You'll own latency and throughput across two serving stacks. One handles production traffic for customers. The other powers test-time compute and RL rollouts for the research team, so every gain you make speeds up the research itself.
What You'll Do
Cut latency and raise throughput for model serving at very high concurrency
Speed up RL rollout generation and scale test-time compute for research
Tune batching, caching, load balancing and parallelism across the serving stack
Write and profile GPU kernels in CUDA and Triton
Apply quantization, distillation, speculative decoding and low-precision numerics
Shape model and hardware co-design with serving cost in view from day one
Own benchmarking, testing and reliability for every inference service
What You'll Bring
Essential
Production experience with vLLM, TensorRT-LLM or similar at high concurrency
Hands-on continuous batching and KV cache management
Quantization for inference in production
Profiling and performance analysis with CUDA and Triton
Desirable
Speculative decoding or multi-node serving
Performance tuning on H100 or B200 hardware
Kubernetes and production infrastructure
We encourage you to apply even if you don't meet every requirement. The right mindset matters as much as the right CV.

You'll run controlled experiments on large models and let the data settle the arguments. You'll have the compute to test real hypotheses at scale, plus room to lead your own projects alongside the flagship runs.
What You'll Do
Research model architecture, training algorithms, optimisers and data pipelines
Lead small projects independently while contributing to flagship training runs
Design scaling-law experiments that set data, architecture and hyperparameter choices
Scale training across thousands of accelerators with sound fault tolerance
Build the dev tooling that keeps the research team moving quickly
Work across the stack, from kernel throughput to high-level model design
Design for downstream serving cost as well as model quality
What You'll Bring
Essential

Senior AI Engineer – AI Agents & Automation
? Greater Boston, MA – On-site Monday - Thursday, Friday is work from home day
? Full-time
? Reporting to: Managing Partner
About the Firm
Our client is a leading private equity firm with a strong track record of building and scaling high-quality businesses. The firm combines investment expertise with hands-on operational experience, and is now looking at how AI can transform the way its own teams operate and create value across the business.
The Opportunity
We're looking for a highly hands-on AI Engineer to take ownership of building and deploying internal AI capability. This is not a strategy, advisory, or people-management role — it's a builder role.
You'll work directly with senior leadership and employees across the firm to understand how work is currently performed, identify opportunities for automation, and build AI agents and applications that remove repetitive work. An example: understanding how an investment associate monitors portfolio companies, then building an AI-powered system to automate the research, data collection, analysis and reporting involved.
Initially your focus will be the firm's management company and a small, close-knit team. Longer term, there's significant potential to expand AI capabilities across the firm's portfolio companies — for someone who delivers, there's no predefined ceiling on this role.
What You'll Do
Work directly with senior leadership on bottlenecks and repetitive processes
Translate business problems into clearly defined technical solutions
Design, build and deploy production-grade AI agents and applications
Build agentic workflows involving reasoning, retrieval, data processing and interaction with internal systems
Integrate LLMs with existing applications, documents, databases and third-party platforms
Build retrieval/knowledge systems (RAG) for internal company information
Implement evaluation, monitoring and observability for AI systems in production
Design human-in-the-loop processes where full automation isn't appropriate
Establish controls around data access, permissions and sensitive information
Measure impact — time saved, adoption, productivity gains
The initial focus will be automating management company finance, including:
Accounts receivable, payment matching, collections and exception handling.
Management fee calculations, invoicing and reconciliations.
Expense management and transaction coding.
Month-end close and management reporting.
Cash forecasting, budgeting and financial analysis.
Controls, approvals, monitoring and audit trails around automated workflows.
You’ll work with existing systems including QuickBooks, Ramp, Allvue and Chronograph, taking solutions from initial business requirement through to production.
What We're Looking For
Strong software engineering skills, ideally with significant Python experience
Experience building production applications using LLMs (OpenAI, Anthropic, or similar)
Experience building AI agents and multi-step agentic workflows
RAG, embeddings, semantic search, vector databases
API development, backend/service architecture
Cloud infrastructure (AWS/Azure/GCP) and containerization (Docker)
Comfort designing reliable systems around non-deterministic AI models
A builder mentality: you'd rather ship a working prototype than write a deck about what could be built
Comfort operating with significant autonomy and ambiguity
Strong communication — able to explain technical concepts to non-technical senior stakeholders
Experience with LangGraph, LangChain, LlamaIndex or similar is useful, but we care more about your ability to design robust systems than any specific framework.
Why This Role
This is a rare opportunity to build an AI function from the ground up, with direct access to senior leadership and no legacy platform to inherit. The initial mandate is focused — deliver measurable value for the management company — but the trajectory is open-ended, with real potential to extend into the firm's wider portfolio!
A couple of important requirements: this is an on-site role in Waltham, MA, and the firm is unable to provide visa sponsorship. Candidates must therefore already have unrestricted US work authorization as either a US Citizen or Green Card holder and be able to work on-site in Waltham
Please apply with your resume for more details
We look forward to hearing from you
