About the role

  • The Role We're looking for engineers and scientists to design, optimize, and scale the systems that power our diffusion LLMs in production. Your work will make inference faster, more cost-effective, and more reliable. Key Responsibilities Build and optimize high-performance model serving systems for low-latency inference of diffusion LLMs. Extend
  • orchestration frameworks (Kubernetes, Ray, SLURM) for distributed inference, evaluation, and large-batch serving. 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

Responsibilities

  • Build and optimize high-performance model serving systems for low-latency inference of 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 compliance and rapid incident response.
  • Collaborate with ML researchers to translate model advances (new architectures, quantization techniques, batching strategies) into production-ready serving improvements.

Requirements

  • Experience with model optimization techniques (quantization, distillation, speculative decoding, continuous batching).

Nice to have

  • Your work will make inference faster, more cost-effective, and more reliable.
  • Extend orchestration frameworks (Kubernetes, Ray, SLURM) for distributed inference, evaluation, and large-batch serving.
  • BS/MS/PhD in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent experience).
  • Knowledge of ML serving frameworks (SGLang, vLLM, Triton Inference Server, TensorRT-LLM).
  • Understanding of ML frameworks (PyTorch, TensorFlow) from a systems perspective.
  • Familiarity with high-performance computing and GPU programming (CUDA).
  • Experience with containerization (Docker), orchestration (Kubernetes), and CI/CD pipelines.
  • Background in performance optimization and profiling of ML systems.
