The Senior/Staff Inference Reliability Engineer will own the end-to-end reliability and production performance of customer inference workloads. This role sits at the intersection of inference platform engineering, LLM performance, and infrastructure reliability.
You will ensure that customer endpoints meet expectations for availability, latency, throughput, quality, and cost. When an endpoint degrades, you will follow the problem across the entire serving path—from APIs, routing, scheduling, and autoscaling through model servers, GPUs, networking, and underlying infrastructure—and drive it through resolution.
This is not a traditional DevOps role focused only on clusters and deployments. It is a production systems role for an engineer who enjoys investigating ambiguous performance problems, building diagnostic tooling, and turning recurring incidents into durable platform improvements.
Prior LLM-inference experience is valuable but not required. We are looking for someone with deep production systems experience who can quickly learn inference-specific technologies and metrics.
Own the production health of customer inference workloads, including availability, request success, time to first token, inter-token latency, throughput, and operational efficiency.
Establish clear service-level indicators, objectives, performance baselines, and escalation paths for production endpoints.
Build the telemetry, dashboards, alerts, and automated diagnostics needed to detect meaningful endpoint degradation before customers report it.
Create visibility across the full inference-serving path, including request queues, routing, scheduling, model servers, GPU utilization, networking, storage, and provider infrastructure.
Lead the investigation of complex latency, throughput, capacity, and reliability regressions.
Determine whether an issue originates in customer traffic patterns, platform services, inference-engine configuration, GPU hardware, networking, storage, or an external infrastructure provider.
Remain accountable for the customer outcome while partnering with the appropriate engineering teams to implement the fix.
Help lead customer-impacting incidents and establish effective operational practices for acknowledgement, diagnosis, recovery, and communication.
Convert significant incidents into automated tests, safeguards, runbooks, capacity controls, anomaly detection, and platform improvements.
Partner with the LLM Performance team to validate that engine-level optimizations deliver measurable improvements in production.
Analyze workload behavior, capacity requirements, utilization, tail latency, and cost efficiency across heterogeneous GPU providers and hardware.
Help ensure that customer performance requirements are met without consuming unnecessary infrastructure capacity.
Identify recurring patterns across incidents, workloads, and customer escalations.
Translate those findings into improvements to the inference platform, reliability architecture, deployment processes, observability, and product roadmap.
Deep experience operating critical, customer-facing or business-critical production systems.
Ability to reason about service health across multiple layers rather than treating infrastructure availability as the complete customer outcome.
Experience defining and operating service-level indicators and objectives, building actionable observability, leading incidents, performing failure analysis, and reducing mean time to detection and recovery.
Strong understanding of latency, throughput, queueing, resource contention, capacity, workload distribution, and tail-performance behavior.
Demonstrated ability to diagnose difficult production regressions and isolate bottlenecks across applications and infrastructure.
Knowledge of distributed-systems principles, including fault tolerance, scheduling, routing, load balancing, capacity management, consistency, and failure recovery.
Strong experience with Kubernetes, Linux, networking, storage, cloud infrastructure, and containerized production environments.
Experience operating across multiple cloud providers, regions, hardware configurations, or infrastructure suppliers is especially valuable.
Ability to write production-quality software and build internal tooling, instrumentation, automation, and diagnostic systems.
Proficiency in languages such as Python, Go, Java, C++, or Rust.
Experience with GPUs, ML infrastructure, model serving, vLLM, SGLang, Triton, TensorRT-LLM, or similar technologies is valuable but not required.
You should be excited to develop expertise in concepts such as time to first token, inter-token latency, continuous batching, KV caching, speculative decoding, quantization, and tokens per GPU.
5+ years of experience in production engineering, site reliability engineering, infrastructure engineering, distributed systems, ML infrastructure, database reliability, or performance engineering.
Demonstrated ownership of a critical production service or workload.
Experience diagnosing complex latency, throughput, capacity, or reliability problems across multiple system layers.
Strong software-engineering ability beyond infrastructure configuration and CI/CD automation.
Hands-on experience building observability, automation, diagnostic tooling, or production safeguards.
Strong communication and technical leadership skills, including the ability to coordinate incident resolution across engineering teams.
Experience with Kubernetes, Linux, networking, and cloud-native infrastructure.
While prior LLM-inference experience is not required, a demonstrated ability to learn unfamiliar systems and develop deep technical expertise is essential.
Within your first six months, you will help establish clear end-to-end ownership and observability for Parasail’s production inference workloads.
Success means:
Material endpoint regressions are increasingly detected before customers report them.
Engineers can quickly determine which layer of the system is responsible for a production issue.
Customer-impacting incidents are acknowledged, diagnosed, and resolved faster.
Production endpoints consistently meet defined availability, latency, throughput, and efficiency objectives.
Recurring failure modes are converted into automated detection, safeguards, and durable platform improvements.
Infrastructure and inference capacity are used efficiently while preserving customer performance and model quality.
This role is pivotal in building a new operational discipline for AI infrastructure.
You may come from GPU infrastructure, ML platforms, databases, streaming systems, search, low-latency services, distributed storage, or large-scale production engineering. You do not need to have previously held the title “Inference Reliability Engineer.”
What matters is that you have owned important production systems, can investigate problems that span organizational and technical boundaries, and continue following an issue until the customer experience is restored.
If you are passionate about production systems, performance, reliability, and learning the cutting edge of AI infrastructure, we are excited to welcome you aboard.

