As a senior software engineer on the team you will design and develop the next generation of machine learning products at Wish.  We are bridging the human-machine gap in ML, enabling humans to understand, debug, and fine-tune models, all the while deploying and managing these models at high scales. You will participate in architecting and building distributed microservices at scale for applications to consume. The micro-services built in the team need to handle many teams’ needs with strong scalability, reliability and performance requirements. You are expected to achieve this goal by working closely with both application engineers, data scientists as well as other infrastructure engineers.  We are a highly impactful, cross-functional team that loves solving problems at scale!

What you'll be doing:

• Design and implement backend infrastructure to perform scalable training, evaluation, and inference in the cloud

• Design and implement best practices for model management and deployment

• Create products around models that make it easy for the customer to use and understand machine learning models and approaches.

• Work with both internal and external developers / data scientists to bring models into Wish that are then used by customers to solve use cases.

• Design the scalable, reliable, and performant services that meet the requirements, considering the growth needs for scalability and performance in the future when designing the systems

• Develop distributed services and libraries using Golang, Python, React and AWS platform
