, The Superintelligence Cloud, is a leader in AI cloud infrastructure serving tens of thousands of customers. Our customers range from AI researchers to enterprises and hyperscalers. 's mission is to make compute as ubiquitous as electricity and give everyone the power of superintelligence. One person, one GPU.
If you'd like to build the world's best AI cloud, join us.
*Note: This position requires presence in our San Francisco, San Jose, or Bellevue office location 4 days per week; ’s designated work-from-home day is currently Tuesday.
In the world of distributed AI training and inference, raw GPU and CPU horsepower is just a part of the story. High-performance networking and storage are the critical components that enable and unite these systems, making groundbreaking AI training and inference possible.
The Infrastructure Engineering organization forges the foundation of high-performance AI clusters by welding together the latest in AI storage, networking, GPU and CPU hardware.
Our expertise lies at the intersection of:
High-Performance Distributed Storage Solutions and Protocols: We engineer the protocols and systems that serve massive datasets at the speeds demanded by modern clustered GPUs.
Dynamic Networking: We design advanced networks that provide multi-tenant security and intelligent routing without compromising performance, using the latest in AI networking hardware.
Compute Clustering and Virtualization: We enable cutting-edge virtualization and clustering that allows AI researchers and engineers to focus on AI workloads, not AI infrastructure, unleashing the full compute bandwidth of clustered GPUs.
AI training and inference relies on petabytes of data hosted on large, high-performance storage arrays. At , the Infrastructure Storage Team’s job is to ensure that the data powering AI is fast, performant, and available across a variety of access protocols (fit for purpose).
We're looking for an experienced Senior Software Engineer to join our storage team. You'll join a team responsible for developing and implementing our next-generation storage software. This role requires expertise in distributed systems, and an in-depth understanding of file, block, and object storage protocols. You'll work on building scalable and resilient storage control plane that power our AI and machine learning infrastructure.
Design and build a vendor-agnostic control plane that provisions, scales, heals, and meters storage across the platforms our customers actually demand, VAST Data, WEKA, DDN, Pure, NetApp, Ceph, MinIO, and the ones that don't exist yet.
Define the internal abstraction layer that hides vendor-specific APIs, failure semantics, QoS knobs, and telemetry formats behind one declarative interface, so a new vendor integration is a driver, not a re-architecture.
Build reconciliation-loop and CRD-based orchestration (Kubernetes controllers, operators, custom schedulers) that manages capacity, tenancy, encryption domains, and placement across data centers and availability zones.
Own multi-tenant isolation end to end: namespace and subsystem partitioning, per-tenant QoS and rate limiting, credential and key lifecycle, blast-radius containment, noisy-neighbor detection.
Design the capacity and placement engine : PCIe-topology-aware, NUMA-aware, failure-domain-aware. On our platforms a drive behind the same PCIe switch as the GPU it serves beats a faster drive on a different root port, and the control plane needs to know that.
Instrument everything: SLI/SLO definitions, fleet-wide performance regression detection, and the observability pipeline that makes a petabyte fleet debuggable at 3 a.m.
Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science or a related field.
5+ years of experience in software development for storage systems.
Proven experience with distributed systems programming and concepts such as load balancers, data-durability, consensus algorithms, fault tolerance, and data consistency.
Strong programming skills in languages such as C, C++, Go, or Python.
Experience with Linux kernel internals and system-level programming.
Experience with one or more storage protocols (e.g. S3, NFS) and file systems such as Ceph, DAOS, or similar.
Familiarity with containerization technologies like Docker and Kubernetes and running production workloads in these environments.
Familiarity with CI/CD and QA practices for distributed systems development environments.
