Member of Technical Staff, New Grad (BS/MS)New$160K–$180K
The opportunity
This role is built for new graduates who want to work on real AI systems, in production, from the start. As a MTS at Fireworks, you'll write and ship code that runs on one of the busiest inference platforms in the world — serving hundreds of models to developers and enterprises at massive scale.
What you'll do
Ship production code: Design, build, and deploy features and services that customers depend on every day
Own problems end to end: Take a problem from ambiguous idea through design, implementation, testing, rollout, and operation
Make things faster and more reliable: Improve the performance, efficiency, and scalability of the systems you work on
Work with modern AI systems: Build with, on top of, or underneath large models — depending on your team, that could mean serving them, training them, evaluating them, or building products powered by them
Debug hard things: Dig into unfamiliar code and unfamiliar failures, and get to the root cause
Collaborate broadly: Work closely with engineers, researchers, product, and — on some teams — directly with customers
What they're looking for
- Hands-on experience building with LLMs or other ML models: coursework, projects, and internships all count
- Experience with GPU programming, CUDA, kernel optimization, or performance profiling
- Experience with distributed systems, Kubernetes, or cloud infrastructure (AWS/GCP/Azure)
- Experience with PyTorch, model training, fine-tuning (SFT, RLHF/RFT), or inference serving
- Experience shipping a full-stack or agentic application end to end, not just a notebook
- Familiarity with evaluation, RAG systems, or observability for ML systems
- Open-source contributions, competitive programming, or research publications
