About the job
Designs, optimizes, and scales production serving systems for Inception’s diffusion language models, improving inference speed, cost, and reliability.
What you'll do
- Build high-performance, low-latency serving systems and extend orchestration for distributed inference, evaluation, and large-batch serving.
- Implement endpoint load balancing, autoscaling, traffic routing, model versioning, canary deployments, and zero-downtime rollouts.
- Develop monitoring and observability tools, and work with ML researchers to productionize model and serving improvements.
What they ask for
- Knowledge of ML serving frameworks such as SGLang, vLLM, Triton Inference Server, or TensorRT-LLM.
- Understanding of PyTorch or TensorFlow from a systems perspective and familiarity with CUDA and high-performance computing.
- Experience with Docker, Kubernetes, CI/CD pipelines, and performance optimization and profiling of ML systems.
Nice to have
- Experience building or maintaining language models with tens of billions of parameters or more.
- Experience with distributed systems, cloud platforms, ML workflow orchestration, model optimization, or ML infrastructure challenges.
Tools
Kubernetes, Ray, SLURM, SGLang, vLLM, Triton Inference Server, TensorRT-LLM, PyTorch
AI focus
Production inference and serving for diffusion LLMs, including applying model advances such as new architectures, quantization, and batching strategies.
