Author the deployment workbook for each pair you own. - Embed part-time with consuming teams during integration; debug perf and accuracy issues alongside them. - Maintain and extend the team's benchmark harness. What We're Looking For - 3+ years on ML systems. - Solid PyTorch + ONNX export experience including the gotchas (dynamic shapes, control flow, custom ops). - Quantization in production on at least one real model. - Comfort with at least two of: ONNX Runtime, TensorRT, CoreML, OpenVINO, QNN, LiteRT. - Profiling fluency on at least one platform. Bonus Points - Custom op authoring in any runtime. Why Sarvam?
