We're looking for a Staff Engineer to take technical ownership of latency, throughput, and reliability across Runware's AI inference platform.
This is a senior technical leadership role for someone who obsesses over performance at scale, from request ingress through GPU execution to result delivery, and who can consistently turn ambitious targets such as sub-one-second inference into production reality.
As a Staff Engineer, you will define and drive the architecture, standards, and execution needed to make Runware one of the fastest and most reliable inference platforms in the market. You will work deeply across backend services, distributed systems, GPU workloads, and infrastructure, partnering closely with product, ML, and platform teams.
This role is ideal for someone who enjoys operating at the intersection of systems design, performance engineering, and real-world scale, and who wants clear ownership over outcomes that matter directly to customers.
What You'll Do
Requirements What We're Looking For
Nice to haves
Benefits We're a remote-first collective, meeting in person twice a year to plan, brainstorm, celebrate wins, and enjoy some face-to-face time. We have core hours for cooperative working and calls, but outside of that your calendar is yours. Work the hours that let you perform at your peak while also building a healthy life.
Our release cycles are fast and intense, but they're followed by real downtime. After big pushes we expect the team to unplug, recharge, and come back ready & stronger than ever for the next leap.
Please note: We are unable to offer visa sponsorship in the UK at this time. Candidates must have existing right to work in the UK.
