About the role
- The Role We seek experienced backend engineers to own the systems that serve our diffusion LLMs in production. You'll build and operate infrastructure that handles billions of inference requests — optimizing for latency, throughput, cost, and reliability. This role sits at the intersection of ML systems and backend infrastructure. Key Responsibilities
- Design, build, and operate scalable backend services and model serving infrastructure for our diffusion LLMs. Implement and manage load balancing, autoscaling, and traffic routing for model endpoints. Build systems for model versioning, canary deployments, and zero-downtime rollouts. Develop monitoring, alerting, and observability tooling to ensure SLA
