  • 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.
