Job description

About Pathway
Pathway is shaking the foundations of artificial intelligence by introducing the world's first post-transformer model that adapts and thinks just like humans.
Pathway's breakthrough architecture (BDH) outperforms Transformer and provides the enterprise with full visibility into how the model works. Combining the foundational model with the fastest data processing engine on the market, Pathway enables enterprises to move beyond incremental optimization and toward truly contextualized, experience-driven intelligence. The company is trusted by organizations such as NATO, La Poste, and Formula 1 racing teams.
Pathway is led by co-founder & CEO Zuzanna Stamirowska, a complexity scientist who created a team consisting of AI pioneers, including CTO Jan Chorowski who was the first person to apply Attention to speech and worked with Nobel laureate Goeff Hinton at Google Brain, as well as CSO Adrian Kosowski, a leading computer scientist and quantum physicist who obtained his PhD at the age of 20.
The company is backed by leading investors and advisors, including TQ Ventures and Lukasz Kaiser, co-author of the Transformer ("the T" in ChatGPT) and a key researcher behind OpenAI's reasoning models. Pathway is headquartered in Palo Alto, California.
The opportunity
We are currently searching for a Machine Learning DevOps with experience in cloud and compute cluster management, scaling infrastructures, and Linux administration.

  • Work with terabyte-large datasets.
  • Implement ML-centric CI/CD practices.
  • Monitor model performance and data drift in production.
  • Collaborate with machine learning engineers, software engineers, and platform teams.

The role focuses on operationalizing machine learning models, ensuring scalability, reliability, and automation across the ML lifecycle.
Requirements
What We Are Looking For
  • Very good familiarity with Linux, shell scripts, and cluster configuration scripts as the basic work tool.

  • Cloud infrastructure knowledge (AWS, GCP, Azure) - especially in ML services (e.g., SageMaker Hyperpod, Vertex AI).
  • Familiarity with monitoring/logging tools (Grafana, CloudWatch, Prometheus, Loki).
  • Experience with infrastructure as code (Terraform, CloudFormation, cluster-toolkit).
  • Experience with ML pipeline orchestration tools (e.g., MLflow, Kubeflow, Airflow, Metaflow).
  • Programming skills in Python (with exposure to ML libraries like TensorFlow, PyTorch).
  • Experience with cluster, systems, and networks administration.
  • Willingness to learn.

This position holds a minimum requirement of a BSc in Computer Science or Information Technology.
We will generally favor candidates who have undertaken ambitious efforts in the past. For example, if you have made an accepted contribution to the Linux kernel, won an important bug bounty, supported an academic grid/cluster computing team in a scaling effort, or even won a sports championship, make sure to mention this in your application!
