Job details
About the Role As a Staff Platform Engineer - AI Infrastructure, you will build and scale the infrastructure behind Paytm's AI inference platform, serving internal teams and enterprise customers and supporting new customer use cases from the ground up. You will own GPU infrastructure, model hosting and serving, and multi-model routing across modalities. This includes running our own coding and domain-specific models (voice, vision, risk, fintech workflows) as well as third-party models on shared GPU and accelerator clusters.You will also build self-service platforms that let teams provision, compute, deploy and customize models, and manage resources through APIs and control planes, so they can use AI without rebuilding infrastructure each time.Your work will form the AI control plane for Paytm Intelligence (Pi): policy-driven routing, quotas, observability, and usage and cost visibility. It will directly affect how fast we ship agents and AI features, how reliably they run, and how efficiently we use our hardware across payments, risk, fraud, collections, support, and developer experience. What You'll Do Design and operate GPU infrastructure for model hosting, including provisioning, scheduling, and cost optimization across cloud and on-premise environmentsBuild and scale model serving systems using vLLM, TensorRT-LLM, Triton, or equivalent, supporting real-time inference with strong latency and availability guaranteesImplement multi-model routing to serve multiple models across modalities (text, voice, code, vision) on shared infrastructureOwn the model lifecycle end to end: download, deploy, serve, monitor, swap, and scaleDrive inference optimization including quantization strategies (AWQ, GPTQ), batching, caching, and cold start reductionBuild self-service infrastructure platforms where teams provision compute, storage, and model endpoints through APIs, and control planesImplement infrastructure-as-code at scale using Terraform, Pulumi, or CDKBuild observability and reliability for inference systems: SLIs/SLOs, GPU utilization monitoring, latency tracking, automated capacity planning, and alertingDefine platform standards and governance including multi-tenant isolation, cost attribution, and resource quotasLead architectural design and influence engineering direction across the AI infrastructure stack What You'll Bring 8+ years of software engineering experience, including 3+ years building infrastructure platforms or ML/AI infrastructureDeep experience with cloud infrastructure (AWS, GCP) and KubernetesHands on experience with GPU workloads and model serving (vLLM, TensorRT-LLM, Triton, or similar)Strong software engineering fundamentals in Python, Go, or C++Experience with infrastructure-as-code (Terraform, Pulumi, CDK)Experience designing self service platforms or internal developer toolingUnderstanding of model optimization: quantization, batching, serving architecturesProven ability to lead complex cross team technical initiativesStrong communication skills and the ability to influence technical direction Nice to Have Experience building or operating inference infrastructure at scaleExperience with CUDA, GPU scheduling, or hardware level optimizationExperience with multi model serving across different modalitiesExperience with edge inference or on device model deploymentExperience with model fine tuning infrastructure (LoRA, QLoRA, PEFT)Background in fintech or regulated industries Go Big or Go Home!
