Company

hirify.global is building the infra for real-time AI for applications in gaming, AR/VR, robotics, and more, led by an experienced team from MIT, Google, and Microsoft.

What you will do

• Own end-to-end feature work from RFC and design review to infrastructure-as-code, monitoring, and post-launch iteration.
• Optimize GPU inference pipelines, extend the TypeScript/React console, and design new audio-streaming protocols.
• Collaborate with customers to debug latency spikes and implement fixes in the orchestration layer.
• Influence engineering culture, institute best practices, and mentor newer hires.
• Shape the technical roadmap alongside the founders.

Requirements

• 2+ years of professional software engineering experience.
• Deep proficiency in at least one systems language (Go/Rust/C++) and one high-level language (Python/TypeScript).

• Hands-on experience with end-to-end ML workflows: data pipelines, model training/tuning, packaging, and low-latency serving (PyTorch + CUDA or similar).
• Strong product sense and ability to translate ambiguous problems into well-scoped engineering work.
• Excellent written & verbal communication skills.

Nice to have

• Expertise running containerized workloads with Docker, Kubernetes, or Nomad, plus IaC with Terraform or Pulumi.
• Knowledge of public-cloud primitives and cost optimization.
• Familiarity with modern inference tooling (e.g., vLLM, Ray, Triton, llama.cpp) and GPU/TPU performance bottlenecks.
• A history of thriving in early-stage startups.

Culture & Benefits

• Competitive salary and equity package.
• Health, dental, and vision insurance.
• Bonuses based on performance.
• Commitment to providing support to immigrant workers.
