Sign up with Clera and we'll reach out the moment a role actually fits you — no more spraying applications into the void.
Define and drive the technical strategy for inference-systems performance, including workload capture, benchmarking, and performance modeling. Serve as the senior technical voice across engineering teams to optimize distributed inference pipelines and inform system planning.
Requires 12+ years of experience in performance engineering with a proven record of technical leadership on large-scale, complex systems. Candidates must possess deep expertise in end-to-end performance analysis, simulation, and the ability to localize bottlenecks in distributed environments.
The era of pervasive AI has arrived. In this era, organizations will use generative AI to unlock hidden value in their data, accelerate processes, reduce costs, drive efficiency and innovation to fundamentally transform their businesses and operations at scale.
SambaNova Suite™ is the first full-stack, generative AI platform, from chip to model, optimized for enterprise and government organizations. Powered by the intelligent SN40L chip, the SambaNova Suite is a fully integrated platform, delivered on-premises or in the cloud, combined with state-of-the-art open-source models that can be easily and securely fine-tuned using customer data for greater accuracy. Once adapted with customer data, customers retain model ownership in perpetuity, so they can turn generative AI into one of their most valuable assets.
The Inference Systems Performance team answers how fast SambaNova's systems can serve large language models and what it takes to get there. We capture real production traffic, benchmark it faithfully, model and simulate configurations that do not exist yet, and profile the distributed serving pipeline across host, accelerator, and fabric. Our work feeds serving optimization today and hardware and capacity planning for the next generation. We sit close to model optimization, systems, hardware, and product, and the whole company depends on our numbers.
You will be the architect for end-to-end inference performance: how a request moves through tokenization, prefill, decode, and the fabric between them, and how a deployment is sized against customer SLOs. The work has two coupled pillars. One is reproducible workload capture and benchmarking, building replayable representations of real and increasingly agentic traffic so measurements reflect production rather than a naive load script. The other is performance modeling and simulation, turning measurement into a what-if capability for configurations and hardware that do not exist yet.
The frontier you will help define is heterogeneous, disaggregated inference, with GPU on prefill and the RDU on decode. That opens hard problems in networking, storage, prompt caching, and tail-latency-bound data movement. Inference systems performance is a young field and most answers are still being discovered, so you will spend your time on ambiguous problems with no established solution, and you will set the technical direction that others build on.

Transforming AI with efficiency, security, and sovereignty - driven by our relentless pursuit of intelligence.
Welcome to SambaNova: Revolutionizing AI Capacity At SambaNova, we're empowering developers, enterprises, governments, and data centers to unlock their full AI potential. Our full-stack infrastructure, from chips to models, enables lightning-fast performance, low power consumption, and high-efficiency computing. Our Mission To give every developer, enterprise, government and data center absolute sovereignty over their own data, models and AI infrastructure – to future-proof the AI workloads that will power and scale tomorrow. Our Technology We give our customers the optionality to experience SambaNova through the cloud or on-premise. Samba Cloud delivers the fastest inferences on the largest open source models like Llama 4 and DeepSeek. Developers can get started building in minutes with our OpenAI compatible APIs. All customers start on the developer tier and when they need more capacity can scale into our enterprise tier. SambaStack is our on-premise offering which includes the system, the platform, and foundation models. These components combine into a powerful technology stack that delivers unparalleled performance, ease of use, accuracy, data privacy, and the ability to power every use case across the world's largest organizations. SambaManaged is a modular and ready-to-deploy AI cloud designed to deliver unmatched efficiency for data centers and cloud service providers. This solution allows organizations to quickly deploy advanced AI inference services—without the need for costly infrastructure upgrades or specialized expertise—in as little as 90 days. At the heart of SambaNova innovation is the Reconfigurable Dataflow Unit (RDU). Purpose built for AI workloads, the RDU takes advantage of a dataflow architecture and a three-tiered memory design. The three tiers of memory enable the platform to run hundreds of models on a single node and to switch between them in microseconds. In 2023, SambaNova released its 4th generation RDU chip, the SN40L.
