About the role

You will:

  • Build and maintain fault-tolerant, high-performance systems for serving LLMs workloads at scale.
  • Build an internal platform to empower LLM capability discovery.
  • Collaborate with researchers and engineers to integrate and optimize models for production and research use cases.
  • Conduct architecture and design reviews to uphold best practices in system design and scalability.
  • Develop monitoring and observability solutions to ensure system health and performance.
  • Lead projects end-to-end, from requirements gathering to implementation, in a cross-functional environment.

Ideally you'd have:

  • 4+ years of experience building large-scale, high-performance backend systems.
  • Strong programming skills in one or more languages (e.g., Python, Go, Rust, C++).
  • Experience with LLM serving and routing fundamentals (e.g. rate limiting, token streaming, load balancing, budgets, etc.)
  • Experience with LLM capabilities and concepts such as reasoning, tool calling, prompt templates, etc.
  • Experience with containers and orchestration tools (e.g., Docker, Kubernetes).
  • Familiarity with cloud infrastructure (AWS, GCP) and infrastructure as code (e.g., Terraform).
  • Proven ability to solve complex problems and work independently in fast-moving environments.

Nice to haves:

  • Experience with modern LLM serving frameworks such as vLLM, SGLang, TensorRT-LLM, or text-generation-inference.
