Machine Learning Engineer, Offline Infrastructure (Entry-Level / New Grad)

Unity Technologies
San Francisco, CA, USA / USA-Mountain View, Mountain View, CA, USA2026-05-08

About the job

Unity Vector builds an offline ML platform that powers insight, experimentation, attribution, and AI-driven decision-making across the company. Our systems operate at scale across batch and streaming data, supporting analytics, product intelligence, machine learning pipelines, and business operations. As data volume and complexity grow, our platform enables large-scale model training, feature generation, and experimentation workflows that power production ML systems. We’re looking for a Machine Learning Engineer to join our Offline Infrastructure team. This is an ideal role for a recent university graduate who is excited to work on large-scale systems and apply research-driven thinking to real-world machine learning problems. You’ll help build and evolve the infrastructure that powers training data generation, ML workflows, and distributed model training. Working closely with experienced engineers and researchers, you’ll contribute to systems that ensure our ML pipelines are reliable, scalable, and efficient. This role offers the opportunity to bridge research and production—translating advanced ideas into systems that operate at scale.

Responsibilities

Build and maintain data pipelines that generate training datasets for machine learning models and experimentation

Contribute to infrastructure that supports distributed training workflows (e.g., PyTorch, Ray)

Work with workflow orchestration tools (e.g., Airflow, Flyte, or similar) to support multi-stage ML pipelines

Improve reproducibility and reliability through dataset validation, monitoring, and testing

Partner with ML engineers to support experimentation and model iteration

Help optimize performance and efficiency across data processing and training systems

Contribute to the evolution of our offline ML platform architecture as it scales
