Job Description Job Description About ATI: Automated Tire (ATI) is a Series-B startup revolutionizing automotive service with innovative robotic and software technology. Founded by experienced entrepreneurs and backed by major players in the automotive and tire sectors, ATI is building the next generation of tools that make tire shops and dealership service lanes faster, safer, and smarter. If you're passionate about building products that ship into real-world environments, ATI is the place for you. Position Overview: BrakeWise is our production brake inspection product: a mobile application paired with a camera probe that technicians use to assess pad and rotor condition during live service work. The machine learning behind it is a multi-stage pipeline of segmentation and classification models that turn raw imagery into a wear assessment a shop can act on and charge for. That pipeline works, and it is an MVP. It runs on Cloud Functions, and it will not carry us to the customer volume we're signing. We're looking for a Staff MLOps Engineer to own it - to take it from a working prototype to a serving architecture that holds up under real throughput, with the latency, cost, and reliability characteristics a paying customer expects. You'll own every aspect of how our models reach production and how they get better: serving infrastructure, deployment and rollback, monitoring and drift detection, the retraining loop, and the evaluation discipline that tells us whether a new model is actually an improvement. Model accuracy here has commercial consequences - a bad wear call is either a missed repair or an unnecessary one, in front of a customer. This is also the senior cloud architecture voice on the team. You'll partner closely with our Staff Full Stack Engineer, who owns the mobile app and customer dashboard, reviewing designs and setting GCP practices across the platform rather than only within the ML stack. Responsibilities: Own the multi-stage inference pipeline (segmentors and classifiers) end to end - serving architecture, latency, throughput, reliability, and cost per inspection Re-architect the pipeline off its current Cloud Functions MVP onto infrastructure that scales: containerized inference, GPU-backed or accelerated serving where it pays for itself, queueing, batching, and autoscaling Own model deployment: versioning, staged rollout, canary and shadow evaluation, and fast rollback when a model regresses Build and own the improvement loop - field data collection, labeling workflows, dataset versioning, evaluation harnesses, and regression suites that catch quality loss before customers do Monitor model quality in production: drift detection, segmented performance analysis, and triage of real-world failures against real inspection imagery Define the metrics that matter commercially - false-positive and false-negative rates on a wear call, technician override rate, unit inference cost - and report against them Improve model performance directly: architecture selection, augmentation, hard-example mining, and quantization or distillation where latency and cost demand it Evaluate on-device versus cloud inference trade-offs for the mobile app, and own whichever path we choose Establish MLOps foundations: reproducible training, experiment tracking, CI/CD for models, and infrastructure as code Serve as the cloud architecture counterpart to the Staff Full Stack Engineer - reviewing designs, setting GCP best practices, and raising the platform's infrastructure bar Work with hardware and field operations on capture quality - lighting, focus, and probe positioning - since upstream image quality sets the ceiling on model performance Own production support for the ML stack, including incident response and on-call participation for inference availability Proactively identify technical risks and architectural trade-offs, and communicate them clearly to leadership Requirements 8+ years of professional engineering experience, including several years owning machine learning systems in production - not solely model development Demonstrated experience taking a computer vision pipeline from prototype to production scale, serving real users at meaningful volume Deep experience deploying and operating segmentation and classification models, including multi-stage pipelines where one model's output feeds the next Strong cloud infrastructure background, preferably GCP - Vertex AI, Cloud Run, GKE, Cloud Functions, Cloud SQL, Pub/Sub, and Docker Production-grade Python, and fluency with PyTorch or TensorFlow Hands-on experience with model serving and optimization - Triton, TorchServe, ONNX, TensorRT, quantization, or equivalent Experience owning deployment and support for a live system, including incident response, rollback, and on-call Experience building data and labeling pipelines with dataset versioning and reproducible evaluation Comfort with infrastructure as code (e.g., Terraform) and CI/CD automation (e.g., GitHub Actions) Sound judgment on the accuracy, latency, and cost trade-offs that determine whether an ML product is viable Excellent problem-solving, debugging, and communication skills, including with non-technical stakeholders Preferred Qualifications: On-device or edge inference experience (Core ML, TensorFlow Lite, ExecuTorch) and integration into mobile applications Active learning or human-in-the-loop labeling systems Computer vision on small, long-tail, or industrial inspection datasets rather than large public benchmarks Experience with camera and sensor integration, or working alongside hardware teams on capture quality Experience with robotics, IoT, or edge computing (ROS or similar platforms) Familiarity with automotive service, dealership operations, or DMS ecosystems Contributions to open-source projects Why Join ATI: Be part of a groundbreaking startup transforming automotive service technology Work with a team of industry veterans and top-tier robotics and software talent Own the ML platform for a product that already has paying customers - your architecture decisions set the scaling ceiling Our customers are our investors, so you'll develop and test in real service lane environments A genuine data advantage: proprietary inspection imagery from real shops that no public dataset can replicate Clear Total Addressable Market with strong pull from B2B partners Competitive salary and comprehensive benefits package Prime location in Woburn, MA with on-site parking Collaborative, low-ego, high-intensity work environment

