Job description

We're looking for a Senior Software Engineer - ML Infrastructure to build and scale the infrastructure that powers our AI-driven warehouse intelligence platform. You'll own the end-to-end lifecycle of computer vision models — from training pipelines through optimized cloud deployment — ensuring our cutting-edge computer vision and multi-modal AI systems run reliably and efficiently in production. Your work will directly enable the real-time perception and autonomous decision-making capabilities at the core of our platform.

This is a deeply technical role at the intersection of machine learning, distributed systems, and cloud infrastructure. You'll design scalable GPU compute clusters, build robust orchestration pipelines, and optimize model serving for low-latency inference at scale. You'll work closely with our research scientists, computer vision engineers, and product teams to bridge the gap between experimental models and production-ready systems that operate across diverse warehouse environments. We've found tremendous value in collaborative problem-solving, thus our team works from our SF office three days a week.

Responsibilities

  • Develop and maintain distributed cloud GPU infrastructure for large-scale world model training and low-latency inference.
  • Build end-to-end computer vision pipelines — from data ingestion and preprocessing through model training, evaluation, and deployment — and integrate them into core product workflows.
  • Deploy and optimize state-of-the-art machine learning models in the cloud using model serving platforms and inference optimization techniques, including VLMs and VLAs.
  • Design and operate orchestration systems that enable both engineers and non-engineers to build and manage data and ML pipelines.
  • Establish monitoring, benchmarking, and evaluation frameworks to ensure model performance and reliability in production environments.

Required Experience

  • B.S. / M.S. in Computer Science, Robotics, or similar technical field, or equivalent practical experience.
  • 7+ years of professional software engineering experience, with at least 3 years in machine learning infrastructure — developing, scaling, training, deploying, and optimizing large-scale ML systems from data to model.
  • Track record of deploying machine learning models in production environments with real-world constraints.
  • Experience with distributed messaging and compute systems (Kafka, gRPC, ROS2, or similar).
  • Strong programming skills in Python with solid software engineering practices.

Preferred Experience

  • Experience with training and/or deployment of machine learning models in the computer vision domain.
  • Experience developing, running, and managing orchestration systems (Flyte, Temporal, Airflow, or similar) for ML and data pipelines.
  • Proficiency with ML frameworks (PyTorch, TensorFlow, DeepSpeed) and model serving platforms (TorchServe, TensorFlow Serving, NVIDIA Triton Inference Server, or similar).
  • Deep understanding of state-of-the-art machine learning models such as auto-regressive transformers and familiarity with inference optimization techniques (TensorRT, quantization, custom kernels).
  • Experience with C++ or CUDA programming for GPU acceleration.
  • Prior experience working at autonomous vehicles or robotics companies.

Equal Opportunity Statement

We’re an equal opportunity employer that values diversity and inclusion. We welcome teammates of all backgrounds and don’t discriminate based on race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, disability, or veteran status.

Benefits

At Claryo, we offer a competitive benefits package that supports your health and well-being, including — top-tier medical, dental, and vision coverage, 401k with employer matching, parental leave, and unlimited vacation.

Why work at Claryo

  • High-Impact Mission: Work on AI-driven logistics tech that is reshaping how physical work gets done in warehouses globally, with a direct impact on billions of items handled.
  • World-Class Team: Join a team of engineers and researchers from top companies like Apple, Cruise, and Schrödinger, and an alumnus network that includes Princeton University.
  • Cutting-Edge Tech Stack: Work with modern tools including PyTorch, TensorFlow, Kubernetes, Docker, React, PostgreSQL, and NVIDIA CUDA.
  • Culture & Recognition: The company was selected as a 2025 Technology Pioneer by the World Economic Forum, signaling strong external validation and a culture of innovation.
  • Location & Flexibility: Headquarters in San Francisco, CA (Montgomery St.) with a presence in Germany. Open roles are located in San Francisco.
  • Active Growth: With only 12 employees and 9 open roles, new hires will have significant ownership and influence over the product and company direction.
