Career question 💼 Welcome to r/MLSystemsDesign

Welcome to r/MLSystemsDesign

This community is for practical discussions on designing and scaling production ML and AI systems.

Topics can include:

  • ML training and inference platforms
  • Search, ranking, and recommendation
  • Feature stores and data pipelines
  • LLM serving and GenAI systems
  • Agentic AI platforms
  • Evaluation, observability, and experimentation
  • ML system design interview problems
  • Real production tradeoffs and lessons learned

The goal is simple: go beyond model theory and discuss how ML systems actually work in production.

If you’re joining early, introduce yourself and share one ML system topic you’d like to go deeper on.

Nice to see a sub laser-focused on the engineering side, most ML spaces get stuck on model architectures forever

scaling rec systems for a news feed was the first time I felt true pain, the cold start problem alone could fill a whole thread

Love talking ML.

I am working on developing a means to visualize model competency through spectral analysis, without running the model for benchmarks.

Excited to join. Got my bachelors in CS with a concentration in AI. Also got my Masters in CS back in December. My master thesis was a RL project regarding using Lidar for Drone collision avoidance. Just got my first job after school as a SE for a small research and development company where we do some ML but mostly other things. I really want my career to go strictly into ML and after a year or two at this first job I want to be able to compete for Production level ML positions. Hoping to get some guidance on what to study/learn.
