Job Summary
About the Role
As a Research MLE at Canva youll be responsible for high-performance data acquisition processing and annotation to enable the training of cutting-edge models. Your focus will be on sourcing data automation building performant infrastructure for filtering and analyzing and dealing with petabyte-scale data. Youll be the crucial link that makes novel model development training and evaluation possible accelerating Canvas cutting-edge research.
Key Focus Areas
- Data Acquisition: Developing scalable tools and pipelines for acquiring diverse datasets from multiple sources
- Curation: Engineering robust solutions for filtering deduplication quality assessment and curating data that meets specific research requirements and model training criteria
- Data Infrastructure: Developing high-throughput tools for interfacing with large-scale data pools enabling efficient querying sampling and extracting valuable statistical insights and patterns
Primary Responsibilities
- Work alongside research teams to ensure continuous flow of high-quality data toward active projects understanding their specific dataset requirements and delivery timelines
- Curate targeted subsets of data using ML techniques including clustering embedding-based similarity search and automated quality scoring
- Extract visualize and communicate actionable insights about dataset composition distributions biases and statistical properties to inform research decisions
- Build performant parallel algorithms for gathering and processing data at scale optimizing for both throughput and cost-efficiency across distributed systems
- Engineer intuitive interfaces and tooling to help researchers explore sample and interact with large datasets without requiring deep infrastructure knowledge
- Work with paired multimodal data (text-image audio-video etc.) ensuring alignment quality handling synchronization challenges and maintaining multimodal correspondence
- Leverage high-performance parallel computing frameworks (Ray Spark DeepSpeed etc) and cloud infrastructure for distributed data operations on petabyte-scale datasets
Youre probably a match if you have:
A strong aesthetic sense with a background or demonstrated passion for visual design or human-computer interaction.
Strong proficiency in Python and ML frameworks (e.g. PyTorch TensorFlow).
Extensive experience with designing and implementing large-scale data processing workflows using libraries like Pandas and data warehousing solutions such as Snowflake.
Solid understanding of statistical methods including experimental design A/B testing and quality evaluation systems.
Experience with generative AI and synthetic data generation is highly desirable.
Nice to have:
Experience with cloud platforms (e.g. AWS GCP Azure) for data storage processing and MLOps related to dataset management.
Experience with MLOps practices and tools specifically for data versioning lineage and pipeline automation.
Ability to develop data visualization or data collection interfaces (e.g. TypeScript Python).
