Software Engineer, Cloud

About the Role

You'll build Ollama’s cloud, a scalable inference platform that lets developers run large, capable open models in their workflow. You'll work on high-throughput, low-latency distributed systems - inference serving, GPU fleet management, routing, metering, and the platform that Pro, Max, Team, and Enterprise customers rely on to process trillions of tokens.

What You'll Do

• Build and scale the inference platform that serves every request from ollama.com
• Design the routing and capacity layer that places workloads across GPUs and regions for cost, latency, and availability.
• Own multi-tenant infrastructure: isolation, quotas, usage metering, billing, and Pro/Max/team/enterprise tiering.
• Build the reliability, observability, and cost controls for our team and customers

You May Be a Fit If

• You have deep experience with high-throughput, low-latency distributed systems - inference serving, traffic routing, real-time data pipelines, or large-scale APIs.
• You're comfortable with cost/performance tradeoffs at scale and have owned a production service end-to-end.
• You've worked with Kubernetes, GPU scheduling, or inference infrastructure.
• You think in terms of reliability, SLOs, and honest capacity planning.
• Bonus: experience building an inference platform, GPU fleet management, or billing/metering for an AI service.
