Responsibilities

  • Own and extend the distributed runtime and serving stack for the DX-1 accelerator.
  • Define scalable inference architecture across tensor, pipeline, and data parallelism, including collective communication, KV-cache management, offload, and memory-aware scheduling.
  • Improve reliability through fault handling, graceful degradation, load balancing, recovery, observability, tracing, and diagnostic tooling.
  • Drive pre-silicon and bring-up activities through simulation, emulation, FPGA prototyping, analytical modeling, and root-cause analysis.
  • Set technical standards, solve cross-team systems problems, mentor senior talent, and shape platform strategy.

Requirements

  • Deep systems software experience with hands-on C/C++ and strong runtime, network, and accelerator fundamentals.
  • Demonstrated ownership of complex end-to-end systems problems, ideally involving production distributed inference or serving stacks.
  • Experience with distributed inference at cluster scale, including parallelism, collective communication, KV-cache and memory management, and distributed reliability.
  • Ability to integrate accelerators with PyTorch, JAX, and serving frameworks without treating framework layers as opaque.
  • Experience with whole-stack debugging, timeline tracing, workload replay, and architectural performance analysis.
  • Strong judgment regarding speed, cost, and quality trade-offs, plus calm management of emerging risks.
  • Excellent communication and cross-functional influence across hardware, compiler, and modeling teams.
  • Bachelor’s degree or higher in computer science, electrical engineering, mathematics, or a related field.
  • Preferred experience includes dataflow or non-GPU accelerators, ASIC or FPGA bring-up, production observability, HPC cluster design, high-speed networking, distributed systems, or heterogeneous compute platforms.

Benefits

  • Competitive salary commensurate with experience, skills, and location.
  • Meaningful stock options and employer-contributed retirement plans.
  • Annual Living-Local Bonus for residences within 20 minutes of the office.
