We are looking
for a Senior Software Engineer to develop and optimize deep learning models,
including CNNs, LLMs, and MoE, for efficient inference across CPU, GPU,
hardware accelerators, and edge devices. The role focuses on quantization,
model compression, high-performance kernel implementation, transformer
optimization, and production deployment.

Responsibilities:

• Develop and optimize deep learning models (CNNs,
LLMs, MoE) for efficient inference across CPU, GPU, hardware accelerators, and
edge devices.

• Design and implement quantization algorithms
(PTQ, QAT, GPTQ, AWQ) from scratch.

• Apply model compression techniques such as
pruning, decomposition, and distillation.

• Implement and optimize quantized kernels (INT8,
INT4, FP8) using C++ for high performance.

• Translate research papers into production-ready
implementations.

• Optimize latency, throughput, and memory usage
for real-world deployment.

• Work on transformer optimization including
KV-cache, PEFT (LoRA/QLoRA), and MoE models.

• Profile, benchmark, and debug model performance
across different hardware platforms.

• Collaborate with ML, compiler, and hardware
teams to deliver optimized solutions.

Technical Skills (Must haves):

​

• 4+ years of relevant experience.

• Strong programming skills in Python and C++.

• Proven experience in quantization algorithms
(PTQ, QAT, GPTQ, AWQ).

• Hands-on experience in pruning, model
compression, and inference optimization.

• Experience implementing quantization or
optimization techniques from scratch.

• Strong understanding of CNNs, Transformers, and
LLM architectures.
