UCentric is exclusively partnering with a high‐growth, Melbourne‐based technology venture as they enter a pivotal expansion phase following a successful platform rollout. This organization is at the forefront of Australian‐led innovation, now focusing on scaling its engineering capability to support complex product delivery and production readiness.
Opportunity
We are seeking a Software Engineer (Model Training) who is eager to contribute to a live, high‐performance production setting. This is an ideal role for an engineer with 3–5 years of experience who possesses strong Computer Science foundations and a genuine passion for engineering excellence.
Key Responsibilities
* Design and maintain pipelines for training large‐scale models across massive clusters.
* Build high‐performance ingestion and preprocessing systems for massive datasets.
* Develop tooling for checkpointing, reproducibility, and experiment tracking.
* Debug and monitor long‐running training jobs, diagnosing failures across infrastructure and training loops.
* Improve training throughput across compute, memory, and data pipelines.
* Work closely with researchers to translate theoretical ideas into stable production training runs.
About You
* Experience: 3–5 years building production‐grade software.
* Tech Stack: Robust proficiency in Python and exposure to ML frameworks like PyTorch or JAX.
* Systems Mindset: You enjoy debugging complex distributed systems and prefer understanding "how the engine works" over relying on abstractions.
* Precision: You have the patience to diagnose failures that may only appear hours or days into a run.
* Curiosity: A genuine desire to learn how large‐scale AI training actually happens at the infrastructure level.
Behaviours / Qualities Who Will Thrive
* High‐stakes training runs require a methodical approach.
* You want to understand the "why" behind system behavior.
* You take pride in the stability and reliability of the code you ship.
* You are calm and methodical when production systems behave unexpectedly.
Full‐time role based in Melbourne. At this time, we cannot offer visa sponsorship; applicants must have existing and unrestricted work rights in Australia.
