What are the responsibilities and job description for the Distributed LLM Inference Engineer position at Anyscale?
About Anyscale
At Anyscale, we're on a mission to democratize distributed computing and make it accessible to software developers of all skill levels. We’re commercializing Ray, a popular open-source project that's creating an ecosystem of libraries for scalable machine learning. Companies like OpenAI, Uber, Spotify, Instacart, Cruise, and many more, have Ray in their tech stacks to accelerate the progress of AI applications out into the real world.
With Anyscale, we’re building the best place to run Ray, so that any developer or data scientist can scale an ML application from their laptop to the cluster without needing to be a distributed systems expert.
Proud to be backed by Andreessen Horowitz, NEA, and Addition with $250 million raised to date.
About The Role
As a Distributed LLM Inference Engineer, you will help systems and optimizations that push the boundaries of performance for inference at large scale. This is an incredibly critical role to Anyscale as it allows us to achieve a market leading position for AI infrastructure.
As part of this role, you will
At Anyscale, we take a market-based approach to compensation. We are data-driven, transparent, and consistent. As the market data changes over time, the target salary for this role may be adjusted.
This role is also eligible to participate in Anyscale's Equity and Benefits offerings, including the following:
