  • Deploy efficient inference pipelines for serving LLMs at scale

Requirements:

  • B.S. or M.S. in Computer Science or related areas

  • Practical experience with deep learning: internships, undergrad or masters’ level research projects in an academic lab, Kaggle competitions, or interesting side projects

  • Strong programming skills in Python and modern ML frameworks

  • Excellent understanding of transformers and LLM fundamentals

  • Comfort working across research and engineering boundaries

Nice to have

  • Experience with NVIDIA GPU programming and CUDA

  • Experience with distributed training frameworks, such as DeepSpeed, FSDL, Ray

  • Experience with inference frameworks like vLLM

  • Experience with large-scale data processing (Spark, Beam) and orchestration (Airflow)
