We believe open-source models are the future, and companies should have full control over their AI stack without being locked into proprietary providers.\nOur inference platform serves trillions of tokens every week across hundreds of production workloads. We build everything from GPU infrastructure to the API layer because every millisecond matters.\nWe are looking for strong Software Engineers to join our team.\nWhy this role matters\nYou’ll work on designing, building, and scaling infrastructure for serving top open-source AI models in production. This role is ideal for engineers who are already comfortable owning problems end-to-end and want to deepen their experience working on high-impact AI systems.\nIf you’re excited about AI/ML, have built and shipped projects, and are looking to work on real systems at scale - we’d love to meet you.\nWhat You’ll Do\nDesign, develop, and test inference solutions for state-of-the-art AI models\nImplement, optimize, and evaluate AI models using Python, C++, CUDA, and NCCL\nOwn and operate production model-serving systems, including monitoring and debugging\nBuild new features, improve system performance, and contribute to overall system design\nParticipate in code reviews and technical discussions to maintain high engineering standards\nExplore and apply new AI/ML techniques to improve model performance and efficiency\nTake ideas from concept to production\nWhat You Bring\nBachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a related field\n 1-4 years of relevant experience, including early full-time roles or research\nStrong fundamentals in data structures, algorithms, and software design\nProficiency in Python and experience working with AI/ML frameworks (e.g., PyTorch, TensorFlow)\nHands-on experience building, shipping, and maintaining software systems\nFamiliarity with AI models, Transformers, and Diffusers\nExperience working with version control (Git) and collaborative development workflows\nAbility to debug, optimize, and improve existing systems\nStrong communication skills and ability to work independently in a fast-paced environment\nBonus\nExperience with C++, CUDA, or AI inference\nContributions to open-source ML projects\nWhy DeepInfra\nWork on cutting-edge AI model serving - the systems that power the next generation of LLMs and multimodal models.\nSmall team, huge impact: your work ships directly to customers.\nOpportunity to learn from engineers building high-performance inference at scale.\nFast-paced environment with ownership, autonomy, and end-to-end responsibility.\nHow we work\nThree traits define the people who thrive here, and this role leans on all three.\nInitiative. We take ownership and step in where we can add value. Whether it’s starting something new, improving what exists, or helping move ideas forward, we aim to be proactive and thoughtful in how we contribute.\nDrive. We’re energized by hard problems. Building AI infrastructure is complex, and we lean into that. We care about doing things well, moving fast, and continuously improving - because solving meaningful challenges is what motivates us.\nGrit. Things don’t always work on the first try - and that’s expected. We stay persistent, adapt quickly, and learn as we go. We take setbacks seriously, but not personally, and use them to get better.\nCompensation\nThe base pay range for this role is $150,000 - $195,000 per year.","description_format":"text","description_chars":3489,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":1,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["AI Compute & Inference"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-03-25T20:50:51Z"},{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-25T16:27:38Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":2,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.078,"p_room":0.28,"age_days":204,"expected_fill_days":24,"reasons":["conf:0","stale_co","velocity","ghost","win:tail","crowd:junior"],"computed_at":"2026-10-16T05:45:00Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/deepinfra-software-engineer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/deepinfra-software-engineer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-16T09:38:53Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":7846,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-17T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":48033},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=48033"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fdeepinfra-software-engineer"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fdeepinfra-software-engineer"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fdeepinfra-software-engineer"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/deepinfra-software-engineer\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fdeepinfra-software-engineer"}]}
