  • Have strong problem-solving skills and ability to work independently
  • Have a passion for supporting internal partners like research to understand their needs
  • Have excellent communication skills to build consensus with stakeholders
  • Possess deep knowledge of modern cloud infrastructure including Kubernetes, Infrastructure as Code, AWS, and GCP
  • Strong candidates may have

  • Security and privacy best-practice expertise
  • Experience with ML infrastructure (GPUs, TPUs, Trainium) and supporting networking infrastructure like NCCL
  • Low-level systems experience (e.g., Linux kernel tuning, eBPF)
  • Technical ability to quickly understand systems design tradeoffs in evolving software
  • This is a pipeline hiring posting across the infrastructure org. Team-specific postings are also available on our career site.
  • Deadline to apply : None. Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis.

    The expected base compensation for this position is below. Our total compensation package includes equity, benefits, and may include incentive compensation.

    $405,000 - $485,000 USD

    Logistics

    Education requirements : At least a Bachelor's degree in a related field or equivalent experience.

    Location-based hybrid policy : Staff are expected to be in one of our offices at least 25% of the time; some roles may require more time in offices.

    Visa sponsorship : We sponsor visas where possible and will make reasonable efforts to assist with visa processes if an offer is made.

    We encourage you to apply even if you do not meet every qualification. We value diverse perspectives and believe AI work benefits from a range of experiences.

    How we’re different

    We pursue high-impact AI research as a cohesive team, value communication, and aim to advance steerable, trustworthy AI. We emphasize collaboration and seek candidates who communicate effectively across teams.
