As a Senior AI Infrastructure Engineer at Sword Health, you will own the infrastructure that brings our AI models to life in production. From optimizing LLM inference and deploying real-time voice AI agents to scaling GPU clusters that serve millions of sessions, your work will directly power the AI Care platform that is transforming healthcare worldwide.
You will sit at the intersection of ML and infrastructure - designing systems that power real-time computer vision for movement analysis, serve large language models for conversational AI, and enable low-latency voice interactions for AI agents. You'll ensure our models run at the speed and scale our members expect. This is not a traditional DevOps role; you'll be deeply embedded in AI-specific challenges like inference optimization, real-time video processing, model serving at scale, and GPU workload orchestration.
If you're passionate about pushing the boundaries of AI infrastructure performance and want to do it in a mission-driven environment where your work directly improves people's health outcomes, we'd love to have you on our team.
Design, build, and maintain the inference infrastructure that powers Sword Health's AI products, ensuring models are served with high throughput, low latency, and cost efficiency.
Own the end-to-end deployment pipeline for AI models - from real-time computer vision powering movement analysis to large language models driving conversational AI experiences.
Architect and scale Kubernetes clusters for GPU-accelerated workloads, including autoscaling strategies, resource scheduling, and multi-model serving.
Build and operate the infrastructure behind Sword Health's real-time AI agents, including WebRTC cluster provisioning and deploying speech-to-text and text-to-speech capabilities at low latency.
Drive inference scaling strategies - evaluate and implement techniques such as speculative decoding, continuous batching, and model parallelism to meet growing demand without proportionally increasing costs.
Develop and maintain Infrastructure as Code (Terraform) and GitOps workflows tailored to GPU-enabled, AI-specific environments.
Instrument and monitor AI inference systems, building observability around GPU utilization, model latency, throughput, and error rates to ensure reliability and performance.
Collaborate closely with ML Engineers, Data Scientists, and Product teams to translate model requirements into robust, production-ready infrastructure.
Evaluate emerging AI infrastructure tools, frameworks, and hardware to keep Sword Health at the cutting edge of inference performance and efficiency.
Mentor team members on AI infrastructure best practices, fostering knowledge sharing around GPU workloads, model serving patterns, and production ML systems.
5+ years of experience in infrastructure engineering, with at least 2 years focused on AI/ML workloads in production environments.
Strong experience with Kubernetes for orchestrating GPU-accelerated workloads, including scheduling, resource management, and autoscaling for inference services.
Hands-on experience with model serving and inference optimization frameworks for both real-time computer vision and large language model workloads.
Solid understanding of LLM inference optimization techniques, including speculative decoding, batching strategies, quantization, and inference scaling patterns.
Experience provisioning and managing infrastructure for real-time AI systems, including WebRTC clusters and AI agent architectures.
Familiarity with real-time video/computer vision inference pipelines and the infrastructure challenges of processing continuous visual data streams at low latency.
Familiarity with speech-to-text and text-to-speech serving infrastructure and the challenges of running voice AI at low latency.
Experience with Infrastructure as Code (Terraform or similar) and GitOps methodologies for managing complex, GPU-enabled environments.
Working knowledge of GPU infrastructure - NVIDIA CUDA ecosystem, multi-GPU setups, and GPU monitoring/profiling.
Strong Linux systems fundamentals and networking knowledge, particularly for latency-sensitive, real-time workloads.
Fluent in English (written and oral).
A proactive, ownership-driven mindset - you see a bottleneck in an inference pipeline and you fix it before it becomes a problem.
