  • Knowledge of containerization tools like Dockerfile and orchestration tools like Kubeflow, crucial for deploying models at scale.

  • Understanding of distributed training techniques and how to scale models across multiple GPUs or machines, aligning with video generation needs.

  • Proficiency in scripting languages like Python or Bash for automation tasks, facilitating infrastructure management.

  • Strong problem-solving and communication skills, given the need to collaborate with diverse teams.

This role is vital for ensuring the computational backbone supports the company’s ML efforts, focusing on deployment and scalability.
