Summary

We are looking for a Senior Python / AI API Engineer to build and deploy production-grade services powering Large Language Model (LLM) applications. This role focuses on developing high-performance APIs for model inference, optimizing GPU workloads, and deploying AI services in cloud environments.

This is an engineering-focused role, not research. We are looking for someone who has built and shipped AI systems into production and understands the challenges of scalable inference and model serving.

Key Responsibilities

Develop high-performance APIs using Python (3.10+) and FastAPI
Build and deploy LLM inference services using HuggingFace Transformers and PyTorch
Optimize GPU workloads and CUDA memory usage
Implement streaming inference APIs for real-time model responses
Containerize and deploy services using Docker and GPU-enabled infrastructure
Deploy AI workloads in Azure environments (AKS, ACI, or Container Apps)

Required Skills

Strong Python development experience (3.10+)
Hands-on experience building production APIs with FastAPI
Experience with HuggingFace Transformers and PyTorch
Solid understanding of REST API design
Experience deploying containerized applications with Docker
