Member of Technical Staff – AI Inference platform, features
Lyceum · Zürich
Your mission
You will expand the capabilities of Lyceum's AI inference platform, the first EU-sovereign inference cloud. You'll own the features that customers interact with directly: model serving configurations, API surface, framework integrations, and developer experience. This means understanding what customers need, building it fast, and making sure it works reliably at scale.
Your focus
Feature development: Design and ship new platform capabilities - from supporting new model architectures and serving frameworks to building out API features that customers are asking for.
Customer-facing engineering: Work closely with customers and the commercial team to understand real-world usage patterns, translate feature requests into technical designs, and iterate based on feedback.
Developer experience: Improve the end-to-end experience of deploying and running inference on Lyceum, from initial setup through to monitoring and debugging in production.
Your KPIs
Number of platform features shipped
Time from customer request to feature availability
Breadth of supported models, frameworks, and deployment configurations
Your profile
We consider candidates from diverse backgrounds, with a deep love for technical challenges and the desire to take on ownership beyond what's reasonably expected. You're someone who stays close to the rapidly evolving open-source AI ecosystem and gets energy from turning emerging tools into production-grade platform capabilities.
