Description

At Groq. We believe in an AI economy powered by human agency. We envision a world where AI is accessible to all, a world that demands processing power that is better, faster, and more affordable than is available today. AI applications are currently constrained by the limitations of the Graphics Processing Unit (GPU), a technology originally developed for the gaming market and soon to become the weakest link in the AI economy.

Enter Groq's LPU™ Inference Engine. Specifically engineered for the demands of large language models (LLMs), the Language Processing Unit outpaces the GPU in speed, power, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness. The quickest way to understand the opportunity is to watch the following talk – groq.link/scspdemo.

Why join Groq? AI will change humanity forever, and we believe preservation of human agency and self determination is only possible if AI is made affordably and universally accessible. Groq’s LPUs will power AI from an early stage, and you will get to leave your fingerprint on civilization.

Infrastructure Software Engineer

About this role:

Groq's Software Infrastructure team maintains a wide array of services and tools cutting across all of Groq Software Engineering (assembler, compiler, systems/runtime, user libraries, and machine learning applications).  Our goal is to accelerate teams with reliable software that is pleasant to use.  We use a myriad of tools and techniques, leaning towards functional programming (FP) languages and paradigms where appropriate.  Constraints and invariants are important tools for us.

Responsibilities & opportunities in this role:

  • Maintain and improve Groq’s custom Nix-based build infrastructure
  • Develop and maintain management systems for long-lived jobs
  • Integrate various services, jobs, and builds with industry-standard tools as appropriate
  • Detect and resolve problems proactively with dashboards, metrics, and alerts
  • Improve CI and test infrastructure, from unit tests to hardware testing
  • Maintain and improve the company's cloud infrastructure
  • Improve developer experience with tools such as static analyzers, linters, documentation editing/generation tools

Qualifications for this role:

At minimum:

  • Strong programming skills covering multiple languages and paradigms, from statically type-checked functional programming to dynamic imperative "scripting"
  • Relevant experience supporting company infrastructure with quality software:
    • Polyglot build systems (we use Nix heavily)
    • Resource management
    • Configuration management (cloud and collocated)
    • Job control
    • Version management
    • Performance tuning
    • Logs, analytics, and visualization

Highly valued, not required:

  • Address infrastructure with correct, maintainable, and timely software
  • Assess and manage risk when employing progressive approaches
  • Have strong situational awareness of business needs
  • Communicate effectively for both active collaboration and solo work
  • Architect, plan, and document strategically to successfully drive longer-term initiatives
  • Build up the expertise of your peers as you continue building your own
  • Have empathy for everyone involved with your work, both internal and external to Groq
  • Below are some of the open source tools we currently build solutions upon.  We’re open to adapt, and we don’t expect you to know everything we use.
    • General purpose build systems: Nix, Make, CMake
    • Programming languages: Nix, Haskell, Python, C/C++
    • Software packaging and distribution: Deb, RPM, Docker
    • Continuous integration: GitLab
    • Metrics and visualization: Grafana
    • Configuration management: Salt
    • Cloud services: Google Cloud Platform
    • Container-based systems: Docker

Attributes of a Groqster:

  • Humility - Egos are checked at the door
  • Collaborative & Team Savvy - We make up the smartest person in the room, together
  • Growth & Giver Mindset - Learn it all versus know it all, we share knowledge generously
  • Curious & Innovative - Take a creative approach to projects, problems, and design
  • Passion, Grit, & Boldness - no limit thinking, fueling informed risk taking

If this sounds like you, we’d love to hear from you!

Compensation: The national pay range for our technical roles are $100,000-$500,000. The national pay range for our non-technical roles are $90,000-$470,000. Individual compensation will be commensurate with the candidate’s experience aligned with Groq’s internal leveling guidelines and benchmarks.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Salaries for the engineering jobs on our site range from $100K-$200K. On average, senior engineer positions on our EchoJobs are about $160K.
  • The EchoJobs positions have been sourced and vetted from the top companies to work for in the US as a software engineer, including LinkedIn and other reputable job sites. We also have syndicated jobs from companies that have just raised funding, as well as those that have great unique products and culture. From all of these sources, our founder, Morgan, has also resourced the company's authenticity in terms of their website, public appearance, and more.
  • Yes, our users asked us for just this, so now our search filters allow you to search for your top jobs via location, as well as by onsite, remote, or both. Approximately 30% of our jobs are remote, so you’ve got the best options for you!
  • We have not yet implemented this option, but are considering doing so in the future. For the moment, you would need to cancel your subscription, and resubscribe when you wanted to come back.
  • We add new jobs to EchoJobs every day! We scan our sources for the newest jobs, verify them, and post them to EchoJobs within minutes. We add about 2,000-3,000 new jobs for you each day!
  • From starting your job search to getting hired, the entire job search process can take us software engineers anywhere between 3-6 months. However, at EchoJobs, we’re striving to shorten this duration by finding the best, newest jobs for you, so you can do less job searching, and more applying.
  • We’d recommend checking EchoJobs daily, as we add new jobs to the site each day. Additionally, if you got a chance to read our previous email on “what makes EchoJobs different from any other job search tools,” we also recommended that you set a job alert based on your job filters, so if you get emails on those new jobs, you could be checking more than once per day.
  • If you decide to continue with us after the 1-month trial, we definitely recommend this, as we all know it usually takes 3-6 months to find a quality job as a software engineer these days. So to best support you, we just adjusted our membership options at EchoJobs to monthly, 3 months, or 12 months (this option is more for passive job seekers looking a little bit for the future if they want to come back to work or make a job switch potentially. This lets you see what’s out there in case an even better fit job becomes available.)
  • EchoJobs is truly the only job site of its kind. We want to be THE spot for you to find the best job for you, and haven’t encountered any other company doing this. Other job sites are in niches besides software engineering or focus on a small portion of engineering jobs (like a specific coding language). In the words of Morgan, our founder, “I think what makes EchoJobs different is the amount of jobs, frequency that we add new jobs (we add 2,000-3,000 new jobs daily!), and the powerful search engines to find exactly the job you want more easily and efficiently. We can provide you with the most jobs that are vetted by us, we’ll continually find more new jobs for you, and we make it easier for you to apply and get hired.
