Description

We are seeking a Senior System Software Engineer to work on Dynamo, a Generative AI inference platform. As a Senior System Software Engineer, you will develop open source software to serve inference of trained AI models running on GPUs.

Responsibilities:

  • Contribute to the development of disaggregated serving for Dynamo-supported inference engines (vLLM, SGLang, TRT-LLM) and expand these capabilities to support agentic inference workloads.
  • Innovate in inference-state management for long-running agents, including KV- and prefix-cache reuse and transfer across heterogeneous memory and storage hierarchies.
  • Build and evolve Dynamo’s distributed inference frontend across vLLM, SGLang, and TensorRT-LLM.
  • Balance a variety of objectives: build robust, scalable, high performance software components, work with team leads to prioritize features and capabilities, load-balance asynchronous requests across available resources, optimize throughput under latency constraints, and integrate the latest open source technology.

Requirements:

  • Master's or PhD or equivalent experience.
  • 10+ years in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or related field.
  • Ability to work in a fast-paced, agile team environment.
  • Excellent Rust/Python programming and software design skills.
  • Understanding of modern LLM API semantics.

Preferred qualifications:

  • Prior contributions to open-source AI inference frameworks.
  • Experience optimizing GPU memory, KV and prefix caches, or high-performance networking for long-context, reasoning, and tool-calling workloads.
  • Understanding of LLM-specific inference challenges for agentic workloads.
  • Prior experience integrating self-hosted LLM serving stacks with agent harnesses.
