THE ROLE About The Role You'll own how our software stack is built. Today the codebase reflects four people moving fast it works but it needs structure. Your job is to give it that structure well-designed libraries robust packages environments the kind of codebase that scales as we grow the team and ship more to customers. This is not a glue-code role. You'll work between the algorithm and inference layer designing a compression pipeline that is fully automated and takes target runtimes into account. You'll design the abstractions our compression pipeline runs on and make them fast. What You'll Do Your impact —Design and refactor our core libraries — pruning quantization retraining evaluation — into clean well-scoped packages. —Build the internal tooling that lets the team move quickly without breaking things — CI benchmarks reproducible runs. —Integrate our compression output with inference engines (vLLM TensorRT-LLM llama.cpp) and customer deployment targets. —Set the engineering bar for the team as we hire. What You Bring What we're looking for —Bachelor's/Master's in computer science or equivalent plus 2+ years of professional software engineering. —Strong opinions about code design. You know what a well-structured library looks like and why. —GPU experience — memory hierarchy kernels what bottlenecks performance — even if you don't write CUDA daily. —Production-grade Python. You write code others can read extend and trust. —You finish things and you care about the codebase you leave behind. NICE TO HAVE —Open-source contributions to ML infrastructure (vLLM llama.cpp transformers TensorRT-LLM PyTorch internals). —CUDA Triton or kernel-level work. —Experience designing a library from scratch that other engineers ended up using. —Familiarity with model serving and inference optimization. PRACTICAL —Vienna-based. Hybrid or fully remote. —Working language is English. —We sponsor visas and support relocation. —Compensation €70–120k base + equity. Austrian minimum disclosed per Kollektivvertrag €45738/year. —You'll set the engineering standards we hire against next.
