About the job

Build and operate production inference-serving software for SambaNova’s RDU accelerators, adapting serving frameworks and shipping inference features, APIs, and tests.

What you'll do

  • Implement RDU inference features, including speculative decoding, constrained decoding, tool calling, prompt caching, and long-context inference.
  • Adapt vLLM and related serving frameworks to the RDU architecture, and build and maintain public inference API endpoints.
  • Write accuracy and regression tests and debug latency, throughput, and reliability issues in production.

What they ask for

  • B.S. in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related field.
  • Strong programming skills in Python and understanding of algorithms, data structures, concurrency, and systems design.
  • Coursework or project experience in distributed systems or machine learning.
  • Experience with LLM serving frameworks (vLLM, SGLang, or TensorRT-LLM), inference techniques (speculative decoding, KV caching, or continuous batching), and PyTorch.

Nice to have

  • M.S. or Ph.D. in a related field; API or backend service experience; internship or research experience in ML systems or backend infrastructure.
  • Experience with disaggregated systems (prefill/decode) or open-source project ownership or contributions.
