Inference Engineer

Hyperbolic Labs is on a mission to democratize AI by breaking down the barriers to computing power with our Open-Access AI Cloud. By making better use of idle computing resources across the globe, we offer an innovative GPU marketplace and AI inference service that promise affordability and accessibility for all. As pioneers at the intersection of AI and open-source technology, we believe in an open future where AI innovation is limited only by imagination, not by access to resources. We're looking for forward-thinking individuals who share our passion for making AI universally accessible, secure, and affordable. Join us in building a platform that empowers innovators everywhere to turn their visionary AI projects into reality.

We're looking for an Inference Engineer to build inference capabilities on top of Forge, our unified control plane, so customers can consume model tokens without managing GPUs and our NeoCloud partners get a full-stack path to their own token-factory offering. You'll own how models get deployed and served across clusters distributed around the world, on heterogeneous hardware.

Deployment comes first: serving models on Forge and our Kubernetes offering, evaluating inference frameworks, and standing up the monitoring, gateways, and endpoints that make a deployment production-ready. From there the work expands into optimization, autoscaling, KV-cache orchestration, and customer inference debugging. This is the primary seat for inference at Hyperbolic \u2014 you'll build it end to end, with real influence over where the scope lands.
