We're looking for our **first Forward Deployed Engineer**. You'll sit directly with our customers' engineering teams and get their workloads onto Impala - from the first scoping conversation to a production endpoint carrying real traffic, at a cost and latency profile they couldn't hit anywhere else.
This is an engineering role. You will write code every day, in customer repos and in ours. It also carries pieces of solutions architecture, product management, and pre-sales, and you should want that mix rather than tolerate it. Ambiguous business goals come in; observable, benchmarked, production services go out.
As the founding FDE you also define the function: what a POC looks like, what we promise and measure, which patterns get productized, and how the field feeds the roadmap. The next FDEs will work from what you build here.
What You'll Do
- **Own customer outcomes end to end:** problem framing, evaluation design, migration, deployment, benchmarking, monitoring. You're the technical owner from first call through expansion.
- **Win the POC:** turn a vague objective into a tight spec and a working proof of concept fast, with explicit quality, latency, throughput, and cost-per-token targets - and hit them.
- **Tune serverless inference for real workloads:** model and engine selection, batching strategy, KV cache behavior, speculative decoding, quantization, parallelism, cold-start and autoscaling behavior under bursty traffic. Diagnose regressions down to the inference engine.
- **Migrate workloads onto Impala:** move customers off OpenAI-compatible APIs, self-managed vLLM, SageMaker, or their own GPU fleets - and prove out the quality and cost delta with numbers.
- **Guide model strategy:** advise on open-weight model selection, distillation, and fine-tuning for specific tasks; help customers get from a general-purpose frontier model to a smaller, faster, cheaper one that holds quality.
- **Close the product loop:** bring the field back into the roadmap - write the PRDs, land the PRs, and turn one-off customer work into platform features.
- **Be the technical anchor in the room:** support sales on complex evaluations, run technical onboarding, earn trust with staff engineers and CTOs.

We are a well-funded, early-stage startup looking for a talented and motivated Backend Engineer specializing in infrastructure to join our founding team.

The MLIL DataPlane team is looking for a Software Development Engineer to own the design and implementation of our inference data plane. We build the software that makes large models run efficiently on custom hardware - spanning model execution, memory management, data movement, and serving integration.
Our work covers the full inference path: integrating serving engines with custom hardware, developing high-performance compute kernels, enabling efficient data movement, and driving models from early validation through production. We operate at frontier scale with large distributed models.
This is a ground-up effort with rapidly evolving hardware and software. We need an individual contributor who can write and optimize low-level code for custom hardware, validate model architectures end-to-end, build test and profiling infrastructure, and drive performance across the stack.

Key job responsibilities
- Develop and optimize compute kernels for a custom ML accelerator architecture, targeting production-level performance for large language model inference.
- Implement and validate LLM architectures end-to-end - from PyTorch model definition through distributed execution on custom hardware.
- Integrate custom accelerator backends into open-source ML serving frameworks (vLLM, PyTorch), including scheduler extensions, memory management, and model parallelism.
- Build and maintain test infrastructure for model correctness validation across CPU, GPU, simulator, and hardware targets.
- Profile and optimize inference workloads - identify bottlenecks, instrument critical paths, and drive latency and throughput improvements from simulation through hardware bringup.
- Own features end-to-end: from design through implementation, testing, and integration into the broader software stack.
- Contribute to CI/CD pipelines that gate model and kernel changes on correctness and performance regressions.

This role sits at the intersection of AI and high-performance systems engineering, focused on solving real-world problems under strict constraints. You will work on systems where performance and reliability are critical and where improvements have a direct, measurable impact on real-world safety.

This is a senior, systems-focused role with end-to-end ownership over performance and reliability of production computer vision pipelines. You will define optimization strategies, identify bottlenecks across the system, and drive improvements under real-world constraints.

Identify and resolve bottlenecks across CPU, GPU, memory, and pipeline coordination.
Make and justify tradeoffs between latency, accuracy, stability, and resource utilization.
Design and implement robust data and inference pipelines (video -> model -> actionable output for crew).
Develop benchmarking and evaluation workflows to measure performance end-to-end and support release gating.
Build and improve observability tools, including logging, monitoring, and debugging workflows for production systems.
Define and maintain clear interfaces between research code and production systems.
Work closely with research and backend teams to integrate new models into production systems.
Continuously improve system efficiency and reliability under hardware and runtime constraints.
