- 3 years of experience in software engineering, with a focus on infrastructure or machine learning systems
- Strong programming skills in Python, Go, or a similar language
- Proven experience in ML infrastructure and tooling (e.g., PyTorch, MLflow, Vertex AI, SageMaker, Kubernetes, etc.).
- Basic understanding of LLM knowledge (e.g., context length, disaggregated prefill, KV cache memory estimation, etc)
Preferred Qualifications:
- 5+ years of experience in software engineering, with a focus on infrastructure or machine learning systems
- Experience with open source inference engine like vLLM, Sglang, or TRT-LLM
- Contributions to open-source infrastructure or ML projects
