About this role

Your mission

Work with our team on designing and building a GPU platform for 10,000+ users. You'll tackle problems across cold-start times, performance, scalability, robustness, and security - at a scale where naive approaches break and every design decision matters.

  • Performance and reliability: Profile, benchmark, and optimise critical paths. Investigate and fix issues in production.

Your KPIs

  • Code shipped and components owned

  • Time-to-resolution on assigned issues

  • Ramp speed and expanding scope of ownership over time

Nice to have

  • Contributions to open-source infrastructure projects

  • Experience with Kubernetes, container runtimes, or GPU tooling

  • Familiarity with networking, storage, or virtualisation at a systems level

Why us?

  • Outstanding team: Work with some of the best engineers in the world, coming from hedge funds, big tech, AI startups and top universities
