About the job

Build and maintain inference systems and reproducible benchmark suites, port models across runtimes and hardware, and verify partner implementations.

What you'll do

  • Design benchmark suites for inference performance, model quality, and knowledge evaluation across hardware targets.
  • Evaluate partner solutions against benchmarks, identify gaps, and communicate findings.
  • Port models across runtimes and frameworks, verify correctness, and extend the inference engine layer.

What they ask for

  • Hands-on experience modifying internals of at least one inference framework, such as llama.cpp, ONNX Runtime, or MLX.
  • Experience designing and building benchmarking pipelines, including methodology, validation, and reproducibility.
  • Strong C++ and Python in performance-sensitive contexts.
  • Understanding of inference fundamentals, including quantization, decoding strategies, and memory layout.

Nice to have

  • Experience porting models across runtimes and verifying numerical correctness; technical validation or evaluation with external partners or clients.
  • Familiarity with edge inference targets and their constraints.

Tools

llama.cpp, ONNX, MLX, ONNX Runtime, C++, Python

AI focus
