The Frontiers Infrastructure team builds the low level framework components to power our ML training systems. We work on building robust, debuggable, high performance libraries to support our distributed training workloads. Our priorities are to maximize the productivity of our researchers and our hardware, with the goal of accelerating progress towards AGI.
About the Role
As an Infrastructure Engineer, you will work to deliver powerful APIs orchestrating thousands of computers moving/persisting vast amounts of data. This requires both providing easy to use, introspectible systems that can promote a fast debugging/development cycle, while also enabling that experience to scale to our newest supercomputers maintaining stability and performance throughout. We’re looking for people who love working with an end to end system distributed across our supercomputers. We want someone excited by the rapid pace of responding to the dynamic and evolving needs of our training systems architectures.
This role is based in San Francisco, CA.
We use a hybrid work model of 3 days in the office per week and offer relocation assistance to new employees.
In this role, you will:
Work across our Python stack
Profile and optimize and help design for scale our compute and data capabilities
Build and maintain tools used by researchers
Work on deploying our training framework to our latest supercomputers rapidly responding to the changing shapes and needs of the ML systems
You might thrive in this role if you:
Have worked on large distributed systems
Love figuring out how systems work and continuously come up with ideas for how to make them faster while minimizing complexity and maintenance burden
Like accelerating research
Have strong software engineering skills and are proficient in Python
