Job Description

Together AI is building the Inference Platform that brings the most advanced generative AI models to the world. Our platform powers multi-tenant serverless workloads and dedicated endpoints, enabling developers, enterprises, and researchers to harness the latest LLMs, multimodal models, image, audio, video, and speech models at scale.

Job Responsibility

  • Build and optimize global and local request routing, ensuring low-latency load balancing across data centers and model engine pods
  • Develop auto-scaling systems to dynamically allocate resources and meet strict SLOs across dozens of data centers
  • Design systems for multi-tenant traffic shaping, tuning both resource allocation and request handling — including smart rate limiting and regulation — to ensure fairness and consistent experience across all users
  • Engineer trade-offs between latency and throughput to serve diverse workloads efficiently
  • Optimize prefix caching to reduce model compute and speed up responses
  • Collaborate with ML researchers to bring new model architectures into production at scale
  • Continuously profile and analyze system-level performance to identify bottlenecks and implement optimizations

Requirements

  • 5+ years of demonstrated experience building large-scale, fault-tolerant, distributed systems and API microservices
  • Strong background in designing, analyzing, and improving efficiency, scalability, and stability of complex systems
  • Excellent understanding of low-level OS concepts: multi-threading, memory management, networking, and storage performance
  • Expert-level programming in one or more of: Rust, Go, Python, or TypeScript
  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or related field, or equivalent practical experience

Nice to have

  • Knowledge of modern LLMs and generative models and how they are served in production
  • Experience working with the open source ecosystem around inference
  • familiarity with SGLang, vLLM, or NVIDIA Dynamo
  • Experience with Kubernetes or container orchestration
  • Familiarity with GPU software stacks (CUDA, Triton, NCCL) and HPC technologies (InfiniBand, NVLink, MPI)

What we offer

  • Competitive compensation
  • equity
  • health insurance
  • other competitive benefits

Requirements
  • 5+ years of software engineering experience (post-BS/MS), including building scalable backend systems or internal developer platforms
  • Proficiency in Python (or similar languages) and deep knowledge of backend development fundamentals (APIs, data stores, concurrency, distributed systems)
  • Hands-on experience with web frameworks and service architectures (e.g. Flask/FastAPI, Bounded context services, microservices) and an understanding of designing clean, versioned APIs
  • Familiarity with caching, messaging, and database technologies (Redis, Kafka, SQL/NoSQL databases, Vector databases, etc.) and how to use them effectively for high performance and reliability
  • A track record of writing high-quality, well-tested code and using tools (unit/integration testing, static typing, CI) to catch issues early and ensure reliability
  • Strong problem-solving skills and a passion for improving developer experience — you enjoy creating tools or frameworks that make other engineers more productive
  • Excellent collaboration and communication skills, with the ability to work across teams and incorporate feedback
Job Responsibility
Job Responsibility
  • Develop and maintain Harvey’s internal backend frameworks and libraries that provide common capabilities (API routing, service lifecycle management, caching and messaging primitives, error handling interfaces, etc.), so product teams don’t have to reinvent them
  • Create and improve APIs, service templates, and versioned interfaces that establish consistent patterns for building new services and features
  • Introduce and champion modern backend architecture patterns like asynchronous I/O (asyncio) and streaming data processing, continually evolving our platform for better performance and scalability
  • Design Harvey-specific abstractions and domain-specific frameworks—covering cross-cutting concerns (e.g., authorization, streaming) and areas like data governance and event processing—to provide product engineers with these capabilities out of the box
  • Embed reliability and observability into the platform by building in tracing, metrics, and automated tests (shift-left), ensuring services built on our foundation are robust and easy to monitor
  • Collaborate with Model Infrastructure team to tackle challenges unique to GenAI-native applications — such as supporting high-throughput model inference, managing streaming and long-running API interactions, and designing abstractions for retrieval, context handling, and prompt lifecycle
  • Collaborate with the Developer Experience and Infrastructure teams (who own CI/CD pipelines, build tools, and release infrastructure) to integrate our platform components seamlessly into the deployment and monitoring ecosystem
  • Work closely with product engineering teams to gather feedback, evangelize best practices, and make the “paved road” approach a reality — providing strong defaults and clear documentation so teams can move fast with confidence
