Job description
Job Summary:
RadixArk is an infrastructure-first company focused on building world-class open systems for AI inference and training. They are seeking a Performance Engineer to enhance the performance of their AI systems across various environments, ensuring optimal usability, affordability, and reliability in production.
Responsibilities:
• Analyze and improve performance across SGLang, Miles, and RadixArk production deployments
• Benchmark LLM inference and training workloads across GPUs, TPUs, and cloud environments
• Optimize latency, throughput, memory usage, batching, scheduling, routing, and GPU utilization
• Investigate performance regressions in real customer environments
• Work closely with kernel, runtime, distributed systems, and product engineers
• Build internal tooling for profiling, tracing, benchmarking, and regression detection
• Translate customer workload characteristics into concrete performance tuning strategies
• Help define performance metrics that matter commercially, including cost-per-token and serving efficiency
• Partner with customers and cloud partners on deep technical evaluations
• Contribute performance insights back to open-source SGLang and Miles
Qualifications:
Required:
• Strong systems engineering background, especially in performance-critical software
• Experience with GPU systems, distributed systems, inference serving, ML runtimes, or high-performance computing
• Familiarity with profiling tools, performance debugging, tracing, and benchmark methodology
• Comfort working with Python and C++
• Understanding of LLM inference concepts such as batching, KV cache, prefill/decode, speculative decoding, MoE, long context, and P99 latency
• Ability to debug messy real-world performance issues across software, hardware, and infrastructure layers
• Strong communication skills — you should be able to explain performance tradeoffs to both engineers and customers
Preferred:
• Experience with CUDA, Triton, Pallas, ROCm, XLA, or kernel-level optimization is a strong plus
• Prior experience with production AI infrastructure, cloud GPU environments, or open-source ML systems is a plus
Company:
RadixArk focuses on developing infrastructure for AI inference and training systems. Founded in 2025, the company is headquartered in San Francisco, USA, with a team of 11-50 employees. The company is currently Early Stage.
