Python Inference Engineer

Company Description

This position is available only under an employment (labor) agreement.  The world’s digital experiences run on something invisible: the infrastructure and software that keep them fast, reliable, and secure. At Gcore, you’ll help design and deliver that foundation for an AI-driven world. 

We’re a global provider of infrastructure and software solutions for AI, cloud, network, and security, powering everything from real-time communication and streaming to enterprise AI and secure web applications. With 210+ edge locations, 50+ cloud regions, and thousands of GPUs, your work here can reach users and businesses across the globe.

You’ll collaborate with leading technology partners such as Intel, NVIDIA, Dell, and Equinix, and work on platforms that power digital products used around the world. Our vision is simple: to connect the world to AI, anywhere, anytime.

Want to work on technology that goes beyond a single product or industry? Join a global team of 550+ professionals building infrastructure and software that supports the entire digital ecosystem.

We are currently looking for a Python Inference Engineer to join our Edge Cloud&AI Team.

Job Description

What You’ll Do

• Build and improve the inference layer of the Gcore Inference platform.
• Integrate and operate inference frameworks such as vLLM, SGLang, NVIDIA Dynamo, and TensorRT-LLM.
• Bring new language and multimodal models into production.
• Improve inference latency, throughput, memory use, GPU utilization, and cost efficiency.
• Debug performance and reliability issues across model code, inference frameworks, GPU execution, networking, and Kubernetes.
• Work with platform, infrastructure, product, and customer-facing teams to turn inference improvements into reliable product features.
• Contribute improvements to open-source inference projects when appropriate.

Qualifications

What We’re Looking For

• 5+ years of experience writing reliable, well-tested production code.
• Strong Python skills and experience designing production systems.
• Hands-on experience with PyTorch and deploying machine learning models.
• Experience with Linux, Docker, and Kubernetes.
• Experience in at least one relevant area: distributed systems, GPU computing, ML runtimes, model optimization, or cluster scheduling.
• Ability to debug complex problems across software, infrastructure, and hardware.
• Strong sense of developer experience: you think about how systems are used, not just how they work.
• Genuine interest in inference engineering. You do not need direct experience with inference engines, but you should be motivated to learn.
• Good communication and collaboration skills.

Nice to Have

• Experience with vLLM, SGLang, NVIDIA Dynamo, TensorRT-LLM, or a similar inference framework.
• Experience running GPU workloads in production.
• Knowledge of inference techniques such as quantization, continuous batching, speculative decoding, prefix caching, chunked prefill, or LoRA serving.
• Experience with CUDA, Triton, TensorRT, or other GPU programming tools.
• Experience profiling and improving model latency, throughput, memory use, or GPU utilization.
• Experience with distributed inference, multi-GPU systems, scheduling, or autoscaling.
• Contributions to open-source ML, inference, or infrastructure projects.
