Job description

Systems Research Engineer - Distributed Systems / C++


We are currently partnered with a globally leading research centre in the UK looking to expand their team with a Systems Research Engineer. This is an incredibly high calibre team reshaping how large-scale models are trained and served through next-generation AI-native infrastructure and "super-node" clusters.


This is a permanent opportunity based onsite in Edinburgh.


Key responsibilities for this Systems Research Engineer position:

  • Architect and implement distributed system components for AI workloads across CPU, GPU, and NPU clusters.
  • Conduct in-depth profiling and performance tuning of inference pipelines, focusing on KV cache management.
  • Develop low-latency, fault-tolerant AI serving frameworks using vLLM, Ray Serve, and PyTorch Distributed.
  • Research and prototype novel techniques for cache sharing, data locality, and resource orchestration.
  • Translate innovative designs into publishable contributions at top-tier venues (e.g., OSDI, NSDI, MLSys).
  • Collaborate with global research teams to drive the internal adoption of novel system architectures.


Key Requirements:

  • Preferably a PhD, at minimum a masters degree, in Computer Science, distributed systems, or related field.
  • Strong knowledge of Distributed Systems, OS internals, and Machine Learning systems architecture.
  • Hands-on experience with LLM serving frameworks (vLLM, Ray Serve, TensorRT-LLM, or TGI).
  • Proficiency in C/C++ for systems development and Python for research prototyping.
  • Solid grounding in distributed algorithms, load balancing, and state management.
  • Proven ability to conduct systems research, ideally evidenced by publications in top-tier conferences.
  • Keywords: Systems Research Engineer / Distributed Systems / AI Infrastructure / LLM Serving / vLLM / KV Cache / Performance Optimization / Machine Learning Systems / C++ / Python / Ray Serve / PyTorch Distributed / Cloud Infrastructure
