The Inference Infrastructure team is the creator and open-source maintainer of AIBrix, a Kubernetes-native control plane for large-scale LLM inference. We are part of ByteDance's Core Compute Infrastructure organization, responsible for designing and operating the platforms that power microservices, big data, distributed storage, machine learning training and inference, and edge computing across multi-cloud and global datacenters. With ByteDance's rapidly growing businesses and a global fleet of machines running hundreds of millions of containers daily, we are building the next generation of cloud-native, GPU-optimized orchestration systems. Our mission is to deliver infrastructure that is highly performant, massively scalable, cost-efficient, and easy to use-enabling both internal and external developers to bring AI workloads from research to production at scale. We are expanding our focus on LLM inference infrastructure to support new AI workloads, and are looking for engineers passionate about cloud-native systems, scheduling, and GPU acceleration. You'll work in a hyper-scale environment, collaborate with world-class engineers, contribute to the open-source community, and help shape the future of AI inference infrastructure globally. We are looking for talented individuals to join us for an internship in 2026. PhD Internships at ByteDance aim to provide students with the opportunity to actively contribute to our products and research, and to the organization's future plans and emerging technologies.
