Software Engineer, Infrastructure

Summary

At Imbue, we leverage large amounts of compute to make our small research team more effective. This role is about enabling and supporting those large-scale compute efforts and all of the other software infrastructure that goes into making research a pleasant, seamless experience for the rest of the team, especially as we scale to increasingly higher scale systems.

Example Projects

• Build and manage wrapper tools that allow code written for single hosts to scale seamlessly to large GPU clusters.
• Debug distributed exceptions and improve our logging and tracing stack.
• Design improvements to systems that manage secrets, configurations, ongoing jobs, and other stateful components of our software.
• Search out and prototype possible additions to our software stack that can integrate and provide extra leverage to pain points in typical workflows.
• Dig deeply into open-source or third-party code, including C / C++ libraries, to add debugging information or patch in performance improvements.
• Work collaboratively with other members of the team to debug, provide guidance, and design software that is resilient to hardware and networking failures as well as third party tooling issues.
• In summary : make good abstractions so that other engineers on the team can work at a higher level and everything else works seamlessly.

About Us

Imbue builds AI systems that reason and code, enabling AI agents to accomplish larger goals and safely work in the real world. We train our own foundation models optimized for reasoning and prototype agents on top of these models. By using these agents extensively, we gain insights into improving both the capabilities of the underlying models and the interaction design for agents.

We aim to rekindle the dream of the  personal  computer, where computers become truly intelligent tools that empower us, giving us freedom, dignity, and agency to pursue the things we love.
