Summary
The job at Imbue is for a software engineer to enable and support large-scale compute efforts and software infrastructure for research. The role involves prototyping and developing infrastructure, creating tools for common workflows, integrating with new cloud providers, consolidating logging efforts, improving security policies, automating provisioning of new physical servers, etc.
Requirements
- A good software engineer. We are strong adherents of 'infrastructure as code', so you will be writing (and reading) lots of Python, bash, etc
- Passionate about enabling other engineers and creating good tooling for developers to interact with infrastructure in an automated way
- Experienced enough with dev ops to be properly opinionated. You should understand the trade-offs of various approaches and technologies, and not be dogmatically tied to a single tool
- Careful and detail oriented. We do science and care deeply about the correctness of the results. Our infrastructure reflects this--we highly value robustness and ensuring that systems run reliably and correctly
Responsibilities
- Prototype and develop infrastructure for increasingly large-scale models
- Create tools and scripts for common research workflows (ex: changing the priority of a currently running job)
- Integrating with new cloud providers and enabling us to run experiments seamlessly across different clouds and physical infrastructure
- Consolidate our logging efforts
- Improve security policies and procedures
- Automate provisioning of new physical servers, NFS, etc
Benefits
- Work directly on creating software with human-like intelligence
- Generous compensation, equity, and benefits
- $20K+ yearly budget for self-improvement: coaching, courses, conferences, etc
- Actively co-create and participate in a positive, intentional team culture
- Spend time learning, reading papers, and deeply understanding prior work
- Frequent team events, dinners, off-sites, and hanging out
- Compensation packages are highly variable based on a variety of factors. If your salary requirements fall outside of the stated range, we still encourage you to apply. The range for this role is $170,000–$350,000 cash, $10,000–$2,000,000 in equity
