You will define and architect infrastructure for large-scale model training and complex simulations. You will optimize neuroscience-informed reinforcement learning environments, set engineering standards, scale research prototypes into production systems, and resolve systemic technical bottlenecks.
Responsibilities
- Define and architect high-performance infrastructure for large-scale model training and complex simulations
- Design and optimize custom reinforcement learning environments informed by neuroscience
- Set standards for clean, fast, production-grade code
- Turn research prototypes into scalable production systems
- Resolve systemic technical bottlenecks across optimization and technical strategy
Requirements
- Set standards for clean, maintainable, well-tested code
- Architect complex systems from scratch
- Understand long-term system-design trade-offs
- Master complex domains quickly and guide others through them
- Lead resolution of difficult distributed-systems and kernel-level optimization challenges
