Your responsibilities will include: 

• Design and implement LLM-based solutions using Nebius AI Studio’s inference services to drive business value and support customer goals.
• Build production-ready applications leveraging our serverless LLM APIs, including multimodal models (text, vision, audio) and domain-specific models.
• Provide technical expertise in prompt engineering, RAG architectures, model selection, and inference optimization.
• Collaborate with product and engineering teams to surface customer feedback and shape the platform roadmap.
• Guide customers in scaling from POC to production with a focus on performance, reliability, and cost efficiency.

We expect you to have: 

• 5+ years of experience in ML/AI systems, with at least 2 years focused on LLMs and generative AI.
• Deep knowledge of the LLM ecosystem, including model architectures and fine-tuning approaches.
• Hands-on experience with:
  • Prompt engineering and LLM pipeline development, including evaluation.
  • Agentic frameworks such as Langchain, Langsmith, smolagents, or equivalent.
  • Vector databases and RAG implementation patterns.
  • Deploying LLM-powered applications using APIs from OpenAI, Anthropic, or open-source models.
• Strong Python programming skills.
• Excellent communication skills, with the ability to clearly explain technical concepts to diverse audiences.

It will be an added bonus if you have: 

• Experience with inference frameworks and libraries (e.g., vLLM, SGLang, TensorRT-LLM, Transformers).
• Familiarity with inference optimization techniques such as quantization, batching, caching, and routing.
• Work with multimodal AI models (e.g., vision-language, speech).
• Proficiency with DevOps tools (Docker, Kubernetes).
• Contributions to open-source ML/AI projects.

Preferred tooling:

• Programming Languages– Python
• ML Frameworks and Libraries– vLLM, SGLang, TensorRT-LLM, Transformers, OpenAI/Anthropic SDKs
• Frameworks for Agentic Pipelines : Langchain / Langsmith / smolagents / equivalent
• API and Web Frameworks– FastAPI, Flask
• MLOps and DevOps tools– Kubernetes (K8s), Docker, Git
• Cloud Platforms– AWS (SageMaker, Bedrock), GCP (Vertex AI), Azure (Azure ML)

Key Employee Benefits:

• Health Insurance: 100% company-paid medical, dental, and vision coverage for employees and families.
• 401(k) Plan: Up to 4% company match with immediate vesting.
• Parental Leave: 20 weeks paid for primary caregivers, 12 weeks for secondary caregivers.
• Remote Work Reimbursement: Up to $85/month for mobile and internet.
• Disability & Life Insurance: Company-paid short-term, long-term, and life insurance coverage.
