About the role
We are looking for an ML Infrastructure Engineer with 3+ years of experience to own and scale the training and inference stack at a fast-growing AI document processing platform. You'll be a strong generalist who understands the mechanics of how ML models work – from serving and monitoring to building robust data pipelines – and can improve inference performance, reliability, and cost efficiency. This is a high-impact IC role where you'll work closely with ML researchers to ensure models are deployed quickly and reliably, and that infrastructure is never a bottleneck for the products being served. The ideal candidate is AI-native from the get-go, comfortable with 1-to-3 node training and single-to-double node serving, and thrives in a fast-paced startup environment.
What you will be doing
-
Building and maintaining model serving infrastructure – improving inference speed, monitoring, and reliability to ensure it's never a bottleneck for customers
-
Setting up and improving training infrastructure for models ranging from 300M to 30B parameters across 1-to-3 node environments
-
Developing observability, logging, and monitoring systems across the ML stack
-
Building internal data pipelines and tooling to help ML researchers move faster from experiment to production
-
Architecting infrastructure to arbitrate inference between multiple cloud providers while optimizing for accuracy, latency, and cost
About Reducto
Reducto is a Series B team in San Francisco, founded in 2023 by Adit Abraham (CEO) and Raunak Chowdhuri (CTO), who met at MIT. Chowdhuri had published computer vision papers with over 100 citations before finishing high school. The company went through YC Winter 2024 and has raised $108M from a16z, Benchmark, First Round, BoxGroup, and YC.
The machine learning team is eight people and reports to the CTO. It runs a mix of in-house models and larger open-source ones, and an ML tech lead role is expected to be filled around the new year. Engineering is in the office five days a week near Union Square and Market, which is intentional at this stage.
Culture signals that hold across every role here: high agency and self-direction, no settling for 90%, and attention to detail that matters concretely. In document parsing a comma versus a period turns $20,000 into 20.000, so sloppy work is a real red flag. Engineers are expected to hold technical conversations with enterprise customers, not just stay in the code.
