Description
We're looking for an ML Solutions Architect (Early Career) to join the team behind Nebius Token Factory's serverless inference and fine-tuning platform for open-source LLMs. You will work alongside senior Solutions Architects, taking on real technical work – building and testing LLM-based solutions, benchmarking, and inference optimization – and learn how scalable AI applications are built and tuned on our platform, in close collaboration with our backend team.
Responsibilities:
- Help build and test LLM-based solutions and applications using Token Factory's inference services, including multimodal models (text, vision, audio).
- Assist senior SAs with prompt engineering, model selection, benchmarking, and inference optimization.
- Run performance and quality experiments to support proof-of-concept work.
- Contribute to internal tooling and automation that improves how the SA team delivers.
Requirements:
- Currently pursuing or recently completed a BSc/MSc/PhD in Computer Science, Machine Learning, or a related field.
- Strong Python programming skills.
- Hands-on generative AI experience, including with common ML frameworks (e.g., PyTorch, Transformers).
- Strong communication skills, with a willingness to explain technical concepts to diverse audiences.
Nice-to-haves:
- Experience deploying/serving LLMs with vLLM, SGLang, or TensorRT-LLM.
- Familiarity with inference optimization techniques such as quantization, batching, caching, and routing.
- Knowledge of model architectures and fine-tuning approaches.
- Contributions to open-source ML/AI projects.
Preferred technical stack:
- Programming Languages – Python.
- ML Frameworks and Libraries – vLLM, SGLang, TensorRT-LLM, Transformers, OpenAI/Anthropic SDKs.
- Frameworks for Agentic Pipelines – Langchain / Langsmith / smolagents / equivalent.
- API and Web Frameworks – FastAPI, Flask.
- MLOps and DevOps tools – Kubernetes (K8s), Docker, Git.
- Cloud Platforms – AWS (SageMaker, Bedrock), GCP (Vertex AI), Azure (Azure ML).
Benefits:
- Health insurance: 100% company-paid medical, dental, and vision coverage for employees and families.
- 401(k) plan: Up to 4% company match with immediate vesting.
- Parental leave: 20 weeks paid for primary caregivers, 12 weeks for secondary caregivers.
