About Us

Here at Fireworks, we're building the future of generative AI infrastructure. Fireworks offers the generative AI platform with the highest-quality models and the fastest, most scalable inference. We've been independently benchmarked to have the fastest LLM inference and have been getting great traction with innovative research projects, like our own function calling and multi-modal models. Fireworks is funded by top investors, like Benchmark and Sequoia, and we're an ambitious, fun team composed primarily of veterans from Pytorch and Google Vertex AI.

The Role

As a Software Engineer on our Cloud Infrastructure team, you will help design and build the core systems that power Fireworks AI's generative AI platform. You will work on projects that support distributed AI workloads across multiple cloud environments, building tools and services that keep our platform fast, reliable, and scalable.

This is an exciting opportunity for a new graduate who wants to grow as a software engineer and work hands-on with cloud infrastructure, distributed systems, and large-scale machine learning platforms. You will collaborate closely with experienced engineers, learn from technical mentors, and contribute to the next generation of AI infrastructure.

Key Responsibilities
