Your mission
You will expand the capabilities of Lyceum’s AI inference platform, the first EU-sovereign inference cloud. You’ll own the features that customers interact with directly: model serving configurations, API surface, framework integrations, and developer experience. This means understanding what customers need, building it fast, and making sure it works reliably at scale.
Your focus
•
Feature development: Design and ship new platform capabilities - from supporting new model architectures and serving frameworks to building out API features that customers are asking for.
•
Customer-facing engineering: Work closely with customers and the commercial team to understand real-world usage patterns, translate feature requests into technical designs, and iterate based on feedback.
•
Developer experience: Improve the end-to-end experience of deploying and running inference on Lyceum, from initial setup through to monitoring and debugging in production.
Your KPIs
•
Number of platform features shipped
•
Time from customer request to feature availability
•
Breadth of supported models, frameworks, and deployment configurations
Your profile
We consider candidates from diverse backgrounds, with a deep love for technical challenges and the desire to take on ownership beyond what’s reasonably expected. You’re someone who stays close to the rapidly evolving open-source AI ecosystem and gets energy from turning emerging tools into production-grade platform capabilities.
