- 3+ years building production-grade, large-scale serving infrastructure.
About the job
Build and operate production inference systems for large models, optimizing their performance, reliability, and cost under real workloads.
What you'll do
- Build, harden, and operate high-throughput production inference systems; own throughput, latency, cost-per-token, and reliability.
- Profile workloads and integrate inference optimizations, including quantization, custom kernels, scheduling, and memory management.
- Design observability, plan capacity and autoscaling, load-test systems, and resolve incidents with systemic follow-up fixes.
What they ask for
- 3+ years building production-grade, large-scale serving infrastructure.
- Strong distributed systems experience, including on-call responsibility.
- Experience with GPU-accelerated inference at scale across multi-GPU, multi-node, batched, and streaming workloads.
- Fluent Python and ability to read and write systems-level code in at least one of C++, CUDA, ROCm, or Triton.
Nice to have
- Open-source contributions to inference or serving frameworks; experience with mixed cloud and on-premises deployments.
- Familiarity with hardware-aware optimization such as memory hierarchy, NCCL/RDMA, or NUMA; background in compilers, runtimes, or accelerator software stacks.
Tools
Python, C++, CUDA, ROCm, Triton, NCCL/RDMA, NUMA
