Description
Help Luma build some of the biggest & fastest AI supercomputing clusters in the world! As a High-Performance Computing engineer, you’ll work at the intersection of hardware and software, designing systems that deliver the maximum possible performance for running large-scale AI models. We work at the very cutting edge of speed and scale, combining the traditions of High-Performance Computing (HPC) in a modern cloud environment. 

For this role, it’s important you understand how to combine CPU’s, GPU’s, and network devices into systems that are then deployed at a large scale to peak efficiency. You understand the lowest levels of the software platforms that sit on top of this hardware, including how to best optimize the Linux kernel and user-space code. You are capable of writing code to automate the monitoring and healing of these systems, commanding a large number of servers with few people.

Responsibilities

  • In this role, you will work closely with and directly accelerate machine learning researchers, but don't need to be a machine learning expert yourself. 
  • We value people who can quickly obtain a deep technical understanding of new domains and enjoy being self-directed and identifying the most important problems to solve. 
  • You’ll be managing training HPC clusters at Luma from provisioning to performance tuning.
  • Areas of work will include observability, distributed job tracing, GPU diagnostics, software environment management and additional tooling plus work on the actual code to enable necessary features.
  • We believe that increasing compute is a huge lever to AI progress. You will have a direct impact on our ability to grow to an unprecedented scale and likewise produce unprecedented results.

Experience

  • 8+ years experience as infrastructure engineer or Devops in large and complex distributed systems.
  • Deep understanding of networking, bonus points for experience in HPC networking.
  • Experience developing high-quality software in a general-purpose programming language, preferably including Python.
  • Excellent problem-solving skills and attention to detail.
  • Experience with GPUs in large scale clusters is strongly preferred.
  • Strong knowledge of observability and monitoring in distributed systems.
  • Tenacious at troubleshooting hardware and network topology failures in distributed systemsIndependently driven and able to own problems and build solutions from end-to-end.
  • Experience with large scale data center operations, proficiency in cloud orchestration and system tools.
  • Please note this role is not meant for recent grads.

Compensation

  • In addition to cash base pay, you'll also receive a sizable grant of Luma's equity.
  • The pay range for this position is $180000- 220000/yr for Bay Area. Base pay offered will vary depending on job-related knowledge, skills, candidate location, and experience.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • We prioritize job seekers as our customers, unlike bigger job sites, by charging a small fee to provide them with curated access to the best companies and up-to-date jobs. This focus allows us to deliver a more personalized and effective job search experience.
  • 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.
