ABOUT THINKING MACHINES The mission of Thinking Machines is to build AI that extends human will and judgment. We are training frontier models with Inkling, developing Tinker to let people make models their own, and crafting interfaces that broaden human-AI communication. We believe the future worth building is human, and we're hiring people who want to build it. ABOUT THE ROLE Compute allocation is a technical judgment problem. Research teams have different goals, workloads have different requirements, and available resources rarely match every need at once. Progress depends on understanding those constraints and finding ways to accomplish more within them. In this role, you’ll own compute allocation and help us make better use of our supercomputing resources. You’ll work closely with researchers and infrastructure engineers to understand demand, evaluate competing needs, and translate research priorities into practical allocation decisions. You’ll investigate where constraints limit progress and help teams find workable alternatives. Teaching is central to this work. You’ll help researchers plan their compute needs, understand allocation decisions, and reason through tradeoffs themselves. By working through real workloads, explaining your decisions, and developing useful tools and guidance, you’ll make specialized knowledge available to more of the team. This role is a good fit if you enjoy working deeply with technical constraints, making decisions under uncertainty, and helping others develop their judgment. WHAT YOU’LL DO - Own compute allocation. Understand current and upcoming demand, develop allocation plans with technical leads, and carry decisions through to execution. - Optimize within constraints. Work through tradeoffs across capacity, hardware suitability, workload size, timing, and dependencies. Help teams adapt their plans as requirements and resources change. - Improve productive use of compute. Partner with researchers and engineers to investigate the gap between allocated resources and useful work. Identify opportunities to improve scheduling, workload placement, and utilization. - Teach teams to plan and use compute well. Help researchers estimate their needs, understand available options, and recognize the consequences of different choices. Build practical understanding through real workloads and decisions. - Make your reasoning transferable. Explain assumptions and tradeoffs clearly. Develop examples, guidance, and tools that enable others to handle recurring decisions and recognize when they need help. - Connect research and infrastructure. Keep research plans grounded in usable capacity and make future needs visible to supercomputing and infrastructure teams. - Learn from outcomes. Compare expected and actual usage, revisit assumptions, and improve allocation decisions as workloads, systems, and priorities change. SKILLS AND QUALIFICATIONS Minimum qualifications: - Experience making consequential resource allocation or capacity decisions in a complex computing environment, with clear ownership of the tradeoffs and outcomes. - Strong technical understanding of distributed systems, machine learning infrastructure, or high-performance computing. You can reason about how workload requirements interact with system constraints. - Demonstrated ability to improve useful output from limited resources. You can explain what constrained the work, which alternatives you considered, and why your approach helped. - Ability to teach complex technical ideas through clear explanations and practical examples. You have helped others become more capable and independent. - Comfort investigating usage and performance data directly, questioning assumptions, and changing your view when the evidence warrants it. - Sound judgment when teams have competing priorities. You earn trust, explain difficult decisions, and work constructively through disagreement. - A hands-on, collaborative approach with strong attention to detail and follow-through. Preferred qualifications: - Experience owning compute allocation at an AI research lab or another organization with substantial shared computing resources. - Familiarity with GPU clusters, distributed training, scheduling, and workload placement. - Understanding of how networking, storage, reliability, and hardware differences affect usable capacity. - Experience building tools or analyses for capacity forecasting, allocation, or utilization. - Experience mentoring researchers, engineers, or technical program managers in compute planning and resource management. We encourage you to apply even if you don’t meet every preferred qualification. LOGISTICS - Location: San Francisco, California. - Compensation: $350,000 - $475,000 USD annually. - Visa sponsorship: We support visa sponsorship and work with candidates through the process. - Benefits: Health, dental, and vision coverage; unlimited PTO; paid parental leave; and relocation support as needed.

