About the role

Our clients' models work. They're just too expensive to run. A single inference call costs $0.12 when it should cost $0.003. Latency is 800ms when the product needs 200ms. GPU utilization is 30% when it should be 85%. That's the gap you'll close. We're a consulting firm that specializes in ML model optimization. Each engagement is scoped: audit the model and serving infrastructure, identify the biggest optimization levers, implement changes, and measure the impact. Typical engagements produce 5-10x cost reduction and 3-5x latency improvement. This is freelance work with a steady engagement pipeline. We need someone who can quantize models without destroying accuracy, optimize batch processing for GPU throughput, and redesign serving architectures for cost efficiency. If you've ever looked at an AWS bill for GPU instances and thought 'I can fix that,' we want you.

Fully remote.

Responsibilities

  • Audit client model serving infrastructure for cost and performance optimization
  • Implement model quantization and pruning without accuracy degradation
  • Redesign serving architectures for cost efficiency and lower latency
  • Optimize GPU utilization through batching and scheduling improvements
  • Deliver measurable cost and latency improvements per engagement

Requirements

  • 5+ years in ML engineering with model optimization experience
  • Deep PyTorch and TensorFlow skills including quantization techniques
  • Experience with ONNX, TensorRT, or similar optimization frameworks
  • Kubernetes and AWS expertise for serving infrastructure
  • Track record of measurable cost or latency improvements

Benefits

  • Freelance with steady engagement pipeline
  • Fully remote
  • Premium consulting rates
  • Diverse client exposure across industries
