The Team You will join a dynamic AI Infrastructure team focused on enabling high-performance AI across Zoom's products and services. The team builds the core systems that support model training, deployment, and inference at scale, driving innovation in areas such as real-time communication, computer vision, and natural language understanding. What you can expect You will build and optimize the inference systems that serve Zoom's AI models in production. Working alongside senior inference engineers, research and platform teams, you will profile serving workloads, find the bottlenecks that limit latency, throughput and cost, and ship the fixes. You will work close to the metal: inside inference frameworks, GPU profiles and serving infrastructure. Responsibilities Build, tune and maintain components of Zoom's inference serving stack for transformer and multimodal models, including large and Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) architectures Implement and evaluate inference optimisations such as speculative decoding, continuous batching, KV cache management, parallelism layouts and quantisation (INT4/INT8/FP8) Extend and customise inference frameworks (vLLM, SGLang, TensorRT-LLM or equivalent) to support new models and Zoom's production requirements Profile GPU workloads with Nsight Systems or equivalent tools, root-cause performance regressions, and validate improvements with reproducible benchmarks Build and improve internal tooling for benchmarking, performance modelling and serving configuration Partner with researchers to bring new model architectures into production efficiently Contribute to on-call and production support for the services you build, with guidance from senior engineers What we're looking for A degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering or a related field (MS or PhD preferred), or equivalent practical experience 0–3 years of software engineering experience; internships, research and open-source work in ML systems count Hands-on experience with at least one inference framework (vLLM, SGLang, TensorRT-LLM or ONNX Runtime), at the level of serving and modifying it, not only exporting models Working knowledge of how LLM inference performs on GPUs: memory bandwidth, KV cache, batching, and communication across GPUs Experience profiling and debugging GPU performance, with evidence of an optimisation you measured and shipped Depth in at least one of: speculative decoding, continuous batching, KV cache design, quantisation, distributed or multi-GPU serving Strong programming skills in Python and C++, and comfort reading and changing large framework codebases Preferred Merged contributions to vLLM, SGLang, TensorRT-LLM, PyTorch or similar projects CUDA, Triton or CUTLASS kernel development Experience serving MoE or 100B+ parameter models, or multi-node inference (NCCL, RDMA/RoCE) Graduate coursework or research in ML systems, compilers or high-performance computing Salary Range or On Target Earnings: $137,700.00 - $275,400.00 In addition to the base salary and/or OTE listed Zoom has a Total Direct Compensation philosophy that takes into consideration; base salary, bonus and equity value.
