• Own benchmarking and repeatable deployments, including:
• Handling standard deployment patterns and configurations across many modalities – LLMs, embeddings, image and video generation, Voice AI, etc.
• Advising on tradeoffs like H100s vs B200s and latency-optimized vs throughput-optimized setups.
• Driving consistent “playbook” style deployments for common models and use cases.
• Become a power user of different runtimes such as vLLM, SGLang, and TRT-LLM and all the common configurations and tradeoffs between them
• Drive POC and project execution, including:
• Scoping POCs and keeping stakeholders aligned on timeline, deliverables, and next steps.
• Acting as the “ringleader” or project manager for POCs.
