## About the role

We are seeking an ML Systems Engineer to optimize the performance and efficiency of large language model inference powering our agentic AI platform. This is a technical role focused on low-level systems optimization. You will implement performance optimizations, build evaluation harnesses, and architect multi-node clusters for training and inference that push the limits of LLM throughput and latency.

## What they're looking for

- B.S., M.S., or PhD in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or related field (or equivalent experience)
- Experience with large-scale ML systems, GPU computing, or high-performance inference optimization
- Strong proficiency in Python and C++/CUDA, hands-on experience with SGLang, vLLM, PyTorch, or similar inference frameworks
- Deep understanding of GPU architecture, memory hierarchies, and parallel computing paradigms
- Experience deploying and optimizing LLMs in production: model serving, batching strategies, distributed inference, or quantization
- Strong systems-level debugging and profiling skills, comfort working at multiple layers of the stack from CUDA kernels to application logic
