We also contribute to open source projects under the Kubeflow umbrella including KFServing.
About the role Design and build scalable machine learning solutions on top of the open source and enterprise Seldon products. Working on bring the Explainable AI and ML Monitoring available in the Alibi projects into the enterprise products for general use.
Essential skills A degree or higher level academic background in a scientific or engineering subject. Familiarity with linux based development. At least 2 years of experience in industry or academia showing completed projects.
Core skills (The role will be focused on these skills so we would expect existing experience or a demonstrable desire to learn these) Experience with GoLang and Python Experience with Kubernetes and the ecosystem of Cloud Native tools. Experience using machine learning tools in production. Bonus skills (Any of these will be of great interest to us) A broad understanding of data science and machine learning. Understanding of explainable AI or machine learning monitoring in production Familiarity with Kubeflow, MLFlow or Sagemaker Familiarity with python tools for data science
About our tech stack Some of our high profile technical projects: We are core authors and maintainers of Seldon Core, the most popular Open Source model serving solution in the Cloud Native (Kubernetes) ecosystem We built and maintain the black box model explainability tool Alibi We are co-founders of the KFServing project, and collaborate with Microsoft, Google, IBM, etc on extending the project We are core contributors of the Kubeflow project and meet on several workstreams with Google, Microsoft, RedHat, etc on a weekly basis We are part of the SIG-MLOps Kubernetes open source working group, where we contribute through examples and prototypes around ML serving We run the largest Tensorflow meetup in London And much more 🚀
Some of the technologies we use in our day-to-day: Go is our primary language for all-things backend infrastructure including our Kubernetes Operator, and our new GoLang Microservice Orchestrator) Python is our primary language for machine learning, and powers our most popular Seldon Core Microservices wrapper, as well as our Explainability Toolbox Alibi We leverage the Elastic Stack to provide full data provenance on inputs and outputs for thousands of models in production clusters Metrics from our models collected using Prometheus, with custom Grafana integrations for visualisation and monitoring Our primary service mesh backend leverages the Envoy Proxy, fully integrated with Istio, but also with an option for Ambassador We leverage gRPC protobufs to standardise our schemas and reach unprecedented processing speeds through complex inference graphs We use React.js for our all our enterprise user products and interfaces Kubernetes and Docker to schedule and run all of our core cloud native technology stack
