What you'll be doing

• Design, develop, and deploy scalable, production-grade ML systems and the platform components that support them, to optimize ad delivery, bidding strategies, and user engagement.
• Contribute significantly to the technical roadmap and design of our ML platform, focusing on solutions for training and inference of high-scale ad-tech models.
• Translate state-of-the-art research into practical, scalable solutions for our ML platform and models, ensuring Unity remains at the forefront of ML performance and innovation in the ad tech space.
• Partner cross-functionally with data science, product, and engineering teams to align ML platform capabilities and model development with strategic business goals.
• Collaborate on defining and refining requirements for data infrastructure, MLOps tooling, and processes to support advanced ML initiatives and the ML platform.
• Promote and implement best practices for model development, testing, deployment, monitoring, and overall MLOps within the new platform.
• Specifically focus on building and enhancing the ML platform capabilities for training, versioning, deploying, and serving high-scale ad-tech models, leveraging technologies such as Golang for performance-critical services and NVIDIA Triton Inference Server for optimized model serving.

What we're looking for

• Background in Computer Science, Machine Learning, Statistics or a related field.
• Extensive hands-on experience designing, deploying, and maintaining ML systems at scale, including managing cloud infrastructure on GCP and orchestrating workloads with Kubernetes.
• Strong track of record building ML platforms and infrastructure, including MLOps best practices — from data pipelines and model training workflows to serving and observability — with hands-on experience using tools like NVIDIA Triton Inference Server.
• Expertise in Python and familiarity with production-grade ML frameworks (such as PyTorch or TensorFlow), as well as modern ML architectures (transformer-based models, embeddings, retrieval-augmented pipelines).
• Familiarity with robust MLOps practices, data pipelines, and cloud ML deployment, including model serving and monitoring.
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills, with an ability to articulate technical concepts to both technical and non-technical audiences.

You might also have

• Experience with Golang for building high-performance ML systems/infrastructure.
• A forward-thinking mindset, always seeking opportunities to innovate and improve processes.
• A passion for mentoring and supporting teammates, fostering a culture of collaboration and shared success.
• Experience in ad tech or other performance-critical domains like recommender systems or real-time personalization.
