About The Position

Bright Vision Technologies is seeking an ML Systems Engineer to design, build, and operate high-performance, reliable inference platforms for serving large machine learning models in production. The role focuses on the systems engineering aspects of AI deployment, including request routing, batching, caching, autoscaling, GPU utilization, and end-to-end observability across varied model workloads. The ideal candidate has strong distributed systems and performance engineering expertise, has shipped serving systems at scale, and understands the trade-offs among latency, throughput, cost, and quality in ML serving.

This is a full-time, direct W-2 position that is 100% remote within the United States. The annual salary range is $145,000–$165,000. The company is unable to sponsor new H-1B visa petitions, but U.S. citizens, green card holders, EAD holders, and H-1B transfer candidates are encouraged to apply.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science or a related field.
• Six or more years of experience in distributed systems, infrastructure, or ML platform engineering.
• Strong proficiency in Python and a systems language such as Go, Rust, or C++.
• Deep experience operating high-throughput, low-latency services in production.
• Hands-on experience with LLM or large model inference frameworks such as vLLM or TensorRT-LLM.
• Strong understanding of GPU architecture, memory hierarchies, and accelerator utilization.
• Familiarity with Kubernetes, autoscaling, and modern cloud platforms.
• Experience with observability stacks, including metrics, tracing, and structured logging.
• Solid grounding in performance engineering and capacity planning.
• Strong communication and incident response skills.

Nice To Haves

• Open-source contributions to model serving infrastructure.
• Experience with multi-region or globally distributed AI serving.
• Familiarity with model quantization, distillation, and compression techniques.
• Exposure to FinOps for AI workloads and cost-efficient serving design.
• Experience supporting external-facing AI APIs at scale.

Responsibilities

• Design, build, and operate high-performance, highly reliable inference platforms for production machine learning models.
• Develop and operate systems for request routing, batching, caching, autoscaling, GPU utilization, and end-to-end observability across diverse model workloads.
• Support high-throughput, low-latency production services and serving systems at scale.
• Balance latency, throughput, cost, and quality in ML serving.
