We are part of ByteDance’s Core Compute Infrastructure organization, responsible for designing and operating the platforms that power microservices, big data, distributed storage, machine learning training and inference, and edge computing across multi-cloud and global datacenters.\nWith ByteDance's rapidly growing businesses and a global fleet of machines running hundreds of millions of containers daily, we are building the next generation of cloud-native, GPU-optimized orchestration systems. Our mission is to deliver infrastructure that is highly performant, massively scalable, cost-efficient, and easy to use-enabling both internal and external developers to bring AI workloads from research to production at scale.\nWe are expanding our focus on LLM inference infrastructure to support new AI workloads, and are looking for engineers passionate about cloud-native systems, scheduling, and GPU acceleration. You’ll work in a hyper-scale environment, collaborate with world-class engineers, contribute to the open-source community, and help shape the future of AI inference infrastructure globally.\nWe are looking for talented individuals to join us for an internship. PhD internships at Our Company provide students with the opportunity to actively contribute to our products and research, as well as to the organization's future plans and emerging technologies.\nOur dynamic internship experience blends hands-on learning, enriching community-building and professional development events, and collaboration with industry experts.\nApplications will be reviewed on a rolling basis, so we encourage you to apply early. Please clearly state your availability in your resume (Start date, End date).\nResponsibilities\n- Design and build large-scale, container-based cluster management and orchestration systems with extreme performance, scalability, and resilience.\n- Architect next-generation cloud-native GPU and AI accelerator infrastructure to deliver cost-efficient and secure ML platforms.\n- Collaborate across teams to deliver world-class inference solutions using vLLM, SGLang, TensorRT-LLM, and other LLM engines.\n- Stay current with the latest advances in open source (Kubernetes, Ray, etc.), AI/ML and LLM infrastructure, and systems research; integrate best practices into production systems.\n- Write high-quality, production-ready code that is maintainable, testable, and scalable.\n任职要求 / Requirements\nMinimum Qualifications\n- Currently pursuing a PhD in Computer Science or related discipline. , or related fields with 2+ years of relevant experience (Ph.D. with strong systems/ML publications also considered).\n-Able to commit to working for 12 weeks during Summer 2027\n- Strong understanding of large model inference, distributed and parallel systems, and/or high-performance networking systems.\n- Hands-on experience building cloud or ML infrastructure in areas such as resource management, scheduling, request routing, monitoring, or orchestration.\n- Solid knowledge of container and orchestration technologies (Docker, Kubernetes).\n- Proficiency in at least one major programming language (Go, Rust, Python, or C++).\nPreferred Qualifications\n- Experience contributing to or operating large-scale cluster management systems (e.g., Kubernetes, Ray).\n- Experience with workload scheduling, GPU orchestration, scaling, and isolation in production environments.\n- Hands-on experience with GPU programming (CUDA) or inference engines (vLLM, SGLang, TensorRT-LLM).\n- Familiarity with public cloud providers (AWS, Azure, GCP) and their ML platforms (SageMaker, Azure ML, Vertex AI).\n- Strong knowledge of ML systems (Ray, DeepSpeed, PyTorch) and distributed training/inference platforms.\n- Excellent communication skills and ability to collaborate across global, cross-functional teams.\n- Passion for system efficiency, performance optimization, and open-source innovation.","description_format":"text","description_chars":4076,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":2,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"phd","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Professional
