Job Description

Software Engineer - Machine Learning Platform - Cortex

San Francisco, CA

Who we Are:

Cortex empowers internal teams to efficiently leverage ML by providing a platform and by unifying, educating, and advancing the state of the art in ML technologies within Twitter.

We win when our customers win by helping our users stay informed, share and discuss what matters; by serving the public conversation. We're building an AI-first company and every major initiative is increasingly dependent on the successful application of machine learning. Cortex is at the nexus of this evolution.

Our team of ML software engineers is constructing one of the strongest machine learning platforms in the world, based on the latest ML industry practices, deep learning, engineering excellence, powered by Twitter data at scale.

Twitter operates some of the highest traffic Deep Learning systems in the industry. Training algorithms routinely process terabytes of data; prediction services make millions of inferences per second. Twitter's real time nature demands latencies in the double digit millisecond range. We provide frameworks and tools for model-building, distributed training, prediction and evaluation systems that meet such stringent demands. We leverage open source solutions like tensorflow and extend them for our business needs. This is a challenging and exciting area, with a unique opportunity to create advanced technologies in uncharted territories while having a large impact.

Current projects include:

* Deepbird, with Tensorflow at the core https://blog.twitter.com/engineering/en_us/topics/insights/2018/twittertensorflow.html

* Framework for large scale distributed and online training of deep learning models
* Inference engine for serving 10s of millions of prediction requests
* Framework to analyze trained models
* Performance optimization of model training and serving pipelines using low level software and hardware primitives
* Custom extensions to Tensorflow e.g Implement recent research techniques to reduce training times

What You'll Do:

If this sounds like a team you want to be part of, great! We are looking for engineers who love writing code, have a desire to learn new technologies, thrive on teamwork and are committed to serving their customers.

Come join us in building a deeplearning framework for twitter's real time needs
