Location: San Jose
Workplace: Onsite
Employment Type: Full time
Job Function: Software Engineering

Key Responsibilities

  • •Architect and Scale Distributed Compute Systems: Design and build the orchestration layers that drive our hybrid high-performance clusters—enabling simulation, synthesis, and continuous integration of AI ASICs at unprecedented scale.
  • •Build Infrastructure-as-Code Systems: Develop and maintain a fully programmable infrastructure control plane to ensure reproducibility, auditability, and rapid iteration across the entire stack.
  • •Optimize End-to-End Developer Experience: Create tools and abstractions that empower engineers to harness massive parallelism without worrying about the underlying complexity.
  • •Workload Elasticity, Reliability, and Efficiency: Prototype and execute workload orchestration and migration strategies between on-premise and cloud environments, balancing performance, storage availability and replication, uptime, and cost across heterogeneous hardware and compute backends.
  • •Implement real-time telemetry, tracing systems that surface insights from millions of metrics, enabling proactive debugging and system optimization.
