About the role

  • Performance Engineer developing foundational technology for an AI startup focused on deployment of LLMs in production. Combines high-performance software engineering with scalable infrastructure responsibilities.

Responsibilities

  • Build the foundational technology powering Adaptive ML, with a relentless focus on high-performance software engineering;
  • Write production-grade Rust, combining correctness, performance, and robustness across large-scale distributed systems;
  • Identify and resolve complex bugs at the intersection of software and hardware correctness in distributed environments;
  • Contribute to the product roadmap by identifying promising trends and surfacing high-impact technical findings;
  • Engage with research developments in generative AI and reinforcement learning to inform engineering decisions;
  • Report clearly on your work to a distributed, collaborative team with a strong bias for asynchronous written communication;
  • Partner with teammates across engineering, research, and product to deliver robust, scalable solutions.

Requirements

  • A M.Sc. or Ph.D. in Computer Science, or equivalent demonstrated experience in software engineering, preferably with a focus on machine learning;
  • Strong Rust skills, or a clear inclination to develop them — especially in distributed systems where performance is key;
  • Contributions to relevant open-source projects, such as efficient model implementations or reinforcement learning libraries;
  • Passionate about the future of generative AI, and eager to build foundational technology that helps machines deliver more singular experiences.

Benefits

  • Comprehensive medical insurance covering health, dental, and vision;
  • 401(k) plan with 4% matching (or equivalent);
  • Unlimited PTO — we strongly encourage at least 5 weeks each year;
  • Mental health, wellness, and personal development stipend.