That pipeline works, and it is an MVP. It runs on Cloud Functions, and it will not carry us to the customer volume we're signing. We're looking for a Staff MLOps Engineer to own it - to take it from a working prototype to a serving architecture that holds up under real throughput, with the latency, cost, and reliability characteristics a paying customer expects. You'll own every aspect of how our models reach production and how they get better: serving infrastructure, deployment and rollback, monitoring and drift detection, the retraining loop, and the evaluation discipline that tells us whether a new model is actually an improvement. Model accuracy here has commercial consequences - a bad wear call is either a missed repair or an unnecessary one, in front of a customer. This is also the senior cloud architecture voice on the team. You'll partner closely with our Staff Full Stack Engineer, who owns the mobile app and customer dashboard, reviewing designs and setting GCP practices across the platform rather than only within the ML stack. Responsibilities: Own the multi-stage inference pipeline (segmentors and classifiers) end to end - serving architecture, latency, throughput, reliability, and cost per inspection Re-architect the pipeline off its current Cloud Functions MVP onto infrastructure that scales: containerized inference, GPU-backed or accelerated serving where it pays for itself, queueing, batching, and autoscaling Own model deployment: versioning, staged rollout, canary and shadow evaluation, and fast rollback when a model regresses Build and own the improvement loop - field data collection, labeling workflows, dataset versioning, evaluation harnesses, and regression suites that catch quality loss before customers do Monitor model quality in production: drift detection, segmented performance analysis, and triage of real-world failures against real inspection imagery Define the metrics that matter commercially - false-positive and false-negative rates on a wear call, technician override rate, unit inference cost - and report against them Improve model performance directly: architecture selection, augmentation, hard-example mining, and quantization or distillation where latency and cost demand it Evaluate on-device versus cloud inference trade-offs for the mobile app, and own whichever path we choose Establish MLOps foundations: reproducible training, experiment tracking, CI/CD for models, and infrastructure as code Serve as the cloud architecture counterpart to the Staff Full Stack Engineer - reviewing designs, setting GCP best practices, and raising the platform's infrastructure bar Work with hardware and field operations on capture quality - lighting, focus, and probe positioning - since upstream image quality sets the ceiling on model performance Own production support for the ML stack, including incident response and on-call participation for inference availability Proactively identify technical risks and architectural trade-offs, and communicate them clearly to leadership Requirements 8+ years of professional engineering experience, including several years owning machine learning systems in production - not solely model development Demonstrated experience taking a computer vision pipeline from prototype to production scale, serving real users at meaningful volume Deep experience deploying and operating segmentation and classification models, including multi-stage pipelines where one model's output feeds the next Strong cloud infrastructure background, preferably GCP - Vertex AI, Cloud Run, GKE, Cloud Functions, Cloud SQL, Pub/Sub, and Docker Production-grade Python, and fluency with PyTorch or TensorFlow Hands-on experience with model serving and optimization - Triton, TorchServe, ONNX, TensorRT, quantization, or equivalent Experience owning deployment and support for a live system, including incident response, rollback, and on-call Experience building data and labeling pipelines with dataset versioning and reproducible evaluation Comfort with infrastructure as code (e.g., Terraform) and CI/CD automation (e.g., GitHub Actions) Sound judgment on the accuracy, latency, and cost trade-offs that determine whether an ML product is viable Excellent problem-solving, debugging, and communication skills, including with non-technical stakeholders Preferred Qualifications: On-device or edge inference experience (Core ML, TensorFlow Lite, ExecuTorch) and integration into mobile applications Active learning or human-in-the-loop labeling systems Computer vision on small, long-tail, or industrial inspection datasets rather than large public benchmarks Experience with camera and sensor integration, or working alongside hardware teams on capture quality Experience with robotics, IoT, or edge computing (ROS or similar platforms) Familiarity with automotive service, dealership operations, or DMS ecosystems Contributions to open-source projects Why Join ATI: Be part of a groundbreaking startup transforming automotive service technology Work with a team of industry veterans and top-tier robotics and software talent Own the ML platform for a product that already has paying customers - your architecture decisions set the scaling ceiling Our customers are our investors, so you'll develop and test in real service lane environments A genuine data advantage: proprietary inspection imagery from real shops that no public dataset can replicate Clear Total Addressable Market with strong pull from B2B partners Competitive salary and comprehensive benefits package Prime location in Woburn, MA with on-site parking Collaborative, low-ego, high-intensity work environment
