Senior Software Engineer - AI Inference

Our team: Join the team that is building the core infrastructure for AI at Bloomberg.

The Bloomberg AI Inference Platform provides production-grade managed infrastructure for hosting, deploying, and serving all machine learning models, both predictive and cutting-edge generative models.

We abstract away infrastructure complexity, empowering engineering teams to focus on creating intelligent applications with guaranteed scalability, performance, and governance.

Our platform is built on the open-source KServe project, and the CNCS AI Inference team is a primary contributor to its development.

We'll trust you to: Design and build scalable infrastructure for both online and offline inference workloads.

Lead integration of high-performance inference runtimes and serving frameworks, including TensorRT, vLLM, ONNX, and Triton.

Drive architecture and technical decisions across Bloomberg’s inference platform, balancing latency, throughput, reliability, and cost.

Partner across engineering teams to improve model deployment, observability, and production performance.

Mentor junior engineers on system design, debugging, and performance optimization.

You'll need to have: 5+ years of professional software engineering experience.

designing, building, and operating production distributed systems.

Strong systems intuition and a track record of debugging and optimizing performance-critical services.

Ability to own problems end-to-end and quickly ramp up in unfamiliar technical areas. 4+ years of demonstrated experience working with an object-oriented programming language.

A degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or equivalent practical experience.

We'd love to see: Experience deploying and operating machine learning systems at scale.

with inference optimization techniques such as batching, caching, request scheduling, or memory-aware serving.
