Staff Software Engineer

The role

You will build Conductor, a self-driving control plane, to manage tens of thousands of accelerators. You will design and operate greenfield distributed services and closed-loop remediation systems to optimize power, cost, and compute.

What you will do

• Design, build, and operate greenfield distributed services, control planes, and closed-loop remediation systems.
• Partner with staff and principal engineers to review architectures and establish safety rails.
• Collaborate daily with hardware engineering, energy management, data center construction, and customer support.
• Develop core platform features like unified observability pipelines and energy-aware compute scheduling.
• Develop straggler detection and self-qualifying hardware pipelines.

Required qualifications

• Minimum of 2+ years of experience building, shipping, and operating backend or infrastructure systems in production.
• Mastery of state reconciliation, retries and idempotency, consistency tradeoffs, and autonomous automation on live infrastructure.
• Strong engineering fundamentals using a modern systems language such as Go, Rust, or C++.
• High comfort level working through ambiguous problem statements, proposing clear designs, and driving features from concept to production.
• A strong bias toward action and iterative delivery.
• Bachelor's degree or equivalent practical experience in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical discipline.

Nice to have

• Hands-on experience or deep familiarity with GPU health telemetry, NVLink/InfiniBand/RoCE networking fabrics, or hardware thermal and power behavior.
• Prior experience designing scalable observability and telemetry pipelines that span compute, storage, and networking layers.
• Familiarity or direct exposure to Kubernetes internals, Slurm, or other distributed orchestrator ecosystems.
• Experience applying statistical methods, anomaly detection, or time-series forecasting to noisy operational data for predictive maintenance.
• Knowledge of zero-trust architectures, policy-based access systems, or automated multi-tenant audit streaming.

Benefits

• Pension contributions
• Private health and dental insurance
• Income protection
• Life assurance
