• Design and implement efficient database schemas for cloud service management, edge device management, inference job tracking, results storage, and audit logging optimized for low latency responses
• Architect and implement containerized AI/ML inference pipelines for deployment on both cloud infrastructure and edge devices (NVIDIA DGX hardware)
• Isolate and address performance issues end-to-end for large pathology slide images across cloud and edge deployments
• Implement comprehensive observability solutions including telemetry, logging, monitoring, and alerting for distributed cloud and edge deployments
• Write clean and extensible Python, TypeScript, and Node.js code with production-grade security, scalability, and debuggability best practices
• Ensure all software implementations meet FDA compliance requirements (21 CFR Part 11, 820) and SOC2 security standards for both cloud services and edge devices
• Work closely with ML Engineering, ML Research, and Edge Device teams to integrate AI models into production-ready inference services
• Participate in design reviews, code reviews, and architecture discussions to maintain high software quality standards
• Identify performance bottlenecks in inference pipelines, cloud services, and edge-to-cloud communication. Deliver optimized solutions to address them
• Develop and maintain comprehensive technical documentation including API specifications, deployment guides, and security documentation for regulatory submissions
• Participate in on-call rotation, incident management, and root cause analysis to improve system reliability
• Collaborate with QA teams to implement automated testing within CI/CD pipelines for both cloud and edge deployments
