AI Infrastructure Engineer

Real-time inference and serving. Design, deploy, and operate low-latency streaming inference systems on AWS for LLM, ASR, TTS, and multimodal models. Optimize time to first token/audio, p95/p99 end-to-end latency, real-time factor, throughput, concurrency, GPU utilization, and cost per stream using technologies such as vLLM, SGLang, TensorRT-LLM, Triton, TensorRT.

Training environment. Support and evolve the research team’s AWS-based training environment, including reproducible containers, GPU job scheduling, distributed job execution, checkpoint and resume capabilities, experiment tracking, model and data artifact access, and researcher self-service. Enable workloads using FSDP, DeepSpeed, Megatron-LM, Slurm, EKS, or SageMaker.

ML/LLMOps. Build model and artifact registries, lineage and versioning, automated evaluation gates, deployment pipelines, shadow and canary releases, rollback workflows, runtime and configuration management, and production observability

Edge AI infrastructure. Partner with researchers and device and embedded teams to build repeatable model optimization, packaging, validation, and deployment workflows for resource-constrained edge targets. Support model export and compilation, post-training quantization, runtime integration.

Reliability and security. Own capacity planning, production readiness, incident response, disaster recovery, and the secure operation of the AI platform. Apply least-privilege IAM, KMS encryption, private networking, secrets management.

The most successful people at Propio aren't necessarily the ones with the longest resumes. They're the people who:

Take ownership instead of waiting for direction.

Embrace challenges as opportunities to grow.

Continuously seek better ways of working.

Turn ideas into action.

Hold themselves and others accountable to high standards.

Are driven by making a measureable impact.

Required Qualifications:

3+ years of experience building and operating AI/ML infrastructure, inference platforms, or distributed systems in production.

Hands-on production experience with AWS, particularly EKS, EC2 GPU workloads, ECR, S3, IAM/KMS, VPC networking, and CloudWatch and/or OpenTelemetry.

Hands-on experience with at least one inference stack, such as vLLM, SGLang, TensorRT-LLM, Triton, KServe, or Ray Serve.

Experience operating ML/LLM systems in production, including model serving, autoscaling, monitoring, incident response, and performance benchmarking.

Familiarity with GPU infrastructure and at least one serving stack, such as vLLM, SGLang, TensorRT-LLM, or Triton.

A working understanding of LLM Ops practices, including evaluation, observability and tracing, cost control, and versioning.

Preferred Qualifications:

Low-latency, real-time, or streaming inference experience, especially for audio/speech—directly relevant to interpretation.

Experience with real-time audio pipelines and streaming protocols, including WebRTC, WebSocket, and gRPC streaming.

Experience supporting distributed training environments using FSDP, DeepSpeed, Megatron-LM, Slurm, EKS, or SageMaker HyperPod.

Inference optimization experience, including quantization, KV-cache optimization, speculative decoding, and continuous batching.

Experience building Edge AI deployment toolchains using ONNX Runtime, TensorRT/Jetson, ExecuTorch, llama.cpp, MLC-LLM, or similar runtimes.

Experience with SRE practices, capacity planning, production incident response, and secure infrastructure for PHI/PII.

Contributions to relevant open-source infrastructure, serving, observability, or edge-runtime projects.
