Job description

Member of Technical Staff – AI Inference platform, features

You will expand the capabilities of Lyceum's AI inference platform, the first EU-sovereign inference cloud. You'll own the features that customers interact with directly: model serving configurations, API surface, framework integrations, and developer experience. This means understanding what customers need, building it fast, and making sure it works reliably at scale.

Your focus

Feature development: Design and ship new platform capabilities - from supporting new model architectures and serving frameworks to building out API features that customers are asking for.

Customer-facing engineering: Work closely with customers and the commercial team to understand real-world usage patterns, translate feature requests into technical designs, and iterate based on feedback.

Developer experience: Improve the end-to-end experience of deploying and running inference on Lyceum, from initial setup through to monitoring and debugging in production.

Your KPIs

Number of platform features shipped

Time from customer request to feature availability

Breadth of supported models, frameworks, and deployment configurations

Your profile

We consider candidates from diverse backgrounds, with a deep love for technical challenges and the desire to take on ownership beyond what's reasonably expected. You're someone who stays close to the rapidly evolving open-source AI ecosystem and gets energy from turning emerging tools into production-grade platform capabilities.

Requirements

3+ years of experience in software engineering, with a focus on backend or infrastructure systems

Strong proficiency in Go and Python

Hands-on experience with at least one ML inference serving framework (vLLM, TGI, etc)

Solid understanding of how large language models and other AI models are deployed and served in production

Experience working with REST/gRPC APIs and designing developer-facing interfaces

Nice to have

Familiarity with GPU scheduling, batching strategies, or inference optimisation (quantisation, speculative decoding, etc.)

Experience with Kubernetes and container orchestration in a production setting

Knowledge of AI model formats and conversion pipelines (GGUF, SafeTensors, ONNX)

Background in developer tools, platform engineering, or API design

Why us?

Outstanding team: Work with some of the best engineers in the world, coming from hedge funds, big tech, AI startups and top universities

Once in a lifetime opportunity: Early-stage company in the fastest-growing market in the world

Ownership: Shape how European AI companies access GPU compute

European mission: Build sovereign, GDPR-compliant AI infrastructure for the next generation of deep-tech
