## About the Role

Do you have experience in Technical troubleshooting support?, * Strong software engineering background (Python required; Go / Rust a plus)

 * Hands-on experience with ML inference or training systems
 * Familiarity with distributed systems and GPUs (multi-GPU, multi-node)
 * Comfort working directly with customers and ambiguous requirements
 * Ability to debug end-to-end systems (code, infra, networking, performance)

Nice to Have

 * Experience with:
 * LLM inference frameworks (vLLM, SGLang, Ray Serve, Triton, etc.)
 * RL or post-training workflows (RLHF, RFT, SFT)
 * PyTorch, DeepSpeed, Megatron-LM, or similar
 * Kubernetes-based ML platforms
 * GPU performance profiling and optimization
 * Prior experience as:
 * Forward Deployed Engineer
 * Solutions Engineer
 * ML Platform Engineer
 * Applied Research Engineer, * Engineers who like shipping over theorizing
 * People who enjoy being the last mile problem solver
 * Builders who want exposure to both deep systems and applied ML
 * Those excited by early-stage POCs that turn into real production systems

## Description

We're looking for a Forward Deployment Engineer (FDE) to work directly with customers and partners to design, deploy, and validate inference and reinforcement learning (RL) proof-of-concepts on GMI's GPU infrastructure., Own customer POCs end-to-end

 * Deploy and optimize LLM inference, RL training, and post-training workflows on GMI clusters
 * Translate customer requirements into concrete system designs and experiments

Forward-deploy with customers

 * Work hands-on with research teams, startups, and enterprise customers
 * Debug performance, stability, and correctness issues in real environments

Inference deployment

 * Stand up and tune inference stacks (e.g. vLLM / SGLang / Ray Serve-style architectures)
 * Optimize latency, throughput, GPU utilization, and cost efficiency

RL & post-training POCs

 * Support RLHF / RFT / SFT workflows using customer-provided datasets
 * Integrate SDKs, training APIs, and cluster resources to shorten idea experiment cycles

Performance & reliability

 * Diagnose GPU, networking, and distributed system bottlenecks
 * Run benchmarks, profiling, and stress tests on multi-GPU / multi-node setups

Feedback loop to product

 * Feed real-world customer learnings back into GMI's platform, SDKs, and APIs
 * Help shape reference architectures, cookbooks, and best practices
