Software Engineer, Backend

Sciforium is an AI infrastructure company developing next-generation multimodal AI models and a proprietary, high-efficiency serving platform. Backed by multi-million-dollar funding and direct sponsorship from AMD with hands-on support from AMD engineers the team is scaling rapidly to build the full stack powering frontier AI models and real-time applications.

We offer a fast-moving, collaborative environment where engineers have meaningful impact, learn quickly, and tackle deep technical challenges across the AI systems stack.

Role Overview

This role offers a unique opportunity to work on the core systems that power Sciforium’s multimodal AI models. You’ll help build the model serving platform working across C , Python, runtime execution, and distributed infrastructure to create a fast, reliable engine for real-time AI applications.

You’ll gain hands-on experience with performance engineering, learn how large AI models are optimized and deployed at scale, and collaborate closely with ML researchers and experienced systems engineers. If you enjoy low-level programming, care deeply about performance, and want exposure to the full AI stack, this role provides both high-impact work and strong growth potential.

Key Responsibilities

• Build the model serving platform, including API, Control Plane, Billing, Monitoring, and distributed inference features.
• Collaborate with ML researchers to integrate new multimodal models into production workflows.
• Write reliable, maintainable code with strong testing and documentation practices.
• Provide operational support for keeping our production services highly performant, available and reliable
• Help troubleshoot complex issues across runtime, service, and GPU layers, working closely with other engineers.
  
  

Must-Haves

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical field (or equivalent practical experience)
• 3 years of software engineering experience, with a focus on infrastructure or machine learning systems.
• Strong proficiency in C /Python/Go/Rust
• Experience in building large scale ML/MLOps infrastructure
• Strong collaboration and communication skills, with the ability to work effectively across engineering and ML teams.
• Comfortable working from the office and contributing to a fast-moving, high-ownership team culture.
  
  

Nice to Have
