Job Description
About xAI

xAI's mission is to create AI systems that can accurately understand the universe and aid humanity in its pursuit of knowledge. Our team is small, highly motivated, and focused on engineering excellence. This organization is for individuals who appreciate challenging themselves and thrive on curiosity. We operate with a flat organizational structure. All employees are expected to be hands-on and to contribute directly to the company's mission. Leadership is given to those who show initiative and consistently deliver excellence. Work ethic and strong prioritization skills are important. All employees are expected to have strong communication skills. They should be able to concisely and accurately share knowledge with their teammates.

About the Role

xAI was first in the world to build a 100k GPU cluster on an ethernet network and then did it again in 92 days, floors, walls and all. We need an engineer with deep experience in RoCEv2 that can develop at hyper scale while optimizing performance and availability.

xAI is building at a furious pace with the latest hardware to help people understand the universe. To make the next significant leap forward, we need to own our own destiny by understanding our current network performance and availability and then optimize it to our training models and how we execute customer inference queries. You will spend most of your days deep inside NCCL, building metric dashboards and tweaking configurations to ensure no performance is left on the table. You will help design the next iteration of our backend and front-end networks that will allow us to seamlessly build-out new GPU infrastructure with little to no engineering assistance.

There will be a significant amount of travel to Memphis for building more capacity as well as participating in a team on-call rotation and helping on other scaling and maintenance efforts. This will become easier as we build out the team and engineers contribute to deployment and operations frameworks to remove repetitive tasks.

Location

We have 2 openings, one based in Palo Alto, California and the other in Dublin, Ireland. There will be significant travel expected to Memphis, Tennessee for data center buildouts and to the head office in Palo Alto for team collaboration.

Required Qualifications
  • A minimum of 10 years designing and operating large scale networks with 5 years in the ethernet AI/HPC space.
  • Deep understanding of congestion control on ethernet with Infiniband an added bonus.
  • Deep understanding of AI training and inference workloads and how they operate on the network. As part of this you are able to use and debug NCCL and potentially commit to the library.
  • Expertise in creating a portfolio of metrics for performance and operations to optimize the fleet for training and inference traffic.
  • Experience with Python to automate away repetitive tasks and facilitate your daily job working with and analyzing large sets of data.
Interview Process

After submitting your application, the team reviews your CV and statement of exceptional work. If your application passes this stage, you will be invited to an initial interview (45 minutes - 1 hour) during which a member of our team will ask some basic questions. If you clear the initial phone interview, you will enter the main process, which consists of five interviews:

  1. Coding assessment in a language of your choice.
  2. Data center network technologies and RoCEv2.
  3. Manager Interview.
  4. Meet and greet with the wider team where you will run through a presentation of a body of work you are proud of.
Benefits

Base salary is just one part of our total rewards package at xAI, which also includes equity, comprehensive medical, vision, and dental coverage, access to a 401(k) retirement plan, short & long-term disability insurance, life insurance, and various other discounts and perks.

xAI is an equal opportunity employer. For details on data processing, view our Recruitment Privacy Notice.
