Your Client

Our client is at the forefront of revolutionizing AI computing by re-engineering infrastructure at the system level. Its architecture, combined with sophisticated software intelligence, abstraction, and an orchestration layer, enables developers to leverage a diverse array of compute resources, achieving efficient and reliable computing at a fraction of the cost. Founded by industry veterans from Nvidia, Apple, Tesla, Intel, and Zoox, it's shaping the future of AI.

As the Lead/Staff AI Runtime Engineer, you'll play a pivotal role in the design, development, and optimization of the core runtime infrastructure powering distributed training and deployment of large AI models. This is a hands-on leadership role - ideal for a systems-minded software engineer who thrives at the intersection of AI workloads, runtimes, and performance-critical infrastructure.

Your Role

• Own the core runtime architecture supporting AI training and inference at scale.
• Design resilient and elastic runtime features (for example, dynamic node scaling and job recovery) within the custom PyTorch-based stack.
• Optimize distributed training reliability, orchestration, and job-level fault tolerance.
• Profile and enhance low-level system performance across training and inference pipelines.
• Improve packaging, deployment, and integration of customer models in production environments.
• Design and maintain libraries and services that support the full model lifecycle: training, checkpointing, fault recovery, packaging, and deployment.
• Implement observability hooks, diagnostics, and resilience mechanisms for deep-learning workloads.
• Champion best practices in CI/CD, testing, and software quality across the AI Runtime stack.
• Work cross-functionally with Research, Infrastructure, and Product teams to align runtime development with customer and platform needs.
• Guide technical discussions, mentor junior engineers, and help scale the AI Runtime team's capabilities.

Your Profile

• PyTorch, TensorFlow, JAX (Advanced)
• Python, C++ (Go/Rust optional)
• Distributed training frameworks
• Multi-GPU, multi-node optimization
• Container orchestration (Kubernetes, Docker)
• CI/CD, fault recovery, job scheduling
• TorchElastic, Ray, custom orchestrators
• Runtime architecture and systems performance tuning

Nice to Have

• Contributions to PyTorch internals or open-source deep learning infrastructure projects.
• Intel OpenVINO
• Familiarity with LLM training pipelines, checkpointing, or elastic training orchestration.
• Experience with Kubernetes, Ray, TorchElastic, or custom AI job orchestrators.
• Background in systems research, compilers, or runtime architecture for high-performance computing (HPC) or machine learning.
• Start-up experience.
• Ability to travel to the EU.

What You Will Love About Working Here

• We care about all our employees and want them to feel as comfortable as possible. That's why we offer them health insurance from the first days, regardless of the probationary period.
