Senior Solution Architect, Applied AI

We are seeking a Tech Lead to lead our AI Inference team. In this role, you will bridge the gap between complex research and production-grade engineering, while cultivating a high-performing team culture. You will lead and grow a squad of 3 developers, balancing hands-on technical contribution with strong people leadership — setting direction, unblocking your team, and driving execution on high-performance systems that optimize Large Language Model (LLM) serving. The ideal candidate combines deep technical expertise in inference and scale with the leadership maturity to mentor, motivate, and develop engineers in the evolving ecosyste m of serving frameworks like vLLM and LMCache. What You'll Work On Lead & Own: Take end-to-end ownership of AMG's core inference infrastructure — from the NVMe Token Warehouse and GDS data paths to the vLLM/LMCache serving stack — driving technical decisions and delivery outcomes. Technical Direction: Guide a team of engineers through design, implementation, and delivery of high-throughput, low-latency LLM inference systems, setting high standards for code quality, architecture, and reliability. Build at Scale: Stay hands-on across the AMG stack (Python, C++, CUDA, vLLM, NIXL/Dynamo, Kubernetes), contributing directly to production systems while providing technical leadership to the team. Solve Hard Problems: Tackle the real frontier challenges of inference engineering — disaggregated prefill/decode, persistent off-HBM KV caching, RDMA-based
