Member of Engineering (Infrastructure)

In this decade, the world will create Artificial General Intelligence. There will only be a small number of companies who will achieve this. Their ability to stack advantages and pull ahead will define the winners. These companies will move faster than anyone else. They will attract the world's most capable talent. They will be on the forefront of applied research, engineering, infrastructure and deployment at scale. They will continue to scale their training to larger & more capable models. They will be given the right to raise large amounts of capital along their journey to enable this. They will create powerful economic engines. They will obsess over the success of their users and customers.

poolside exists to be this company - to build a world where AI will be the engine behind economically valuable work and scientific progress.

We are a remote-first team that sits across Europe and North America and comes together once a month in-person for 3 days and for longer offsites twice a year.

Our R&D and production teams are a combination of more research and more engineering-oriented profiles, however, everyone deeply cares about the quality of the systems we build and has a strong underlying knowledge of software development. We believe that good engineering leads to faster development iterations, which allows us to compound our efforts.

Design and implement the infrastructure and tooling used by poolside researchers and engineers.

The infrastructure team has 2 main missions: Make it seamless for our researchers and engineers to access the infrastructure they need, when they need it and ensure the underlying infrastructure for our cloud offering is robust, reliable, and scalable. As a team we also handle incident response and security, maintaining trust and stability for our customers and users.

As part of the infrastructure team you are in a unique position to have an impact on all areas of poolside: from the building of our foundational models (from training to fine-tuning), all the way to our cloud offering.

You will be responsible for designing and managing the infrastructure required by poolside's engineers and researchers. Leveraging automation to multiply your impact is essential for this role. Additionally, you will develop tools and solutions aimed at increasing the efficiency of our engineering teams.
