Senior Software Engineer, ML Infrastructure

The era of pervasive AI has arrived. In this era, organizations will use generative AI to unlock hidden value in their data, accelerate processes, reduce costs, drive efficiency and innovation to fundamentally transform their businesses and operations at scale. SambaNova Suite™ is the first full-stack, generative AI platform, from chip to model, optimized for enterprise and government organizations. Powered by the intelligent SN40L chip, the SambaNova Suite is a fully integrated platform, delivered on-premises or in the cloud, combined with state-of-the-art open-source models that can be easily and securely fine-tuned using customer data for greater accuracy. Once adapted with customer data, customers retain model ownership in perpetuity, so they can turn generative AI into one of their most valuable assets. Overview The Senior Software Engineer, ML Infrastructure will be responsible for designing, building, and operating the production-grade inference infrastructure that powers SambaNova's serving stack on our Reconfigurable Dataflow Unit (RDU) architecture. SambaNova is an inference-first company, and this role sits at the heart of that mission: turning state-of-the-art inference techniques into reliable, high-throughput, low-latency services exposed to customers through SambaStack and SambaCloud. The engineer will own end-to-end systems spanning request scheduling, advanced decoding algorithms, caching layers, API surfaces, and the accuracy infrastructure that keeps the stack trustworthy. This role partners closely with ML, compiler, runtime, and product teams to ship inference features from prototype to production. Qualifications Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or related field 5+ years of industry experience building and operating large-scale distributed systems, ideally in ML serving Strong software engineering fundamentals: algorithms, data structures, concurrency, and systems design Experience designing and maintaining production services with strict latency, throughput, and availability requirements Working knowledge of modern LLM inference techniques and familiarity with open-source serving stacks such as vLLM, TensorRT-LLM, or SGLang Proficiency in Python Experience collaborating across teams to deliver complex, system-level engineering solutions Key responsibilities Design and productionize advanced inference techniques on RDU to optimize for performance and cost. Key areas include speculative decoding, constrained decoding, function/tool calling, prompt caching, and long-context inference. Own SambaNova's integration with vLLM and adjacent serving frameworks, adapting them to RDU's architecture. Own the public inference API surface exposed through SambaStack and SambaCloud. Build and maintain the accuracy verification and regression infrastructure that gates every inference feature shipped to customers. Partner with ML, compiler, runtime, and product teams to take inference features from prototype to production.
