Member of Technical Staff, TPU Performance Engineering
Inferact's mission is to grow vLLM as the world's AI inference engine and accelerate AI progress by making inference cheaper and faster. Founded by the creators and core maintainers of vLLM, we sit at the intersection of models and hardware, a position that took years to build.
About the Role
We're looking for a TPU performance engineer to make vLLM a first-class inference engine on Google TPUs. You'll build and optimize TPU backends, compiler integrations, runtime paths, and benchmarking infrastructure using JAX, XLA, Pallas, and related tooling so vLLM can deliver frontier inference performance on TPU hardware.
You'll work at the boundary of inference systems, kernels, compilers, and hardware architecture, improving production-relevant model serving on TPU with clear correctness, latency, and throughput benchmarks. Your work will help make TPU support in vLLM usable, fast, benchmarked, and maintainable.
Skills and Qualifications
Minimum qualifications:
