Bjak
Software Engineer
Working arrangement: United Kingdom (Remote – work from anywhere in the UK)
Transform Language Models into Real-World Applications
We’re building AI systems for a global audience. We are living in an era of AI transition – this new project team will be focusing on building applications to enable more real world impact and highest usage for the world.
This role is a global role with hybrid work arrangement – combining flexible remote work with in-office collaboration at our HQ. You’ll work closely with regional teams across product, engineering, operations, infrastructure and data to build and scale impactful AI solutions.
Why This Role Matters
You’ll fine-tune state-of-the-art models, design evaluation frameworks, and bring AI features into production. Your work ensures our models are not only intelligent, but also safe, trustworthy, and impactful at scale.
What You’ll Do
Run and manage open-source models efficiently, optimizing for cost and reliability
Ensure high performance and stability across GPU, CPU, and memory resources
Monitor and troubleshoot model inference to maintain low latency and high throughput
Collaborate with engineers to implement scalable and reliable model serving solutions
What Is It Like
Likes ownership and independence
Believe clarity comes from action – prototype, test, and iterate without waiting for perfect plans.
Stay calm and effective in startup chaos – shifting priorities and building from zero doesn’t faze you.
Bias for speed – you believe it’s better to deliver something valuable now than a perfect version much later.
See feedback and failure as part of growth – you’re here to level up.
Possess humility, hunger, and hustle, and lift others up as you go.
Requirements
Experience with model serving platforms such as vLLM or HuggingFace TGI
Proficiency in GPU orchestration using tools like Kubernetes, Ray, Modal, RunPod, LambdaLabs
Ability to monitor latency, costs, and scale systems efficiently with traffic demands
