The role
You will build and optimize systems to bring frontier biological AI models into production. The role focuses on delivering inference performance for large-scale genome and multimodal biological models.
What you will do
- Drive end-to-end performance improvements across the inference stack.
- Develop high-performance inference primitives including GPU kernels and serving infrastructure.
- Partner with external customers and collaborators to deploy models in production.
- Build scalable deployment infrastructure for serving, monitoring, and benchmarking foundation models.
- Collaborate with research and platform teams to deploy new model architectures at scale.
Required qualifications
- Experience optimizing, deploying, and operating LLMs or other foundation models in production environments.
- Deep understanding of GPU architectures.
- Experience with CUDA, Triton, or equivalent technologies for building high-performance numerical software.
- Ability to diagnose and solve bottlenecks across the full stack.
- Proficiency in Python and modern ML frameworks such as PyTorch.
- Experience working closely with users, customers, or cross-functional stakeholders.
- Ability to collaborate effectively across research, engineering, infrastructure, and scientific teams.
Nice to have
- Experience with inference frameworks such as vLLM, TensorRT-LLM, SGLang, DeepSpeed, or similar systems.
- Contributions to open-source AI infrastructure, inference frameworks, compilers, or kernel libraries.
- Experience with distributed systems, cloud infrastructure, and large-scale GPU clusters.
- Familiarity with biological foundation models, computational biology, genomics, or scientific AI applications.
- Experience operating AI systems in regulated, secure, or mission-critical environments
