Platform Engineer
Ineffable
<p style="min-height:1.5em">We are recruiting a Platform Engineer to join us in our London office.</p><p style="min-height:1.5em"><br /></p><p style="min-height:1.5em">Our mission is to <strong>make first contact with superintelligence.</strong></p><p style="min-height:1.5em">We are creating a superlearner that discovers all knowledge from its own experience, from elementary motor skills through to profound intellectual breakthroughs. This superlearning capability - the ability to endlessly discover knowledge and skills, without relying on human data - will be driven by the world’s most powerful reinforcement learning algorithms.</p><p style="min-height:1.5em">The superlearner is expected to rediscover and then transcend the greatest inventions in human history, such as language, science, mathematics and technology. If successful, this will represent a scientific breakthrough of comparable magnitude to Darwin: where his law explained all life, our law will explain and build all intelligence.<br /><br /><strong>Role brief</strong><br /><br />As a foundational hire on the platform team, you'll be joining at a point where individual decisions shape how the platform is designed, not just maintained. This isn't a role where you inherit someone else's architecture, you'll be one of the people defining it.</p><p style="min-height:1.5em">We're pushing these learning methods to a scale that hasn’t been tried before and we care deeply about the infrastructure that gets us there. You'll own the infrastructure that the mission depends on; keeping large-scale GPU compute reliable, developer environments fast and the whole platform humming.</p><p style="min-height:1.5em">This is an opportunity for someone who wants to be a part of defining a new paradigm in AI and wants their work to directly speed up the experimentation and progress of our ambitious research.</p><p style="min-height:1.5em">This is a broad role, and the list below is non-exhaustive. You’ll be empowered to shape the role how you’d like in order to best enable our mission.</p><ul style="min-height:1.5em"><li><p style="min-height:1.5em"><strong>Kubernetes and containers: </strong>manage clusters and deploy internal tools</p></li><li><p style="min-height:1.5em"><strong>GPU scheduling at scale</strong>: hands-on with tools like KAI scheduler and Kueue to keep thousands of GPUs busy and productive</p></li><li><p style="min-height:1.5em"><strong>Making large-scale infrastructure resilient: </strong>get to the root of hardware failures and cluster-scale chaos, building the systems that prevent them from recurring</p></li><li><p style="min-height:1.5em"><strong>Cloud infrastructure:</strong> experience on Google Cloud and other major providers</p></li><li><p style="min-height:1.5em"><strong>Observability that actually helps:</strong> log management and monitoring with tools like QuickWit, Grafana or Datadog</p></li><li><p style="min-height:1.5em"><strong>Developer environments people love:</strong> tooling like Tailscale, Workbrew and dev containers that make everyone's day-to-day faster</p></li><li><p style="min-height:1.5em"><strong>Clean, well-crafted code:</strong> e.g. Python and Rust for tools and infrastructure that are a joy to build on</p></li></ul><p style="min-height:1.5em">We move fast, give people real ownership and trust engineers to make good judgment calls. We are a team that cares as much about doing this well as doing it fast.</p><p style="min-height:1.5em"></p><p style="min-height:1.5em">If you're interested in joining Ineffable and think your skills would be better suited to a different position please express your interest to the Member of Technical Staff (Research / Engineering) position. <br /><br /></p><p>Find more <a href="https://www.arbeitnow.co.uk/english-speaking-jobs">English Speaking Jobs in United Kingdom</a> on Arbeitnow</a>