We are training frontier models with Inkling, developing Tinker to let people make models their own, and crafting interfaces that broaden human-AI communication. We believe the future worth building is human, and we're hiring people who want to build it. ABOUT THE ROLE As a Model Designer, you’ll shape how our models behave and feel, and how people experience working with them. Working alongside the researchers building these models, you might design: how a model reads intent, when it acts on its own, when it asks, and whether the person comes away sharper than they started. You’ll hold several things in tension: pushing what our models can do, anticipating what someone is reaching for before they’ve fully said it, and keeping the person’s judgment at the center of the work. We’re looking for creative generalists who care deeply about design, technology, and the humans on the other side of each turn. WHAT YOU’LL DO - Work closely with researchers to understand, predict, and shape model behavior, translating design judgment into training data, evaluations, and lasting changes in the models themselves. - Design how our models collaborate: when to take initiative, when to invite oversight or feedback, and how to earn the trust to act on someone’s behalf over time. - Build strong, thoughtful defaults that people can reshape around their own knowledge, preferences, and values. - Partner with research, product, design, and engineering from the earliest questions and prototypes to develop interfaces that widen the channel between people and models, including live and multimodal interaction. - Find creative ways to collect high-quality data, especially the tacit, hard-to-articulate knowledge people build through doing real work. - Help define what good looks like, with evaluations that capture what people and models accomplish together. - Identify and pursue improvements based on product sense, user feedback, quantitative insight, and the research roadmap. - Move comfortably across disciplines and projects, staying close to the work from the first idea through the details of shipping. SKILLS AND QUALIFICATIONS Minimum qualifications: - Clear communication, including the ability to explain complex technical concepts in writing. - Demonstrated ability to understand users whose needs and contexts differ from your own, through work across varied populations, domains, or cultures. - Several years of experience in a role focused on how people interact with technology, such as product design, UX research, content or conversation design, or model behavior work at an AI lab. Preferred qualifications: We encourage you to apply if you bring some of the following; we don’t expect anyone to bring all of them. - Experience designing model behavior or personality, or influencing technical roadmaps in domains where quality depends on judgment and there is no single right answer. - Experience shaping how models approach research, exercise judgment, express uncertainty, or reflect a coherent set of values. - Hands-on experience with large language models, including writing and iterating on prompts, evaluating outputs, and building an intuition for why a model behaves the way it does. - A portfolio or writing samples that show exceptional taste, craft, and clarity, ideally including work that shaped how a product or system communicates with people. - A track record of taking ambiguous problems from framing to shipped results, working across research, product, and engineering. - Experience designing and running experiments—qualitative studies, A/B tests, or model evaluations—and making decisions based on the results, including dropping ideas the evidence didn’t support. - Comfort with quantitative analysis: you can read evaluation results, find patterns in data, and explain findings to both technical and non-technical audiences. - A clear point of view on how AI should support human judgment, shown through your past work or writing. LOGISTICS - Location: This role is based in San Francisco, California. - Compensation: Depending on background, skills, and experience, the expected annual salary range for this position is $300,000–$400,000 USD. - Visa sponsorship: We sponsor visas. While we can’t guarantee success for every candidate or role, if you’re the right fit, we’re committed to working through the visa process together. - Benefits: Thinking Machines offers generous health, dental, and vision benefits, unlimited PTO, paid parental leave, and relocation support as needed.

ABOUT THINKING MACHINES The mission of Thinking Machines is to build AI that extends human will and judgment. We are training frontier models with Inkling, developing Tinker to let people make models their own, and crafting interfaces that broaden human-AI communication. We believe the future worth building is human, and we're hiring people who want to build it. ABOUT THE ROLE Our models and agents increasingly need to run code, use tools, and take actions in the world — safely, reliably, and at scale. The Core Services team builds the sandboxing infrastructure that makes this possible: the isolated execution environments where models write and run code, browse, and interact with tools, both for our researchers during training and for external users building on Tinker. We're hiring a software engineer to help design, build, and operate this sandboxing platform. You'll work on the systems that isolate and constrain untrusted, model-generated code, and that scale to support thousands of concurrent executions across the company. This is foundational infrastructure: every research experiment and every product surface that lets a model take action depends on it being fast, secure, and dependable. WHAT YOU'LL DO - Design, build, and operate sandboxed execution environments for running untrusted, model-generated code and tool calls at scale. - Improve isolation boundaries using technologies such as containers, microVMs, or gVisor-style kernels, balancing security against startup latency and throughput. - Build the scheduling, resource-management, and lifecycle systems that provision, reuse, and tear down sandboxes efficiently under heavy concurrent load. - Partner with researchers and Tinker's product team to expose sandboxing primitives that are simple to use and hard to misuse. - Instrument sandboxes for observability and abuse detection, and respond to novel escape or exploitation attempts as they're discovered. - Own reliability and performance of the sandboxing platform end-to-end, from API design down to the underlying virtualization layer. SKILLS AND QUALIFICATIONS MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS - Bachelor's degree or equivalent experience in computer science, engineering, or similar. - Proficiency in at least one backend language (we use Python or Rust). - Experience building or operating isolation or virtualization technology, such as containers, microVMs (e.g. Firecracker, Cloud Hypervisor), or sandboxed runtimes (e.g. gVisor, Kata Containers). - Solid grounding in Linux internals relevant to isolation: namespaces, cgroups, seccomp, capabilities, and networking. - Comfort operating across the stack and owning projects end-to-end. - Thrive in a highly collaborative environment involving many, different cross-functional partners and subject matter experts. PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS - Experience securing systems that execute untrusted or adversarial code, including threat modeling and hardening against sandbox escapes. - Familiarity with running large-scale, multi-tenant infrastructure on Kubernetes or similar orchestration systems. - Experience with performance-sensitive systems programming and reducing cold-start latency for ephemeral compute. - Track record of contributing to open-source infrastructure or security tooling. - Interest in how AI agents use tools and code execution, and how that shapes the design of safe execution environments. LOGISTICS - Location: This role is based in San Francisco, CA. - Compensation: Depending on background, skills and experience, the expected annual salary range for this position is $300,000 - $400,000 USD. - Visa sponsorship: We sponsor visas. While we can't guarantee success for every candidate or role, if you're the right fit, we're committed to working through the visa process together. - Benefits: Thinking Machines offers generous health, dental, and vision benefits, unlimited PTO, paid parental leave, and relocation support as needed.

