  • Build and maintain core backend services such as LLM CI/CD pipeline, control plane, and model serving systems

  • Support performance optimization, cost efficiency, and reliability improvements across compute, storage, and networking layers

  • Building frameworks and safeguards to ensure Fireworks AI has the best model quality in the industry

  • Collaborate with performance, training, and product teams to translate research and product needs into infrastructure solutions

  • Participate in code reviews, technical discussions, and continuous integration and deployment processes

  • 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

  • Experience in building large scale ML/MLOps infrastructure
