This individual will play a key role in building features that aid in the expansion of GitLab’s core personas (https://handbook.gitlab.com/handbook/product/personas/#list-of-user-personas) to address the needs of data science teams and will work cross-functionally with other GitLab stages (https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/product/categories/#devops-stages) to ensure our platform supports ML/AI workloads that align with our ModelOps product direction (https://about.gitlab.com/direction/modelops/) . This individual will be responsible for enhancing existing product features used by millions of users across the world.

Your role will be to build, scale, and iterate on ML features that help operationalize customers’ ML ( Both AI and Gen AI solutions ) and aid in dropping the costs of Machine Learning. You will balance short and long-term efforts from a feature perspective and work on backend machine learning enterprise feature challenges. With the team, you will be building the backbone of our ML efforts that solve the challenges of today and tomorrow for our customers building in the journey of ML.

Some examples:

• MLOps features in GitLab DevSecops Platform (https://learn.gitlab.com/mlops/mlops-tech-demo)

• GitLab Model Registry (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tU-iu02pYXo)

What you will do

• Play a key role in the design, implementation, building and integration of product features;

• Solve technical backend machine learning problems of high scope and complexity;

• Production experience with Terraform, Kubernetes, Docker, and preferably GCP or equivalent technologies.

• Experience with inference backend and post-production monitoring of large language models ( >10GB)

• High interest in defining experimentation and agent architecture for large-scale ML recommendation engines

• A genuine passion for learning as you will be solving the challenges of today, tomorrow, and many years to come.

About the team

Today, data scientists piece together data, tooling, and frameworks to get bespoke data science workloads running and producing business value. Data scientists then hand off models to engineering teams to attempt to deploy them to production. These teams speak different languages, use different tools, and have completely different workflows. This makes it very difficult to deploy data science workloads to production, increasing time to value and costs. One of our primary goals for our ModelOps stage is to reduce the complexities of data science workloads and integrate these workloads to easily be managed and developed within GitLab.
