Morph builds the inference infrastructure behind the fastest open models. Our stack spans kernels, model serving, routing, autoscaling, and capacity. We are hiring a performance engineer to make the entire system faster, cheaper, and more reliable.

What you’ll do

  • Find the gap between theoretical hardware performance and production performance
  • Trace latency and throughput regressions from the API layer down to individual kernels
  • Optimize batching, scheduling, routing, quantization, and distributed execution
  • Build benchmarks and observability that make bottlenecks obvious
  • Validate that every optimization preserves model quality and correctness
  • Stack-rank opportunities and ship the highest-impact fixes yourself

You might be a fit if you

  • Have optimized complex production systems
  • Understand GPU performance, memory bandwidth, collectives, and inference serving
  • Are strong in Python and comfortable navigating unfamiliar codebases
  • Can turn profiling data into clear engineering decisions
  • Care about tokens per second, tokens per dollar, and correctness equally

You will work directly with the founders on problems that determine how efficiently frontier-scale models can be served. Small team, enormous compute, immediate production impact.
