Why Join ThisWay Global
At ThisWay Global, you’ll join a fast-moving, high-impact startup at the forefront of AI and high-performance computing (HPC). We operate at the intersection of innovation and scale, combining deep technical ambition with a commitment to practical, ethical AI.
Here, you won’t just write code—you’ll help define the architecture of intelligent infrastructure. You’ll pivot between solving complex engineering problems and planning how to scale systems that matter. Every day is different, and every contribution is meaningful.
We value adaptability, technical excellence, and collaboration. Join a team that’s bold, focused, and driving the real-world application of AI + HPC—where your experience can shape an industry.
Job Overview
As a Staff Software Engineer, you will help design, develop, and implement high-performance, scalable software solutions supporting advanced AI and HPC convergence workloads.
This is a role for someone who thrives in low-latency, parallel compute environments—who has lived through the challenges of distributed system scale, and knows how to balance performance, maintainability, and security. Your impact will extend beyond your individual contributions, enabling shared success through mentorship, collaboration, and clear technical direction.
Responsibilities
Develop advanced software systems with a focus on scalability, maintainability, and high performance.
Tackle complex technical challenges while fostering a culture of continuous improvement and technical rigor.
Collaborate with cross-functional teams to define and refine software requirements that support near-term needs and long-term scale.
Write clean, maintainable, efficient code that aligns with internal engineering standards and supports parallel or distributed execution.
Troubleshoot, debug, and optimize infrastructure to maintain data integrity, low-latency throughput, and platform security.
Track emerging technologies and trends in performance computing, bringing new tools and frameworks into our development lifecycle.
Lead by example in technical reviews, mentorship, and engineering quality standards.
10+ years of experience in software development, including large-scale distributed or parallel systems.
Strong proficiency in Rust or demonstrated success with comparable system-level languages in high-performance contexts.
Familiarity with parallel programming technologies (e.g., OpenMP, Unified Parallel C, OpenMPI, CUDA).
Proven ability to solve complex infrastructure problems while mentoring junior engineers and contributing to team learning and cohesion.
Deep problem-solving and debugging capabilities; experienced in performance optimization, secure development, and R&D-centric settings.
Excellent communication skills, with the ability to translate complex technical decisions across team boundaries.
Comfortable working independently in a remote, high-speed environment.
Preferred but Not Required
Experience in HPC or HTC environments, particularly those with strict performance, uptime, or security requirements.
Understanding of secure software development practices, including ISO-compliant environments (e.g., ISO 27001) and NIST frameworks (SP 800-171, 800-223), or exposure to Confidential Computing.
Passion for systems innovation and long-term technical planning.
Join a dynamic startup where your technical decisions directly impact outcomes.
Competitive compensation with room for growth and ownership.
Collaborative, performance-driven culture focused on creative engineering.
Health benefits and 401K plan.
Unlimited PTO (with management approval).
Fully Remote – U.S. Only (some travel for key meetings required).
