Inference Performance Engineer — Turbocharge LLM Inference
Jobleads-US
Baseten is seeking an Inference Performance Engineer to accelerate AI workloads across the stack—from the inference engine to scheduling, serving, and routing. You will apply techniques like prefill/disaggregation, speculative decoding, and KV-cache management to shrink latency and cut costs, impacting how fast customers run models.
Join a fast-paced startup that values hands-on impact, cross-team collaboration, and contributions to open-source inference engines while enabling production-grade
