Inferact is a startup founded by creators and core maintainers of vLLM, the most popular open-source LLM inference engine. Our mission is to grow vLLM as the world. Backed by Sequoia and Redpoint.
About the role
We're looking for an cloud orchestration engineer to build the operational backbone that keeps vLLM running reliably at massive scale. You'll design the systems for cluster management, deployment automation, and production monitoring that enable teams worldwide to serve AI models without friction. You'll ensure that vLLM deployments are observable, debuggable, and recoverable, turning operational complexity into infrastructure that just works.
What they're looking for
- Bachelor's degree or equivalent experience in computer science, engineering, or similar
- Strong experience with Kubernetes and container orchestration at scale
- Experience designing and implementing custom Kubernetes operators
- Proficiency in Python/Rust/Go and infrastructure-as-code tools (Terraform, Helm, etc)
- Experience managing GPU clusters and debugging hardware issues
- Ability to work across cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, Azure) and on-premise infrastructure