Behind one API, we bring together distributed GPU capacity and optimize how workloads run across it, helping customers access reliable, high-performance inference without managing the underlying infrastructure.
We’re building the team that deploys and operates the hardware behind that platform.
You’ll own the delivery and ongoing operation of Parasail’s GPU infrastructure within partner data centers—from white space fit-out and site readiness through equipment installation, validation, and production launch.
Initially, data center partners, hardware vendors, installation contractors, and remote-hands providers will perform much of the physical work. You’ll own those operational relationships and be accountable for execution: setting expectations, coordinating dependencies, verifying quality, and resolving issues.
You’ll work closely with engineering and supply chain to align technical requirements, equipment availability, and site readiness. After launch, you’ll oversee the partners and processes that keep the infrastructure running reliably. As Parasail grows, you’ll help determine which capabilities to bring in-house and build the team to support deployments and operations across locations.

Lead white space fit-out and deployment. Coordinate rack layouts, power and cooling readiness, structured cabling, equipment installation, and network connectivity with site partners and engineering.
Run the integrated delivery plan. Connect hardware delivery, site preparation, installation, testing, and production readiness into one schedule. Track dependencies, hold owners accountable, and resolve blockers.
Translate requirements into executable work. Ensure engineering specifications become clear vendor deliverables. Review plans with technical owners and manage changes before they create rework or delays.
Drive validation and acceptance. Establish completion criteria with engineering, coordinate hardware checks and burn-in, and verify installation quality and documentation before accepting work.
Own ongoing physical infrastructure operations. Coordinate maintenance, hardware replacements, site access, and changes with vendors and engineering. Establish support coverage and procedures that protect service availability.
Lead operational escalations. Bring together vendors, site teams, and engineers to resolve hardware and site issues. Track restoration, communicate impact, and ensure corrective actions are completed.
Maintain accurate operational records. Ensure rack layouts, asset locations, configurations, and service histories stay current. Partner with Supply Chain on receiving discrepancies, spares, and returns.
Manage delivery costs and risks. Track vendor work against agreed scope and budget, review change requests, and communicate schedule or service risks with clear recovery options.
Build the function. Develop repeatable deployment and operating practices. Identify staffing needs, help hire and develop the internal team, and define how employees and external partners work together as Parasail scales.
Experience delivering and supporting physical infrastructure in data center environments, including white space fit-out, hardware deployment, or technical operations.
Direct responsibility for managing vendors or service providers and holding them accountable for schedule, quality, and service performance.

You’ll have the ownership and reach to shape how we get there.\n\n\n\n\nTHE ROLE\n\nAt Parasail, reliability is an engineering problem that spans the entire stack. A GPU fails. A provider goes down. Traffic spikes. Customers still expect their inference to work.\n\nWe’re hiring Site Reliability Engineers to build the systems that make that possible. You’ll own infrastructure across our global GPU fleet, write software that automates operations, and make the platform better at detecting, surviving, and recovering from failures.\n\nYou’ll work directly with infrastructure, platform, and inference engineers in a flat organization. We welcome SREs, software engineers, platform engineers, and systems engineers who want to build ambitious systems and take responsibility for how they perform in production.\n\n\n\n\nWHAT YOU’LL DO\n\n - Scale a global GPU fleet. Build and improve the Kubernetes infrastructure behind provisioning, networking, storage, and service deployment across providers and regions.\n\n - Make failure survivable. Design better isolation, failover, and recovery so hardware and infrastructure failures have less impact on customers.\n\n - Build software that runs infrastructure. Automate capacity expansion, deployments, and maintenance, eliminating manual work and making changes safer.\n\n - Make the system understandable. Develop observability and diagnostics that reveal bottlenecks, surface failures, and help engineers act quickly.\n\n - Own the production feedback loop. Respond to incidents, get to the root cause, and turn what you learn into stronger systems.\n\n - Push the platform forward. Work across the stack to improve performance, utilization, security, and reliability as inference demand grows.\n\n\nWHAT YOU BRING\n\n - Experience building and operating production infrastructure or distributed systems, with real ownership of reliability.\n\n - Strong Linux fundamentals and practical knowledge of networking, storage, and containers.\n\n - Hands-on experience running Kubernetes in production.\n\n - The ability to write maintainable software and automation to solve infrastructure problems.\n\n - A systematic approach to debugging problems that cross application, cluster, network, and hardware boundaries.\n\n - Good judgment about when to move quickly, when to simplify, and where reliability matters most.\n\n - The initiative to take a problem from investigation through implementation and work closely with teammates along the way.\n\nYour strongest skill might be software development, distributed systems, or infrastructure operations.
