The work focuses on decode latency, throughput under representative load, price-performance, long-context and multi-chip scaling, and reproducible benchmarking against leading GPU platforms.Your roleImprove decode latency, throughput, and cost on AWS Trainium platforms, validating correctness at every step. Initial priorities include speculative decoding and native multi-token prediction (MTP) for Qwen-family models in vLLM on AWS Neuron.Design and run matched, reproducible tests against leading GPU platforms, controlling prompts, concurrency, cache state, and warm-up. Deliver latency-throughput Pareto frontiers and price-performance comparisons aligned with customer service-level objectives.Benchmark and migrate workloads across Trainium generations, including Trainium2 and Trainium3. Scale serving on multi-chip Trainium systems for long-context workloads, including contexts of 100K tokens or more, and apply architecture-specific optimizations.Extend model coverage. Onboard additional architectures, including hybrid state-space and mixture-of-experts models, reusing and generalizing existing implementations where practical.Create runbooks, implementation guides, and benchmark documentation, and support hands-on workshops so customer engineers can operate, reproduce, and tune the stack independently.Your skills and experience5+ years of experience in machine learning or systems engineering, including 2+ years focused on production model inference or serving.Strong proficiency in Python and PyTorch, with the ability to read and modify model implementations involving attention, mixture-of-experts routing, and KV-cache management.Hands-on experience with an LLM serving framework such as vLLM, TensorRT-LLM, SGLang, or Triton Inference Server.Deep understanding of LLM inference performance, including prefill and decode, continuous batching, tensor and expert parallelism, and their impact on latency, throughput, and cost.Experience profiling and optimizing accelerator workloads at the framework, compiler, or kernel level, and designing rigorous performance experiments.Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to explain engineering trade-offs to technical audiences and business impact to senior stakeholders .Preferred qualifications include experience with AWS Trainium/Inferentia, the AWS Neuron SDK, and optimizing AI inference workloads, along with expertise in accelerator migrations, speculative decoding techniques, and kernel development using NKI, Triton, or CUDA.The base compensation range for this role in the posted location is: $72,056 - $138,940/yearCapgemini provides compensation range information in accordance with applicable national, state, provincial, and local pay transparency laws.
