# Machine Learning Engineer - New Grad

SambaNova is a leader in next-generation AI infrastructure, delivering a full-stack inference platform for customers worldwide. At the core of SambaNova's technology is the RDU (Reconfigurable Dataflow Unit) - a chip built on a dataflow architecture rather than the traditional GPU model. Its decode performance is especially strong for agentic workloads like multi-turn agents, code generation, and long-running applications. RDUs are packaged into SambaRack, rack-scale hardware that lets customers deploy state-of-the-art models with better performance, greater energy efficiency, and faster time to value. About the Team The Machine Learning team builds the model-side techniques that make SambaNova’s platform fast and capable. We train speculative decoding models that accelerate inference, develop efficient ML methods such as quantization, sparsity, and distillation, and build agentic systems on top of our foundation model serving stack. Our work spans research, applied science, and production, from novel approach design to proofs of concept and shipping to product. Reinforcement learning and post-training are within our scope and a growing part of our roadmap. About the Role As a new
