Overview
Inferact's mission is to grow vLLM as the world's AI inference engine and accelerate AI progress by making inference cheaper and faster. Founded by the creators and core maintainers of vLLM, we sit at the intersection of models and hardware, a position that took years to build.
About the Role
We're looking for a Graphic Designer to own the visual system for vLLM and Inferact across launches, technical content, partnerships, events, presentations, and web surfaces.
This is a hands-on design role for someone who can move quickly from technical concepts to polished diagrams, campaign assets, booth graphics, decks, and live Webflow pages. You will become the day-to-day owner of the brand system while building reusable design infrastructure for engineers and marketers.
