Job responsibilities:
- Own the end-to-end build of an AI model service platform, starting from zero, engineered to grow into a system that can reliably serve user bases in the hundreds of thousands to millions.

- Hands-on experience with cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP, or Alibaba Cloud)

- Familiarity with AI/LLM APIs (OpenAI, Anthropic, Qwen, etc.) and inference frameworks (e.g., vLLM, Triton, TGI)
- Experience building systems that scale to high user volumes
- Understanding of load balancing, service routing, and distributed systems
- Good communication skills; able to work with cross-functional teams (Agent, hardware, product)
