About this role

Staff Software Engineer - GenAI inference San Francisco, California P-1285 About This Role As a staff software engineer for GenAI inference, you will lead the architecture, development, and optimization of the inference engine that powers Databricks Foundation Model API.. You'll bridge research advances and production demands, ensuring high throughput, low latency, and robust scaling. Your work will encompass the full GenAI inference stack: kernels, runtimes, orchestration, memory, and integration with frameworks and orchestration systems. What You Will Do - Own and drive the architecture, design, and implementation of the inference engine, and collaborate on model-serving stack optimized for large-scale LLMs inference - Partner closely with researchers to bring new model architectures or features (sparsity, activation compression, mixture-of-experts) into the engine - Lead the end-to-end optimization for latency, throughput, memory efficiency, and hardware utilization across GPUs, and accelerators - Define and guide standards to build and maintain instrumentation, profiling, and tracing tooling to uncover bottlenecks and guide optimizations - Architect scalable routing, batching, scheduling, memory management, and dynamic loading mechanisms for inference workloads - Ensure reliability, reproducibility, and fault tolerance in the inference pipelines, including A/B launches, rollback, and model versioning - Collaborate cross-functionally on Integrating with federated, distributed inference infrastructure - orchestrate across nodes, balance load, handle communication overhead - Drive cross-team collaboration: with platform engineers, cloud infrastructure, and security/compliance teams - Represent the team externally through benchmarks, whitepapers, and open-source contributions What We Look For - BS/MS/PhD in Computer Science, or a related field - Strong software engineering background
