Meet the team: Release Engineering builds cost-efficient AI platforms for product teams and internal developers. We operate traditional ML and generative AI models at scale on GCP/GKE, automate model delivery, and manage usage across self-hosted and external providers.

You will independently deliver platform components and measurable cost and efficiency improvements. Where you come in: * You will build and operate scalable model serving on GKE, including vLLM; measure and reduce cost per request and token. * You will implement AI gateways using tools such as LiteLLM, with multi-provider integration, cost-aware routing, and reliable fallbacks. * You will automate internal developer access, team budgets, usage limits, and spend alerts across self-hosted models and providers such as Vertex AI and OpenAI. * You will build usage and cost reporting by developer, team, model, and provider; reconcile token accounting with provider billing and infrastructure spend. * You will build CI/CD and GitOps automation for model pipelines, registry promotion, validation, deployment, and rollback; manage infrastructure as code. * You will tune caching, batching, resource allocation, and autoscaling using load tests and telemetry to lower unit cost within model-quality, latency, and reliability targets. * You will resolve platform incidents with partner teams; improve tests, runbooks, and release reliability. What makes you successful: * You have experience independently delivering production software or cloud-platform components using Python and automated tests. * You have hands-on GCP/Kubernetes experience operating and right-sizing model-serving or compute workloads. * You have experience building CI/CD, GitOps, and infrastructure-as-code automation with tools such as Terraform or Pulumi. * You have experience measuring usage, attributing costs, and improving cloud unit economics; multi-provider gateways such as LiteLLM are preferred. * You have strong troubleshooting and collaboration skills; vLLM, model registries, or comparable model-delivery experience is preferred.
