About the job
Own and develop the end-to-end inference stack for real-time multimodal conversational AI, from model architecture and low-latency production serving to offline training, reinforcement learning, and evaluation systems.
What you'll do
- Co-design model architectures and optimize inference paths, GPU kernels, and performance for multimodal models.
- Build and operate real-time streaming serving systems, including scheduling, batching, multi-GPU inference, and performance benchmarking.
- Develop offline inference and rollout infrastructure for reinforcement learning and evaluation, ensuring train/serve consistency.
What they ask for
- 3+ years of building machine learning models for business application experience; 2+ years of hands-on experience optimizing neural-model inference.
- PhD, or Master's degree and 6+ years of applied research experience.
- Experience programming in Java, C++, Python or related language; experience with neural deep learning methods and machine learning.
- Strong understanding of deep learning architectures and speech/audio or multimodal applications, GPU performance optimization, and production latency-constrained real-time inference under concurrent load.
Nice to have
- Production LLM/multimodal serving internals, custom GPU kernels, or real-time streaming AI systems.
- Offline inference or reinforcement-learning infrastructure, distributed training, speech/audio generative models, or shipping research models to production.
