Job Description

The Data-AML-Engine Orchestration team builds large-scale machine learning infrastructure that powers online model serving across ByteDance products, including TikTok. We develop the orchestration, scheduling, and resource management systems that connect heterogeneous compute infrastructure with production ML workloads.
You will work on systems that directly affect GPU utilization, serving latency and availability, infrastructure reliability, and MLE productivity. Depending on your background and interests, you may focus on one or more of the following areas.

We are looking for talented individuals to join our team. As a graduate, you will get opportunities to pursue bold ideas, tackle complex challenges, and unlock limitless growth.

Responsibilities:
- Design and build foundational orchestration capabilities for machine learning platforms, including Kubernetes Operators, container runtimes, and lifecycle management for jobs, services, and stateful workloads.
- Build multi-tenant resource and quota systems that support priorities, preemption, fair sharing, elasticity, and cross-cluster scheduling. Improve GPU utilization and cost efficiency through resource pooling and FinOps.
- Build lifecycle orchestration for online model serving, including model and image distribution, deployment, upgrades, rollback, autoscaling, multi-cluster operation, and disaster recovery.
- Build serving orchestration and traffic management capabilities for disaggregated serving clusters, including topology-aware scheduling, KV Cache affinity, intelligent request routing, and QoS/SLA management.
