About Mirendil

Mirendil — a frontier lab building systems that excel at AI R&D. Backed by Kleiner Perkins.

About the role

We are looking for an engineer to own the inference systems that power our models in production and research. You'll work across the full inference stack, from serving infrastructure down to hardware-level optimization. Some example areas you might work on (not limited to): Design and build high-throughput, low-latency inference serving systems for frontier models, optimizing for both research iteration and production deployment

More about this role

Mirendil is a tech-first company focused on solving core bottlenecks that unlock step-change acceleration across science and technology. Our first goal is to democratize frontier AI R&D across scientific disciplines. We are building a frontier AI research company and training our own models end-to-end.

We are looking for an engineer to own the inference systems that power our models in production and research. You'll work across the full inference stack, from serving infrastructure down to hardware-level optimization. Some example areas you might work on (not limited to):

Design and build high-throughput, low-latency inference serving systems for frontier models, optimizing for both research iteration and production deployment

Optimize inference performance across GPU and accelerator hardware - maximizing FLOPs utilization, memory bandwidth, and compute efficiency for large-scale models

Enable and extend distributed inference frameworks (e.g. vLLM, SGLang, TensorRT-LLM) to support novel architectures, long-context workloads, and agentic inference patterns

Implement and validate inference-time optimizations: speculative decoding, quantization, KV cache management, and batching...
