Join our cutting-edge research team as a PhD candidate specializing in computer science, electrical engineering, or a related field to investigate and evaluate emerging disaggregated key-value (KV) cache architectures. You will implement hierarchical storage systems with multiple tiers and develop a Peer-to-Peer (P2P) service KV cache sharing architecture that enables direct high-performance cache transfer between multiple large language model (LLM) serving instances without centralized servers. Your daily tasks include researching, prototyping, and simulating advanced distributed system designs while collaborating across disciplines to solve complex AI inference bottlenecks. Proficiency in Python, C/C++, and familiarity with PyTorch, CUDA, Triton, and performance-simulation tools are essential, along with a strong background in large-scale system design and hardware-software co-design principles.
