## About the role

Our inference stack is central to everything we ship. You'll be a core part of the team responsible for the engine layer that runs our models in production and in partner environments, and for the benchmarking infrastructure we use to evaluate our own work and verify what partners bring to us. Day to day, that means working closely with research and product, but also directly with external engineering teams.

## What they're looking for

- Hands-on experience with at least one inference framework like llama.cpp, ONNX Runtime, or MLX, going beyond basic usage into internals and modification
- Experience designing and building benchmarking pipelines, including methodology, validation, and reproducibility
- Strong C++ and Python in performance-sensitive contexts
- Solid understanding of inference fundamentals: quantization, decoding strategies, memory layout, and how they interact
