Job Description

Replicate makes it easy to run AI in the cloud. Weve got a library of thousands of models that you can run with one line of code, or you can deploy your own private models without having to worry about servers or GPUs.

Were a team from Docker, GitHub, NVIDIA, and Scale AI. We obsess about the details of API design and making things fast. Were led by engineers. Were a startup and we act like it. But, were here to build a big company.

The Models team keeps Replicates model library stocked with the latest generative AI models. We make popular models fast, reliable, and easy to use. We also add features things people ask for and things they didnt know they needed.

Were hiring an Engineering Manager to help lead this team of six to eight engineers working at the edge of open-source AI and high-performance computing. Youll support the team, shape the technical direction, and stay close to the code. The team focuses on three things:

Turn research into APIs. We make it easy to package models with cog and run them on Replicate.

Make models faster. CUDA, quantization, parallelism we use whatever works to make models run faster and cheaper.

Build new model features. This could mean training video models, adding inpainting or ControlNet-style conditioning, or inventing new ways to use models.

We build in the open. That means contributing upstream, releasing internal tools, and sharing what we learn.

What were looking for

Youre a strong leader. You bring energy and clarity. You help people do their best work. You like solving real problems and moving fast. If that sounds like you, wed love to hear from you.

What youll do

Lead and grow a team that packages, optimizes, and improves generative models. Push model quality and performance every day.

Collaborate with other teams to improve performance, tooling, and usability across the platform. Represent and advocate for our customers as an internal user of our platform.

Bring momentum and clarity to projects: set goals, unblock the team, and keep things moving.

Work with company leadership to prioritize and align on strategy; help shape the technical roadmap from ML tooling to infrastructure.

You should apply if

Youve helped teams grow and thrive, especially in fast-paced or startup environments. You mentor engineers and know how to scale a team.

Youve worked in machine learning, data science, or adjacent fields. You know a bit about model optimization and performance.

Youre great at communication and project management. You bring order to ambiguity and keep the team focused.

You care about AI and want to build practical tools that help real people.

You want to make generative AI easier for developers and creators to use.

Youre part of the generative AI or open-source infrastructure community.

Youll get to work on some of the most interesting problems in AI infrastructure while contributing to the open-source communities that make this work possible.
