About the job
Build and operate Kubernetes-based infrastructure for training and serving custom models, optimizing inference cost, latency, and reliability.
What you'll do
- Develop and operate distributed training and model-serving systems, including batching, caching, routing, and autoscaling.
- Reduce cost per token through quantization, speculative decoding, kernel optimization, and scheduling improvements; profile and resolve performance bottlenecks.
- Set and meet latency and reliability targets, and collaborate with training teams on models that are efficient to serve.
What they ask for
- Experience training or serving LLMs at scale using PyTorch, vLLM, SGLang, or a system you built.
- Strong systems fundamentals in concurrency, memory, networking, and performance measurement; working knowledge of GPU programming (CUDA or Triton) and transformer training and inference internals.
- Fluency in Python and a systems language such as C++, Rust, or Go, plus hands-on experience running GPU workloads on Kubernetes.
- Comfort owning production systems and responding when they break.
Nice to have
- Contributions to an open-source inference engine or kernel library; experience with multi-tenant serving, LoRA serving, or model multiplexing.
- Experience at an early-stage startup or as a founder.
Tools
Kubernetes, PyTorch, vLLM, SGLang, CUDA, Triton, Python, C++
AI focus
Build infrastructure for training and serving custom AI models, including inference optimization and collaboration on model architectures and formats that are cheaper to serve.
