Senior Ia Inference Engineer (X/F/M)
Doctolib
Paris
Set a new pulse for healthcare!
What you'll do
- Build the shared LLM serving foundations with MLOps engineers — define the serving stack, GPU capacity planning, and deployment automation for open-weight models (Gemma, Mistral, Llama, Qwen, and their fine-tuned variants) on Ray Serve / Anyscale, while shaping the evolution toward Kubernetes-based orchestration
- Own the model registry and promotion path — establish clear processes for versioning, validating, and promoting models into production, benchmark performance and output quality under realistic workloads, and maintain the curated model catalog together with the Agents Platform team
- Optimize inference performance and efficiency — operate and tune serving engines (vLLM, Triton Inference Server, TensorRT-LLM) to reduce time-to-first-token, inter-token latency, and cost per token through batching, caching, quantization, and parallelism strategies across our GPU fleet (L4 to H200)
- Own production reliability and disaster recovery — define SLOs, run load tests before launches, implement safe rollouts, rollbacks, and autoscaling, and participate in on-call and incident response
- Make serving performance and costs measurable — build Datadog dashboards, alerting, and cost reporting to track latency, GPU utilization, and inference spend, and identify opportunities to improve resource efficiency
- Keep the inference stack secure, compliant, and evolving — work with Security and Privacy on network isolation, data residency, and auditability, while continuously assessing new models, serving engines (such as SGLang), and GPU generations
Who you are
- Have 5+ years of software or computer engineering experience, including hands-on production experience with at least one LLM serving engine (vLLM, SGLang, TensorRT-LLM, TGI, or Triton) — ideally having chosen, introduced, tuned, or scaled one in production, not just run it with defaults
- Are proficient in Python and Terraform, with a solid understanding of transformer inference mechanics: prefill vs. decode, KV cache, batching strategies, and why a model is compute- or memory-bound on a given GPU
- Have strong experience running GPU workloads on Kubernetes or a managed Ray / Anyscale platform, and a performance engineering mindset — you design reproducible benchmarks, read profiler output, and back decisions with numbers
- Are comfortable owning production reliability: observability, incident response, and on-call are a natural part of the role
- Have excellent communication and collaboration skills, high agency, a pragmatic build-vs-buy approach, and are comfortable working in a scope that is still taking shape
- Are fluent in English
- Have experience with distributed serving frameworks (KServe, llm-d, NVIDIA Dynamo), including disaggregated prefill/decode or KV-cache-aware routing, or with serving Mixture-of-Experts, multimodal models, or many LoRA adapters on shared base models
- Have GPU kernel experience or deep profiling skills (CUDA, Triton, Nsight), or have contributed to open-source inference projects
- Have experience in regulated environments (healthcare, finance, public sector) and with frameworks such as GDPR, HDS, ISO 27001, or SOC 2
