Current moment tensor inversion techniques, allowing station-specific time-shifts to account for the model error, are computationally expensive. Here, we propose a gradient-based method to jointly invert moment-tensor parameters, centroid depth and unknown station-specific time-shifts utilizing the modern functionalities in deep learning frameworks. A misfit function between predicted synthetic and time-shifted observed seismograms is defined in the spectral domain, which is differentiable to all unknowns. The inverse problem is solved by minimizing the misfit function with a gradient descent algorithm. The method's feasibility, robustness and scalability are demonstrated using synthetic experiments and real earthquake data in the Long Valley Caldera, California. This work presents an example of fresh opportunities to apply advanced computational infrastructures developed in deep learning to geophysical problems.This work greatly benefited from discussion with Jinyin Hu and Hrvoje Tkal\u010Di\u0107 through ongoing research on MT inversion.
