectures tailored to graph and tabular domains.
· Experience with distributed training frameworks (e.g., FSDP, DeepSpeed, Ray).
· Deep expertise in:
o Graph representation learning
o Structured / relational modeling
o Large-scale training systems
· Publications in top-tier ML venues (e.g., NeurIPS, ICML, ICLR, KDD).
What We’re Looking For
· A systems-minded scientist who bridges research depth with engineering rigor.
· A strong architectural thinker who can design scalable solutions with long-term maintainability.
· A leader who mentors others and elevates engineering and research standards.
· Passion for advancing structured-data AI and building platforms that deliver real-world impact.
