Senior Software Engineer, AI Infrastructure

You are motivated by the idea that world-class infrastructure should be a catalyst for public good, not a proprietary secret.

You are as comfortable designing a resource allocation algorithm in Go as you are debugging a NCCL timeout.

Not only do you build systems, but you also ensure they thrive under the pressure of training world-class AI models.

of professional experience developing business-critical software and operating large-scale compute infrastructure.

Proficiency in Go and/or Python preferred.

Expert-level knowledge of Linux internals, and container runtimes like Docker.

Team members and their families are covered by medical, dental, vision, and an employee assistance program.

Team members are able to enroll in our health savings account plan, our healthcare reimbursement arrangement plan, and our health care and dependent care flexible spending account plans.

Full-Stack Ownership:

Independently design and deliver critical systems that span the entire stack—from the Beaker job scheduler to the execution runtime.

Build innovative tooling and software-defined infrastructure to accelerate researcher velocity and automate cluster health management.

Conduct root-cause analysis on complex distributed system failures and implement optimizations for distributed workloads.

Technical Input & Ownership:

Provide valuable input into the roadmap for managing large-scale HPC systems, including the deployment of compute, networking, and storage in partnership with leadership.

While much of the AI industry has moved behind closed APIs, proprietary datasets, and "black box" infrastructure, Ai2 remains a lighthouse for Open Science. Founded by the late Paul Allen, we are a non-profit research institute dedicated to building AI for the common good.

We don't have a stock price to defend or a walled garden to protect. Instead, we have a mission: to provide the global research community with the transparent, high-performance foundations they need to achieve humanity-enriching breakthroughs.

What Makes Us Different:

Radical Transparency:

We don't just release model weights; we release the data, the training code, and the infrastructure insights. We believe the "how" is just as important as the "what."

Mission over Margin:
