Responsibilities

  • Design and build runtime components for complex AI, simulation, and engineering workloads.
  • Define workload, execution-environment, dependency, state, capability, failure, API, schema, and compatibility contracts across independently evolving systems.
  • Build production runtime and control-plane software, adapters, integrations, conformance mechanisms, and validation systems for heterogeneous execution environments.
  • Improve the reliability, observability, debuggability, and performance of distributed workload execution across large-scale GPU infrastructure.
  • Design repeatable workload and benchmark environments and run experiments that distinguish real performance gains from scheduling behavior, warm-up effects, noise, and stragglers.
  • Lead ambiguous systems problems, influence technical direction across teams, mentor engineers, and contribute to technical hiring and engineering standards.

Requirements

  • Significant experience building complex systems software, distributed infrastructure, runtimes, workflow systems, or adjacent technology.
  • Deep expertise in at least one of distributed systems, runtime systems, workflow or execution engines, programming languages/compilers/interpreters, cluster scheduling/orchestration, or high-performance and systems software.
  • Strong software engineering fundamentals and production coding ability.
  • Experience designing APIs, protocols, schemas, or contracts between independently evolving systems.
  • Strong understanding of distributed-system failure modes, state, authority, retries, concurrency, and side effects.
  • Strong technical judgment regarding abstraction, system boundaries, and operational complexity.
  • Experience communicating and influencing architectural decisions across teams.
  • Valuable additional experience includes Go, Rust, C/C++, Python, Kubernetes, containerized infrastructure, Argo, OSMO, Temporal, Ray, Kubeflow, GPU clusters, high-performance computing, simulation, robotics, autonomous systems, programming-language or compiler research, performance engineering, cloud infrastructure at scale, or platforms operated by autonomous software or AI agents.

Benefits

  • Base salary range is £116,000 to £155,000, with discretionary bonus, equity awards, and comprehensive benefits based on eligibility.
  • US-based full-time employee offerings include fully paid medical, dental, and vision insurance, life insurance, disability insurance, FSA, HSA, tuition reimbursement, ESPP participation, mental wellness benefits, family-forming support, paid parental leave, childcare support, and a 401(k) with employer match.