ABOUT THINKING MACHINES The mission of Thinking Machines is to build AI that extends human will and judgment. We are training frontier models with Inkling, developing Tinker to let people make models their own, and crafting interfaces that broaden human-AI communication. We believe the future worth building is human, and we're hiring people who want to build it. ABOUT THE ROLE Mid-training is a step between pre-training and post-training, where we take a base model and train it into the foundation for reasoning. This role owns the late-stage training responsibility that shape what our models are fundamentally capable of, including things like synthetic data strategies, the data mix, quality uplift, context extension and capabilities across coding, math, reasoning, and so on. This role blends fundamental research and practical engineering, as we do not distinguish between the two internally. It's an excellent fit for someone comfortable working across the boundary of pre-training and post-training, and who wants to shape what our models can do at their core. What You’ll Do - Own the data. Decide what the model needs to see for each capability and each area of knowledge, then source, curate, and synthesize it. Build the pipelines that filter, deduplicate, verify, and rewrite raw material into training-grade datasets. You'll be responsible for producing data that actually moves the model, and for making sure it reflects how people really use these models, not just clean benchmark-style tasks. - Improve what the model knows. Design and measure interventions that increase knowledge: targeted corpora, synthetic rephrasings and QA over source documents, knowledge-dense mixes. Characterize how knowledge scales with data and when it is retained through post-training versus forgotten. - Instill behaviors and set the prior. Introduce new behaviors during mid-training and measure them the right way: not just whether an eval goes up, but whether post-training becomes easier, more sample-efficient, and more stable as a result. Work closely with the post-training team to decide which behaviors belong in mid-training and which belong in RL. - Build the quality pipeline. Own the automatic filtering and scoring stack: train and calibrate quality classifiers and LLM-based judges, build verifiers for synthetic data, and use them to raise the quality bar of the mix by a lot, not a little. Give the team fine-grained control over data attributes (difficulty, domain, format, style, correctness) and measure the effect of each. - Develop and tune the recipe. Iterate on mid-training recipes: the collection of datasets, training stages, annealing schedules, and hyperparameters. Measure how recipe choices affect metrics, including downstream of post-training. - Iterate on evals. Mid-training involves a never-ending loop of defining a set of evaluations, optimizing them, and then realizing your existing evals don't capture what matters. You'll be responsible for both making numbers go up and making sure the numbers are meaningful. - Debug and understand. While tuning the details of a training configuration, we often observe results that don't quite make sense. You'll be responsible for both getting things to work and developing a deeper understanding we can bring to the next problem. - Scale and explore. Mid-training will involve a combination of scaling existing methodologies and developing new ones. We'll want to both measure how performance scales with dataset size and explore using completely different kinds of training data. SKILLS AND QUALIFICATIONS Required qualifications: - Proficiency in Python and familiarity with deep learning frameworks (e.g., PyTorch, TensorFlow, or JAX). Comfort debugging distributed training and writing code that scales. - Bachelor’s degree or equivalent experience in Computer Science, Machine Learning, Physics, Mathematics, or a related discipline with strong theoretical and empirical grounding. - Clarity in communication, an ability to explain complex technical concepts in writing. Preferred qualifications (we encourage you to apply if you meet some but not all of these): - A strong grasp of probability, statistics, and ML fundamentals. You can look at experimental data and distinguish between real effects, noise, and bugs. - Experience building or owning training datasets for large models, including both synthetic data pipelines and real user data (collection, curation, filtering, or mixture design). - Experience with knowledge injection, continued pre-training, or domain adaptation of large models, and with measuring what a model knows. - Experience building model-based data quality systems: quality classifiers, LLM judges, or verification and rewriting pipelines operating at the scale of billions of tokens. - Experience generating synthetic data and understanding its failure modes (diversity collapse, contamination, teacher artifacts). - Research or engineering contributions in alignment, data-centric AI, or human-AI collaboration. LOGISTICS - This is an IC role within Thinking Machines’ Research Team. You will report directly to our Head of Research, and work most closely with our small group of post-training researchers. - Location: This role is based in San Francisco, California. - Compensation: Depending on background, skills and experience, the expected annual salary range for this position is $350,000- $475,000 USD. - Visa sponsorship: We sponsor visas. While we can't guarantee success for every candidate or role, if you're the right fit, we're committed to working through the visa process together. - Benefits: Thinking Machines offers generous health, dental, and vision benefits, unlimited PTO, paid parental leave, and relocation support as needed. As set forth in Thinking Machines' Equal Employment Opportunity policy, we do not discriminate on the basis of any protected group status under any applicable law.

