Role Overview
We are seeking a Technical Lead to own the end-to-end strategy, architecture, and operations of a production-grade LLM inference platform. This role spans commercial partnership management, distributed systems engineering, and platform automation - owning everything from GPU cluster architecture to go-to-market execution on third-party marketplaces.
Key Responsibilities
Platform & Partnership Leadership
- Lead end-to-end launch strategy for LLM inference channels on external marketplaces (e.g., OpenRouter), including business case development, pricing strategy, and partner relationship management
- Own vendor and partner relationships, including routine reviews and pricing negotiations for the inference stack
- Scale channel throughput to production volumes exceeding 10B+ tokens/day
Infrastructure & Platform Engineering
- Design and build custom Kubernetes Operators (CRDs + controllers) to manage LLM inference deployments and benchmark runs as declarative, first-class cluster resources
- Automate model provisioning, GPU placement, and scaling so new models move from config commit to serving traffic without manual intervention
- Architect and operate multi-node distributed inference deployments over InfiniBand
- Implement KV-cache reuse and disaggregated prefilling (e.g., LMCache) to drive significant throughput gains (1.6×+)
- Build GPU autoscaling systems (e.g., KEDA-based) tied to real-time load signals
Performance & Capacity Planning
- Build reproducible benchmarking systems (e.g., on NVIDIA aiperf) exposed as first-class CRDs across the GPU fleet
- Define and measure sustainable throughput per (model, chip) under strict latency SLAs (e.g., TTFT 5s)
- Translate benchmark data and marketplace pricing into break-even tokens/day and required per-replica TPS to drive GPU capacity planning decisions
Observability & Operations
- Build observability systems covering TTFT, TPS, and per-API-key latency across the fleet
- Design and deploy AI-driven operations agents (built on in-house multi-tenant agent runtimes) for automated anomaly detection and root-cause analysis, integrating Prometheus triggers and custom MCP tools
- Drive incident resolution at scale, resolving hundreds of production incidents
Qualifications
- Proven experience architecting and operating distributed GPU inference infrastructure at production scale
- Hands-on expertise with Kubernetes Operator development (CRDs, custom controllers)
- Deep familiarity with LLM serving optimization techniques (KV caching, disaggregated prefilling, autoscaling)
- Experience with performance benchmarking and capacity planning for GPU workloads
- Track record of owning commercial partnerships and pricing strategy for technical platforms
- Experience building or integrating AI agent systems for operational automation
- Strong cross-functional leadership: comfortable operating across infrastructure, product, and business strategy.
