About the job
Owns end-to-end inference systems for real-time multimodal conversational AI, spanning model co-design, low-latency production serving, and offline training and reinforcement-learning infrastructure.
What you'll do
- Co-design model architectures and optimize inference paths, kernels, and GPU performance for latency, memory, and cost.
- Build and operate real-time streaming serving systems, including scheduling, batching, multi-GPU inference, and performance benchmarking.
- Build offline rollout, reward-serving, training, and evaluation infrastructure, maintaining consistency with production inference.
What they ask for
- 5+ years of non-internship professional software development experience and 5+ years programming in at least one language.
- 4+ years leading design or architecture of new and existing systems.
- Bachelor's degree in computer science or equivalent; experience as a mentor, tech lead, or engineering team lead.
- 2+ years hands-on neural-model inference optimization, plus deep-learning, GPU optimization, and production experience with latency-constrained real-time inference under concurrent load.
Nice to have
- Production LLM or multimodal serving internals, custom GPU kernels, or real-time streaming AI systems.
- Offline reinforcement-learning inference infrastructure, distributed training, multiple hardware backends, or speech/audio generative models.
