Nscale is taking on the hyperscalers by building a vertically integrated GenAI cloud platform. We own the data centres, software, and applications that power today's AI stack using sustainable technology solutions. We thrive on a culture of relentless innovation, ownership, and accountability, where every team member takes pride in their work and drives it with excellence and urgency. As a Nscaler, you’ll build trust through openness and transparency, where everyone is inspired to do their best work. Collaboration is key, and we work together swiftly and respectfully, embracing adaptability and resilience in all we do.

About the Role

Nscale is looking for AI Engineers to join our core AI team and drive the development of training, fine-tuning, and inference products for our GenAI cloud platform. In this role, you will design and optimise scalable systems for generative AI models, tackle complex performance challenges, and implement cutting-edge AI solutions. This is a unique opportunity to redefine how generative AI is built and consumed globally, working alongside a world-class team renowned for record-setting performance and a strong commitment to open-source innovation.

Responsibilities

• Collaborate with researchers, engineers, and product teams to develop innovative platform features and integrate cutting-edge advancements.
• Architect, build and optimise scalable, high-performance systems for training, fine-tuning, and inference of generative AI models.
• Design and implement advanced methodologies like LoRA, prefix-tuning, and adapter-based approaches for fine-tuning AI models.
• Develop robust, fault-tolerant systems for data ingestion, processing, and model customisation.
• Optimise GPU utilisation and system performance using frameworks like DeepSpeed, Triton Inference Server, TensorRT, and custom CUDA/Rocm kernels.
• Conduct performance testing and resolve bottlenecks across training, fine-tuning, and inference workflows.
• Document and build tooling to ensure successful use of Nscale’s training, fine-tuning, and inference APIs.

Requirements

• 5+ years of experience building and deploying machine learning systems in production environments.
• Proficiency in Python and PyTorch, with a strong understanding of transformer architectures, LLMs, and multimodal generative models.
• Expertise in distributed training frameworks like DeepSpeed or Fully Sharded Data Parallel (FSDP).
• Experience with GPU programming and optimisation e.g CUDA, TensorRT, or ROCm.
• Knowledge of fine-tuning methods, such as LoRA, prefix-tuning, and adapter-based techniques, and experience improving model performance.
• Experience with containerised environments and Kubernetes for managing AI workloads, including tools like Kubeflow.
• Familiarity with inference systems such as Triton Inference Server, vLLM, or TGI.
• Demonstrated ability to write performant, well-tested, and production-quality code.
• Passionate about building tools and systems that enhance the AI developer experience

Preferred

• Experience developing large-scale and high-load production systems.
• Contributions to open-source AI frameworks or inference systems.
• Hands-on experience with advanced inference optimisation techniques, such as KVCache, MoE, adaptive batching, or gradient checkpointing.
• Strong understanding of low-level operating systems concepts, including multi-threading, memory management, and performance tuning.
• Knowledge of efficient training and inference evaluation strategies, with demonstrated success in improving model efficiency.
