Role

Who you are

2+ years in MLOps / Infra / ML Platform
Deep experience with PyTorch, CUDA-aware workflows
Strong Linux + systems fundamentals
Proven experience deploying models at scale (not just notebooks)

Desirable

Training orchestration: Ray, Slurm, Kubernetes, Airflow
Model lifecycle: Weights & Biases, MLflow, custom registries
Containers: Docker, multi-arch builds
Inference optimization: TensorRT, ONNX, Triton
Monitoring: metrics, logs, alerts for ML systems
Experience with autonomy or robotics
Edge deployment constraints (latency, power, thermal)
Data versioning tools (DVC, LakeFS)

What the job involves

Own the reliability, scalability, and velocity of model training and deployment for autonomy systems. Turn experimental models into dependable production services
Design and operate end-to-end ML infrastructure: training, evaluation, deployment, monitoring
Build CI/CD for ML (model versioning, promotion, rollback, canarying)
Own model observability: drift detection, performance regression, data health
Optimize GPU utilization across training and inference (on-prem + cloud)
Support edge deployment (Jetson / Orin / x86 + GPU)
Work closely with perception and autonomy teams to reduce friction from research to production

Our take

Operating a massive piece of heavy equipment like a bullddozer for 8-10 hours a day is a challenging job. It's tiring, unsafe and requires a great deal of synchronisation with other workers and vehicles on the job. Teleo is lightening this burden for construction teams with remote and autonomous control of heavy equipment.

The startup has pursued a pragmatic “crawl-walk-run” approach to deliver the benefits of supervised autonomy now. Instead of having each machine in a fleet operated by a driver in a cab, they’re all being controlled remotely by a single human operator miles away from the job site.

The hope is that the technology matures toward fully autonomous heavy equipment operation. Like any new, next-generation technology, it can take some getting used to. However construction workers are simply adapting to robots on site as a another tool to get the job done, putting Teleo in a strong position as it sets out to disrupt the construction industry.
