Job Description:
 Model development produces experiments, checkpoints, evaluation results and many versions of the same model. Keeping those records connected lets engineers reproduce results, compare approaches and move a trained model into use. 
We are looking for a Senior Software Engineer to build the backend services that make those workflows reliable. You will connect training runs to their data, code and configuration, manage model artifacts and help machine-learning engineers spend less time reconstructing what happened in an experiment.
