About The Role

The NEAR AI team is building decentralized and confidential machine learning infrastructure to enable user-owned AI. Our mission is to build highly scalable and efficient infrastructure for open-source AI at a global scale.

We are specifically seeking an expert in high-performance LLM serving systems and inference optimization. In this role, you will push the boundaries of how large language models are served.

What You'll Be Doing

  • Architect and maintain production high-traffic LLM serving systems.
  • Optimize throughput, latency, and cost for leading open-source LLMs.

What We're Looking For

  • Strong hands-on experience in LLM inference, with expertise debugging and optimizing major inference engines such as SGLang, vLLM, or TensorRT.
  • Deep knowledge of state-of-the-art GPU architectures, and effectively exploit them using PyTorch, Triton, CuTe, CUDA, etc.
  • Proven track record in designing and maintaining end-to-end high-traffic LLM serving systems.
  • Strong problem-solving skills and ability to communicate technical ideas clearly.

We'd Love If You Have

  • Experience with Trusted Execution Environments (TEE).
  • Active contributor to open-source LLM inference engines.

Please let us know if you require any special requirements for your interview and we'll do our best to accommodate.
