We build the stage, not the show. We're an infrastructure company, a developer-tools company, and a production partner for model labs, and focus is a deliberate choice we've made and hold to. Day-to-day, that means a small team, a high bar, and real ownership. You won't wait for permission or inherit a backlog of someone else's decisions. In a founding security role, the function is what you make it. It also means ambiguity: priorities shift, not everything is documented. You'll often be the person who decides what "secure enough, for now" means.

Role Description Performance is uRun's core differentiator. We're not chasing incremental gains — we're building infrastructure that runs 10–100x faster than the status quo. As our ML Performance Engineer, you will be the person who makes that true. This is a founding technical hire. You will: - Write custom CUDA kernels, pushing GPU utilization to its limits. - Own inference latency end-to-end across the stack. - Work directly with the founding team on the hardest performance problems in production AI infrastructure. - Have your fingerprints on everything we ship.

Qualifications - Deep, hands-on CUDA expertise: you have written custom kernels in production, not just called into cuBLAS. - Strong background in model inference and post-training optimization at scale. - Fluency in GPU memory hierarchy, warp scheduling, kernel fusion, and hardware-aware algorithm design. - Experience profiling and benchmarking complex inference pipelines: you know where the time goes and how to get it back. - Able to operate at the frontier with minimal guidance — you identify the problem, design the approach, and ship the fix. Requirements - Public work in GPU optimization or inference efficiency — open source contributions, a published paper, or a side project that shows your depth (vLLM, Flash-Attention, TensorRT-LLM, PyTorch, or equivalent). - Experience with hardware-aware optimization frameworks: CuTe, Triton, TileLang, or similar. - Familiarity with distributed memory and communication primitives: NCCL, InfiniBand, NVLink, RoCE. - Contributions to or deep familiarity with PyTorch Distributed, Ray core, or similar systems. - Experience optimizing for video generation or other high-throughput, latency-sensitive generative workloads. - Prior work at an inference-focused company or research lab pushing the boundary of what GPU hardware can do. Benefits - Competitive salary and meaningful equity in an early-stage AI infrastructure company. - Health, dental, and vision — full coverage. - 401(k) — company-supported retirement savings. - FSA/HSA — flexible spending accounts for healthcare costs. - Paid time off — we trust you to manage your time. - Top-tier tooling — access to the best AI tools available: Claude, Codex, Kimi, and whatever else helps you move faster. - MacBook Pro and AirPods — the hardware you need, on us.

Role Description You'll build the services, APIs, and core application systems that power uRun's runtime—the software layer that turns our real-time inference platform into something product and applied AI teams can actually build on. - This is not a conventional CRUD backend role. - The work centers on low-latency, high-throughput systems: real-time interaction, evolving session state, and request handling that stays reliable under heavy compute and concurrency. - You'll work closely with product, infrastructure, and applied AI teams, in an early-stage environment where the architecture is still being set. What you'll actually be doing day-to-day: - Build and maintain backend services, APIs, and internal platform components that power uRun's real-time inference runtime. - Design systems for real-time interaction, evolving session state, and scalable request handling across production environments. - Partner with infrastructure and platform engineers to keep services observable, reliable, and efficient under heavy compute and concurrency. - Translate experimental AI capabilities into robust, user-facing software, working closely with product and applied AI teams. - Shape architecture decisions on data flow, service boundaries, performance optimisation, and fault tolerance for interactive systems. - Raise engineering quality through testing, monitoring, code review, documentation, and sound operational practice. Qualifications - 7+ years building and shipping backend software in production. - Proficiency in one or more backend languages — Python, Go, or TypeScript/Node.js. - Experience designing APIs, service-oriented systems, and distributed application components. - Solid understanding of cloud infrastructure, containers, and modern deployment workflows. - Ability to reason about performance, concurrency, reliability, and debugging in complex systems. - Experience with real-time, interactive, streaming, or latency-sensitive systems; this is central to the role, not a bonus.

Qualifications - Proven experience designing and operating large-scale distributed infrastructure at 1,000+ nodes or equivalent complexity, in any domain. - Deep expertise in distributed systems, cluster orchestration (Kubernetes, Slurm, or custom schedulers), and large-scale resource scheduling. - Strong production reliability instincts: observability, incident response, capacity planning, and SLA ownership across complex systems. - Experience building infrastructure that other engineers build on top of, not just operating it. - Ability to operate as a technical lead: set direction, make tradeoffs under uncertainty, and raise the bar for the team around you. - Startup orientation. You are energised by ambiguity, move fast, and build for scale from day one. Requirements - Exposure to ML infrastructure concepts: GPU networking (NCCL, InfiniBand, RoCE), model serving frameworks (vLLM, SGLang, TensorRT-LLM), or hardware-aware performance tuning (CuTe, Triton, TileLang). - Experience with multi-cloud GPU procurement and capacity management across AWS, GCP, Azure, and bare metal providers. - Familiarity with inference marketplace architectures, dynamic routing, or spot/preemptible workload management. - Prior experience at a Series A or earlier stage company scaling from early infrastructure to production.
