Engineering Leader / Manager (Ray Core)

Anyscale provides a development platform intended to simplify distributed computing. This enables software developers of all skill levels to build applications that run at any scale from a laptop to the data center.

We're commercializing a popular open source project called Ray - which is a framework for distributed computing as well as an ecosystem of libraries for scalable machine learning.

Our goal is to enable organizations to accelerate the progress of AI applications out into the real world and at lower cost. Backed by Andreessen Horowitz, NEA, and Addition.

Anyscale is based in San Francisco, CA.

Anyscale is looking for a strong Engineering Leader to manage the Ray Core (Core Runtime) team, which includes both the open source Ray distributed computing framework, and proprietary features. We are looking for candidates with experience to manage through managers or tech leads.

As an open source project, Ray is about making general purpose distributed computing easy, and Ray Core is the fundamental architecture behind this “infinite laptop” mission. The Ray Core team is responsible for developing this core distributed computing framework (with basic abstractions of Tasks, Actors, Objects) to support Ray developers, and other Ray libraries (e.g. Datasets, ML libraries). The work also includes adding proprietary features to make the Anyscale SaaS offering more competitive. The work will be essential in our path towards Ray 2.0 , and also in the next phase of the Anyscale product.

You can learn more about Ray Core with these materials:

In this position, you will guide the vision, recruit, and enable a high-performing team. This team is critical to everything that Anyscale and Ray achieve and will play a pivotal role in the success of the company.
