Senior Inference Reliability Engineer
Parasail, San Mateo
The role
The Senior/Staff Inference Reliability Engineer will own the end-to-end reliability and production performance of customer inference workloads. This role sits at the intersection of inference platform engineering, LLM performance, and infrastructure reliability.
You will ensure that customer endpoints meet expectations for availability, latency, throughput, quality, and cost. When an endpoint degrades, you will follow the problem across the entire serving path—from APIs, routing, scheduling, and autoscaling through model servers, GPUs, networking, and underlying infrastructure—and drive it through resolution.
This is not a traditional DevOps role focused only on clusters and deployments. It is a production systems role for an engineer who enjoys investigating ambiguous performance problems, building diagnostic tooling, and turning recurring incidents into durable platform improvements.
