  • Engage in end-to-end system enablement, progressing from prototype bring-up to large-scale AI datacenter deployments.
  • Help shape our startup culture-take ownership, challenge existing paradigms, and contribute directly to the future of our tech stack.

Qualifications:

  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Electrical Engineering or a related field
  • Proficiency in Python, C
  • Solid understanding of systems software, including embedded systems and distributed systems
  • Familiarity with schematics/component datasheets
