About the RoleRadixArk is seeking a
Member of Technical Staff - Inference to push the limits of large-scale AI inference.
You will work on the core systems that serve frontier models at scale, optimizing performance, latency, throughput, and cost across thousands of GPUs. This role sits at the intersection of systems engineering, ML infrastructure, and performance optimization.
Your work will directly shape how state-of-the-art models are deployed and experienced by users worldwide.
This is a deeply technical, high-impact role for engineers who enjoy working close to the hardware-software boundary and solving performance-critical problems at scale.
Requirements- 5+ years of experience in systems engineering, ML infrastructure, or performance-critical backend systems
- Strong expertise in large-scale inference systems for LLMs or generative models
- Deep understanding of GPU architecture and performance characteristics
- Experience optimizing latency- and throughput-critical production systems
- Strong knowledge of distributed systems and networking fundamentals
- Proficiency in Python, Rust, C++, or Go for production systems
- Experience profiling and optimizing compute-intensive workloads
- Strong debugging skills across system layers (model, runtime, kernel, network)
Strong Plus- Experience with LLM serving stacks (SGLang, vLLM, TensorRT-LLM, etc.)
- Open-source contributions in ML or systems infrastructure
- Familiarity with CUDA, Triton, or custom kernel optimization
- Experience with batching, KV-cache management, and scheduling strategies
- Experience running inference at scale (1000+ GPUs)
- Background in HPC or high-performance systems
Responsibilities- Design and build large-scale inference systems for frontier AI models
- Optimize latency, throughput, and GPU utilization in production inference
- Develop and improve model serving architectures and runtimes
- Work on batching, scheduling, and memory management strategies
- Collaborate with kernel, compiler, and systems teams on performance optimization
- Debug performance bottlenecks across the stack
- Drive reliability and scalability of inference infrastructure
- Build tooling for observability, profiling, and performance analysis
- Contribute to long-term inference architecture and strategy
