Why Cast AI? Cast AI is an automation platform that operates cloud-native and AI infrastructure at scale. By embedding autonomous decision-making directly into Kubernetes and cloud environments, Cast AI continuously optimizes performance, reliability, and efficiency in production. The old way doesn't work. As Kubernetes and AI environments grow, manual decisions don’t. Cast AI replaces tickets, alerts, and manual tuning with continuous automation that adapts infrastructure as conditions change. Efficiency and cost savings follow naturally from that automation. Over 2,100 companies already rely on Cast AI, including Akamai, BMW, Cisco, FICO, HuggingFace, NielsenIQ, Swisscom, and TGS. Global team, diverse perspectives We're headquartered in Miami, but our impact is international. We take a global and intentional approach to diversity. Today, Cast AI operates across 34 countries spanning Europe, North America, Latin America, and APAC, bringing a wide range of perspectives into how we build and lead. Unicorn momentum In January 2026, we achieved unicorn status with a strategic investment from Pacific Alliance Ventures, the corporate venture arm of Shinsegae Group (a $50+ billion Korean conglomerate). Our valuation now exceeds $1 billion, and we're just getting started. Join us as we build the future of autonomous infrastructure. About the role Throughput. Latency. KV cache utilization. Move those three numbers in the right direction, and two things happen: customers get faster, cheaper inference, and our margins improve. That's the entire thesis of this role. Every kernel you tune, every quantization scheme you ship, every scheduler tweak you land shows up directly in a customer's p99 and on our P&L. This is a high-impact seat. It is also a high-autonomy seat as you'll be given the room to lead the technical direction of inference optimization at Kimchi, not execute someone else's roadmap. The problem: running LLMs in production is a moving target. The "right" model and serving configuration for a workload depend on traffic shape, sequence-length distribution, batch dynamics, GPU SKU, memory bandwidth, quantization tolerance, and a dozen other variables that shift week to week. Most teams pick a model once, over-provision GPUs, and absorb the cost. Kimchi is the system that makes that decision automatically - continuously matching workloads to the most cost-efficient, best-performing LLM and serving configuration on a customer's infrastructure. We're building the optimization layer between the model and the hardware, and we need engineers who understand both sides deeply. Stack Python; vLLM; SGLang; TensorRT-LLM; PyTorch; CUDA-adjacent tooling; Kubernetes; gRP; ClickHouse; PostgreSQL; GCP Pub/Sub; AWS / GCP / Azure; GitLab CI; ArgoCD; Prometheus; Grafana; Loki; Tempo. Requirements: 5+ years building real ML systems, with a portfolio that shows depth in inference or training infrastructure (not just model training notebooks). Strong Python - production services, not scripts. Hands-on experience with at least one of vLLM, SGLang, or TensorRT-LLM, and a working mental model of why an inference engine performs the way it does on a given GPU. Fluency with quantization tradeoffs - you've measured quality regressions, not just compression ratios. Comfort with distributed systems: collective communication, sharding strategies, and the practical failure modes of multi-GPU and multi-node setups. A bias toward measurement. You instrument before you optimize, and you can tell the difference between a real win and a benchmark artifact. Self-direction. This role comes with a wide mandate; you should be excited by that, not unsettled by it. Responsibilities: Push throughput. Continuous batching, speculative decoding, chunked prefill, kernel-level tuning across vLLM, SGLang, and TensorRT-LLM. Find the ceiling on each GPU SKU, then raise it. Cut latency. Attack TTFT a
