About the role
Infrastructure engineer to design, optimize, and scale inference serving systems for large multimodal models, focusing on low latency, high throughput, and reliable deployment at scale.
Responsibilities
- Build low-latency, high-throughput inference serving systems for our large multimodal models
- Design and implement techniques that improve latency, throughput, and efficiency, including quantization, batching, speculative decoding, and KV cache management
- Optimize our codebase and GPU fleet to fully utilize hardware FLOPs, bandwidth, and memory
- Implement multi-GPU and multi-node model parallelism for serving (tensor or pipeline parallel)
- Build autoscaling and load balancing for production ML services
- Establish standards for reliability, observability, and reproducibility across the inference stack
- Collaborate with researchers to enable high-performance inference for novel architectures
Qualifications
- 3+ years of experience building low-latency, high-throughput inference serving systems for large models
- Strong knowledge of inference optimization techniques (quantization, batching, speculative decoding, KV cache management)
- Hands-on experience with serving frameworks such as vLLM, TensorRT-LLM, Triton, or SGLang
- Experience with multi-GPU/multi-node model parallelism for serving (tensor or pipeline parallel)
- Strong systems programming skills; C++/CUDA a plus alongside Python
- Experience with autoscaling and load balancing for production ML services
- A track record of GPU cost optimization at scale
