AI Research Engineer – Kernel and Inference Optimization, Remote Europe

Optimize GPU kernels, model serving, and inference systems for Tether’s blockchain-powered digital finance platform. Improve latency, throughput, and memory efficiency across mobile and edge devices.

Description

  • Design and deploy model-serving architectures that maximize throughput, minimize latency, and use memory efficiently.
  • Improve inference performance across resource-constrained devices and edge platforms.
  • Set performance targets for latency, token response times, and memory footprint.
  • Build, execute, and monitor controlled inference tests in simulated and production environments.
  • Monitor latency, throughput, memory usage, and error-rate performance indicators.
  • Record iterative findings and compare results with established cross-platform benchmarks.
  • Develop test datasets and simulation scenarios for low-resource deployment conditions.
  • Evaluate computational efficiency and identify bottlenecks in serving pipelines.
  • Optimize batching, network delays, memory use, scalability, and reliability.
  • Work with cross-functional teams to integrate optimized serving and inference frameworks into production edge and on-device pipelines.
  • Establish success metrics, monitor performance continuously, and refine solutions iteratively.

Requirements

  • Degree in Computer Science or a related discipline.
  • PhD in NLP, Machine Learning, or a related field is preferred.
  • Demonstrated AI research and development experience, including strong publications at A* conferences.
  • Working knowledge of Metal Shading Language (MSL).
  • Ability to create custom compute shaders from the ground up.
  • Experience optimizing low-level kernels and inference on mobile devices.
  • Evidence of improving inference latency, throughput, and memory footprint for domain-specific applications.
  • Advanced understanding of modern model-serving architectures and inference optimization methods.
  • Strong experience writing GPU kernels for smartphones and other mobile devices.
  • Advanced knowledge of model-serving frameworks and inference engines.
  • Hands-on experience developing and deploying end-to-end inference pipelines on resource-constrained devices.
  • Ability to apply empirical research to serving challenges involving latency, computational bottlenecks, and memory limits.
  • Proficiency in designing evaluation frameworks and iterating on optimization approaches.
  • Experience with distributed inference systems, including tensor, pipeline, and expert parallelism.
  • Advanced understanding of the mathematics and architecture of Diffusion Models and Vision Transformers.
  • Knowledge of pruning, quantization, Flash Attention, KV cache, and speculative decoding with Eagle.

Benefits

  • Work remotely from anywhere in the world.
  • Collaborate with an international team.
  • Contribute to fintech, blockchain, artificial intelligence, and digital finance products.
