About the role

Responsibilities

  • Productionize model checkpoints end-to-end: from research completion to internal testing to production deployment to post-release support
  • Build and optimize inference systems for large-scale generative models running on multi-GPU environments
  • Design and implement model serving infrastructure specialized for diffusion models and real-time diffusion workflows
  • Add monitoring and observability for new model releases—track errors, throughput, GPU utilization, and latency
  • Embed with research teams to gather training data, run preprocessing scripts, and support the model development process
  • Explore and integrate with GPU inference providers (Modal, E2E, Baseten, etc.)

Requirements

  • 4+ years of experience running ML model inference at scale in production environments
  • Strong experience with PyTorch and multi-GPU inference for large models
  • Experience with Kubernetes for ML workloads—deploying, scaling, and debugging GPU-based services
  • Comfortable working across multiple cloud providers and managing GPU driver compatibility
  • Experience with monitoring and observability for ML systems (errors, throughput, GPU utilization)
  • Self-starter who can work embedded with research teams and move fast
  • Strong systems thinking and pragmatic approach to production reliability

Nice to Haves

  • Experience building custom inference frameworks or serving systems
  • Deep understanding of distributed training and inference patterns (FSDP, data parallelism, tensor parallelism)
  • Ability to debug low-level issues: NCCL networking problems, CUDA errors, memory leaks, performance bottlenecks
  • Experience with diffusion models or video generation systems
  • Knowledge of real-time or latency-sensitive ML applications
