ML Platform Engineer
About tvScientific
tvScientific is the first and only CTV advertising platform purpose-built for performance marketers. We leverage massive data and cutting-edge science to automate and optimize TV advertising to drive business outcomes. Our solution combines media buying, optimization, measurement, and attribution in one, efficient platform. Our platform is built by industry leaders with a long history in programmatic advertising, digital media, and ad verification who have now purpose-built a CTV performance platform advertisers can trust to grow their business.
We are looking for an ambitious Systems / Platform Engineer to join a team at the intersection of SRE and low-latency distributed systems. This team will help power Pinterestâs next generation of realtime ML and measurement infrastructure, with a focus on subâmillisecond decisioning, highâthroughput data access, and tight integration with Pinterestâs core tech stack.
In this role, youâll think about queries and RPCs in terms of syscalls, cache lines, and wire formats, and design systems that stay fast and predictable under load. Youâll help define and harden the foundation for our training and serving stack: from storage and indexing strategies, to streaming and fanout, to backpressure and failure handling across services and regions. Youâll work closely with software engineering, data infra, and SRE partners to ensure our systems are observable, debuggable, and operable in production.
If topics like IO scheduling and batching, lockâfree or lowâcontention data structures, connection pooling, query planning, kernel and network tuning, onâdisk layout and indexing, circuitâbreaking, autoscaling, incident response, NixOS, Rust, and robust SLIs/SLOs sound interesting (even if itâs just a subset), this role gives you a chance to apply that expertise to businessâcritical, highâleverage infrastructure at Pinterest scale.
What you'll do:
Scale the decision making process for tools for the tvScientific AI team, from our workflows to our training infrastructure to our Kubernetes deployments
Improve the developer experience for the data science team
Upgrade our observability tooling
Make every deployment smooth as our infrastructure evolves.
What we're looking for:
Deep understanding of Linux
Excellent writing skills
A systems-oriented mindset
Experience in high-performance software (RTB, HFT, etc.)
Software engineering experience + reliability (e.g. CI/CD) expertise
Strong observability instincts
Demonstrated ability to use AI to improve speed and quality in your day-to-day workflow for relevant outputs
Strong track record of critical evaluation and verification of AI-assisted work (e.g., testing, source-checking, data validation, peer review)
High integrity and ownership: you protect sensitive data, avoid over-reliance on AI, and remain accountable for final decisions and deliverables
Nice-To-Haves
Reverse-engineering experience
Terraform, EKS, or MLOps experience
Python, Scala, or Zig experience
NixOS experience
Adtech or CTV experience
Experience deploying a distributed system across multiple clouds
Experience in hard real-time low-latency (Apply To This Job
