From Thinking Machines Lab's posting. “We” and “our” refer to the employer.
The mission of Thinking Machines is to build AI that extends human will and judgment. We are training frontier models with Inkling, developing Tinker to let people make models their own, and crafting interfaces that broaden human-AI communication. We believe the future worth building is human, and we're hiring people who want to build it.
We’re looking for an infrastructure research engineer to design and build the core systems that enable efficient large-scale model training with a focus on numerics. You will focus on improving the numerical foundations of our distributed training stack, from precision formats and kernel optimizations to communication frameworks that make training trillion-parameter models stable, scalable, and fast.
This role is ideal for someone who thrives at the intersection of research and systems engineering: a builder who understands both the math of optimization and the realities of distributed compute.
Note: This is an "evergreen role" that we keep open on an on-going basis to express interest. We receive many applications, and there may not always be an immediate role that aligns perfectly with your experience and skills. Still, we encourage you to apply. We continuously review applications and reach out to applicants as new opportunities open. You are welcome to reapply if you get more experience, but please avoid applying more than once every 6 months.
You may also find that we put up postings for singular roles for separate, project or team specific needs. In those cases, you're welcome to apply directly in addition to an evergreen role.
Location: This role is based in San Francisco, California.
Compensation: Depending on background, skills and experience, the expected annual salary range for this position is $350,000 - $475,000 USD.
Visa sponsorship: We sponsor visas. While we can't guarantee success for every candidate or role, if you're the right fit, we're committed to working through the visa process together.
Benefits: Thinking Machines offers generous health, dental, and vision benefits, unlimited PTO, paid parental leave, and relocation support as needed.
