We are training frontier models with Inkling, developing Tinker to let people make models their own, and crafting interfaces that broaden human-AI communication. We believe the future worth building is human, and we're hiring people who want to build it. ABOUT THE ROLE We're hiring a Software Engineer, Infrastructure to design and build the distributed systems that power our model training and serving platforms. You'll work on the systems underlying everything we do — from the clusters that train our frontier models with Inkling, to the multi-tenant serving infrastructure behind Tinker. This is a foundational infrastructure role at a fast-moving startup. You'll have real ownership over systems that run at large scale, and your work will directly determine how quickly our research and product teams can iterate. WHAT YOU'LL DO - Design, build, and operate distributed systems that support large-scale model training and inference across thousands of accelerators - Build and maintain core infrastructure, including orchestration, scheduling, storage, and resource management systems - Improve the reliability, performance, and observability of infrastructure used across research and product teams - Partner with researchers and platform engineers to understand infrastructure needs and turn them into robust, well-abstracted systems - Debug and resolve complex distributed failures across the stack, from networking and storage to compute and scheduling - More Thinking Machines roles: https://deviantjobs.com/companies/thinking-machines
