What a Machine Learning Systems Engineer does
Machine learning systems engineers build the infrastructure that trains and serves models, as opposed to designing the models themselves. Their concerns are distributed training across GPU clusters, data pipelines that keep those GPUs fed, inference servers with low latency and the tooling that makes experiments reproducible. The role sits where machine learning meets distributed systems and performance engineering.
