Staff Support Engineer
CircleCI
Role Description The Staff Support Engineer is the technical authority and strategic backbone of Support Engineering. This role operates at organizational scope — well beyond individual tickets — owning the escalation model, shaping cross-functional engineering relationships, and driving platform-level improvements that reduce future support burden. You are the technical voice in cross-functional forums, a trusted advisor to leadership, and the connective tissue between Enterprise customers and Product/Engineering. Success here means the team is sharper, the product is more supportable, and recurring escalation patterns stop recurring. What You'll Do: - Own Support Engineering's escalation management: coordinate research and reproductions with Product Engineering, identify recurring patterns, and drive structural corrections that prevent repeat incidents. - Serve as the senior cross-functional liaison between Support Engineering and Product, Engineering, Security, and Revenue — attending scoping sessions, architectural discussions, and GTM forums to ensure supportability is a design requirement, not an afterthought. - Lead AI-assisted tool development and set team standards for code quality, review practices, and responsible adoption of emerging capabilities across the engineering interface. - Identify and lead team initiatives, owning delivery and ensuring AI adoption objectives are reflected in team priorities and cross-team roadmap discussions. - Mentor Support Engineers at all levels; develop the next generation of cross-functional technical leads and assist managers where coaching opportunities arise. - Define and continuously evolve Support Engineering's operational practices — escalation workflows, sandbox standards, and AI-integrated processes — at organizational scope. Qualifications - 7+ years of technical product support or engineering experience, with demonstrated ability to operate autonomously across multiple teams and influence without direct authority. - Proven track record leading complex, cross-functional escalations and driving root cause elimination — not just resolution. - Strong programming proficiency in one or more languages; ability to build tools, conduct peer code review, and contribute to Engineering R&D with a supportability lens. - High understanding of distributed service architecture across product specialty areas, including AI-powered component integration and failure modes. - Demonstrated business acumen: ability to align decisions to company OKRs, quantify the impact of operational patterns, and contribute economic perspective to tooling and process decisions. - Experience mentoring engineers and building team capability; track record of reducing siloed knowledge and creating organizational redundancy. Requirements - Experience with build, test, and deployment automation (CI/CD) in a technical leadership or customer-facing capacity. - Familiarity with AI/ML technologies and LLM-based code diagnostics. - Advanced knowledge of Docker, Linux containers, and Kubernetes for container orchestration. - Expertise automating major IaaS platforms (AWS, GCP, Azure) with a DevOps focus. - Experience debugging distributed systems and microservices architectures. - Knowledge of iOS application testing, code signing, and deployment processes. Benefits - United Kingdom Base Pay Range: £85,000 — £107,000 GBP. - We will ensure that individuals with disabilities are provided reasonable accommodation to participate in the job application or interview process, to perform essential job functions, and to receive other benefits and privileges of employment. Company Description CircleCI is the world’s largest continuous integration/continuous delivery (CI/CD) platform, and the hub where code moves from idea to delivery. As one of the most-used DevOps tools - processing more than 3 million jobs a day - CircleCI has unique access to data on how the most effective engineering teams work, and the tools to help software companies successfully leverage the power of AI into their commercial applications. Founded in 2011 and headquartered in downtown San Francisco with a global, remote workforce, CircleCI is venture-backed by multiple investors. CircleCI is an Equal Opportunity and Affirmative Action employer. We do not discriminate based upon race, religion, color, national origin, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity, gender expression, transgender status, sexual stereotypes, age, status as a protected veteran, status as an individual with a disability, or other applicable legally protected characteristics.

Title: Senior ML Engineer - Kimchi (LLM Inference Optimization) Location: Spain This is a high-impact seat. It is also a high-autonomy seat as you'll be given the room to lead the technical direction of inference optimization at Kimchi, not execute someone else's roadmap. The problem: running LLMs in production is a moving target. The "right" model and serving configuration for a workload depend on traffic shape, sequence-length distribution, batch dynamics, GPU SKU, memory bandwidth, quantization tolerance, and a dozen other variables that shift week to week. Most teams pick a model once, over-provision GPUs, and absorb the cost. Kimchi is the system that makes that decision automatically - continuously matching workloads to the most cost-efficient, best-performing LLM and serving configuration on a customer's infrastructure. We're building the optimization layer between the model and the hardware, and we need engineers who understand both sides deeply. Stack Python; vLLM; SGLang; TensorRT-LLM; PyTorch; CUDA-adjacent tooling; Kubernetes; gRP; ClickHouse; PostgreSQL; GCP Pub/Sub; AWS / GCP / Azure; GitLab CI; ArgoCD; Prometheus; Grafana; Loki; Tempo. Requirements: - 5+ years building real ML systems, with a portfolio that shows depth in inference or training infrastructure (not just model training notebooks). - Strong Python - production services, not scripts. - Hands-on experience with at least one of vLLM, SGLang, or TensorRT-LLM, and a working mental model of why an inference engine performs the way it does on a given GPU. - Fluency with quantization tradeoffs - you've measured quality regressions, not just compression ratios. - Comfort with distributed systems: collective communication, sharding strategies, and the practical failure modes of multi-GPU and multi-node setups. - A bias toward measurement. You instrument before you optimize, and you can tell the difference between a real win and a benchmark artifact. - Self-direction. This role comes with a wide mandate; you should be excited by that, not unsettled by it. Responsibilities: - Push throughput. Continuous batching, speculative decoding, chunked prefill, kernel-level tuning across vLLM, SGLang, and TensorRT-LLM. Find the ceiling on each GPU SKU, then raise it. - Cut latency. Attack TTFT and TPOT separately. Profile, identify the actual bottleneck (compute, memory bandwidth, scheduling, networking), and fix it - not the bottleneck you assumed. - Get more out of the KV cache. Paged attention, prefix caching, eviction policies, cache reuse across requests, quantized KV. This is where a lot of the unrealized throughput lives, and it's an area you'll own. - Quantize without regressing quality. INT8, INT4, FP8 across weights, activations, and KV. Empirical work: measure quality on real workloads, not just perplexity benchmarks. - Shrink cold starts and memory footprint. Faster init, smarter weight loading, tighter memory accounting - the difference between a model that scales and one that doesn't. - Scale across nodes. Distributed inference topologies, network-aware placement, checkpointing strategies that don't bottleneck on storage or interconnect. - Set the technical direction. Decide what we benchmark, what we adopt, and what we build ourselves. Bring the team along with strong writeups and reproducible experiments. What's in it for you? - Competitive salary (depending on the level of experience). - Enjoy a flexible, remote-first global environment. - Collaborate with a global team of cloud experts and innovators, passionate about pushing the boundaries of Kubernetes technology - Equity options. - Get quick feedback with a fast-paced workflow. Most feature projects are completed in 1 to 4 weeks. - Spend 10% of your work time on personal projects or self-improvement. - Learning budget for professional and personal development - including access to international conferences and courses that elevate your skills. - Annual hackathon to spark new ideas and strengthen team bonds. - Team-building budget and company events to connect with your colleagues. - Equipment budget to ensure you have everything you need. - Extra days off to help maintain a healthy work-life balance. #LI-Remote
