Some Weird jobs exist in emerging industries, experimental arts, or specialized sciences. These roles may challenge norms, require unconventional skills, and offer unexpected opportunities. Whether it's professional cuddling, ethical hacking, or underwater welding, Weird jobs push boundaries in fascinating ways.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a weird, and why are they important?

I'm sorry, but 'Weird' is not a recognized real-world professional occupation, so I cannot provide an answer for this job title.

Job description

Own the infrastructure layer of our inference cloud end-to-end. Today that means the control plane, the gateway in front of our ASIC fleet, and the observability stack that tells us where every millisecond goes. Over the next 6-8 months it grows into a heterogeneous fleet: ASICs for decode, GPUs for prefill, and the physical-layer ownership that comes with it.

The first six months are hands-on: k8s manifests, dashboards, oncall, and a direct line to our ASIC partner's engineering team when production behaves strangely. The team grows under you from there.

Responsibilities
  • Own the inference control plane. Today it's built on configuration provided by our ASIC partner; you'll be the person who understands it deeply enough to modify, extend, and eventually replace pieces of it.
  • Own the gateway and load balancer that fronts the fleet. Model placement, request routing, and tail-latency engineering live here, driven by live utilization and per-model SLOs.
  • Own observability end-to-end. Per-request tracing from OpenRouter ingress through to the accelerator, with p50/p95/p99 dashboards, SLOs, and alerting that wakes the right person.
  • Run capacity planning against a real, distributed traffic mix across the open-weight models we serve.
  • Own the operational side of the ASIC partnership. Most weird production issues route through their engineering team until we build that expertise in-house, and you'll be our technical face in those conversations.
  • Bring up the prefill side of our disaggregated architecture on a second hardware platform as it comes online. Different vendor, different fabric, different kernels.
  • Build the oncall and incident response practice from zero. Hire and grow the team underneath you.
What we're looking for
  • 7+ years in infrastructure, SRE, or platform engineering, with at least some of it at a serious inference, ML, or HPC shop.
  • Hands-on with Kubernetes at production scale — not just deploying, but debugging the weird stuff.
  • Strong instincts for tail latency. You think about p99 and utilization as the same problem, not different ones.
  • Comfortable owning a vendor relationship where the vendor's bugs are now your production issues.
  • Track record of building observability practices that actually catch problems, not just generate dashboards.
  • Have been oncall through real incidents and can talk about what you learned.
  • Want to be the first infra hire at something early, not the tenth at something big.
Nice to have
  • Experience operating non-NVIDIA accelerators in production — TPUs, ASICs, or alternative GPU vendors.
  • Background with model-serving stacks (vLLM, TGI, TensorRT-LLM, SGLang).
  • Network fabric experience at data-center scale (RoCE, InfiniBand).
  • Have hired and managed an infra team before.
  • Comfort at the hardware boundary — firmware, drivers, thermals — for when the roadmap takes us there.
