Member of Technical Staff – AI Inference platform

You will make Lyceum's AI inference platform reliable, secure, and scalable - ensuring it performs under pressure as we grow to thousands of concurrent users. While others on the team expand what the platform can do, your job is to make sure it keeps working, fails gracefully, and gets faster over time.

Architect and implement the systems that allow our inference platform to scale to thousands of concurrent users. This includes request routing, load balancing, autoscaling, and resource scheduling across GPU clusters.

Build robust monitoring, alerting, and incident response tooling. Design for graceful degradation, automatic recovery, and minimal downtime.

Profile and optimise the full inference path from request ingestion through model execution to response delivery. Identify and eliminate bottlenecks at every layer.

Evaluate and integrate open-source inference frameworks and tooling (Dynamo, vLLM, Triton, etc.) where they improve throughput, latency, or stability of the serving stack.

• Platform uptime and availability (SLA adherence)
• P50/P95/P99 latency and throughput under load
• Time-to-detection and time-to-resolution for incidents
• Scalability milestones (concurrent users, requests per second, GPU utilisation)

We consider candidates from diverse backgrounds, with a deep love for technical challenges and the desire to take on ownership beyond what's reasonably expected.

• 3+ years of experience in backend, infrastructure, or systems engineering
• Strong proficiency in Go and Python
• Experience building or operating a model serving platform or ML platform
• Solid understanding of systems performance - profiling, benchmarking, and optimising latency and throughput
• Familiarity with observability tooling (Prometheus, Grafana, Open Telemetry, or similar)
• Understanding of security fundamentals - network isolation, authentication, encryption, multi-tenancy

• Experience with NVIDIA Dynamo or similar inference orchestration/routing frameworks
• Hands-on experience with GPU serving infrastructure (vLLM, Triton, TensorRT-LLM)
• Experience with Kubernetes in a production environment (deployment, networking, resource management)
• Experience operating at scale (10k+ RPS, multi-region, multi-cluster)
• Comfortable working on-call or in incident response when things break

• Outstanding team:
  Work with some of the best engineers in the world, coming from hedge funds, big tech, AI startups and top universities.
• Once in a lifetime opportunity:
  Early-stage company in the fastest-growing market in the world
• Ownership:
  Shape how European AI companies access GPU compute
• European mission:
  Build sovereign, GDPR-compliant AI infrastructure for the next generation of deep-tech