New Energy Nexus

Who We Are New Energy Nexus (NEX) is an international nonprofit organization supporting entrepreneurs and innovators building the future of clean energy. Across more than 15 countries, we accelerate startups, strengthen clean energy ecosystems, and develop market-based solutions that accelerate the global transition to a clean energy economy. NEX does not develop or sell energy projects itself. We identify gaps that slow clean-energy adoption and bring together entrepreneurs, companies, investors, public-sector stakeholders and funders to address them. Our work is delivered through practical programs such as startup acceleration, workforce development, grants, training, market-access initiatives and industry partnerships, supported by philanthropic, public-sector and corporate funding. NEX has operated in Thailand since 2018. Today, the Thailand chapter is focused on two connected areas: scaling Distributed Energy, including rooftop solar workforce and market development; and building new pathways for Industry Decarbonization by connecting relevant technologies and entrepreneurs with corporate needs. The Role New Energy Nexus is seeking a hands-on, entrepreneurial leader to strengthen NEX Thailand as a resilient, high-performing organization and a trusted clean-energy market builder. This is a Thailand-first leadership role. The Country Director will lead the team, strategy, financial sustainability, organizational development, partnerships and program portfolio, with two immediate strategic priorities: Strengthen and scale the established Distributed Energy work, ensuring strong delivery, institutional resilience and continued market relevance. Assess NEX Thailand's existing assets and market opportunities in Industry Decarbonization, then define priority sectors, validate the business model, and build the partnerships, team and funding needed to develop this vertical. The Country Director will work across the Thai clean-energy ecosystem, connecting entrepreneurs and smaller businesses with corporates, funders, investors, public-sector actors and other partners. They will need to understand the interests, constraints and incentives of different market participants and turn those insights into practical programs, partnerships and funding opportunities. NEX Thailand operates with a lean team. The successful candidate will therefore be equally comfortable setting direction, representing the organization externally and doing the hands-on work of building teams, systems and delivery capacity. They will build on what already exists while taking ownership of what comes next. Core Accountabilities & Key Responsibilities Lead Vision, Strategy & Organizational Growth Lead and execute a focused multi-year strategy for NEX Thailand around Distributed Energy and Industry Decarbonization. Use local-market analysis, partner insight and evidence to identify market gaps where NEX can create distinctive value and measurable impact. Make deliberate choices about where the chapter should - and should not - focus, balancing current delivery with longer-term growth opportunities. Translate strategic objectives into clear annual priorities, workplans, organizational goals and program or partnership platforms. Monitor changes in policy, technology, funding and market demand and adapt the chapter's direction when evidence requires it. Fundraising & Partnerships Build on existing and adjacent relationships to develop a diversified pipeline of foundation, corporate, public-sector, multilateral and philanthropic funding opportunities, with support from NEX's global leadership. Shape credible, fundable programs and partnerships that respond to real market needs and strengthen NEX Thailand's long-term sustainability. Lead or contribute substantially to proposal development, funder engagement, partnership negotiations and relationship management. Develop strategic partnerships across the clean-energy ecosystem that improve program delivery, market access and organizational impact. Communicate NEX Thailand's results, learning and value proposition credibly to funders, partners, the global NEX network and the wider ecosystem. Oversee annual budgeting, financial planning, resource allocation and organizational performance. Program Implementation & Team Development Lead and develop a high-performing, collaborative team and ensure NEX Thailand delivers consistently strong results. Assess current capabilities and build the team, management practices and operating rhythm needed for the next phase of the chapter's development. Ensure the established Distributed Energy portfolio delivers high-quality outcomes in workforce development, entrepreneur support and market activation. Lead the validation and development of Industry Decarbonization by assessing market gaps, corporate demand, potential sectors, technologies, partners and sustainable delivery models. Oversee NEX Thailand's portfolio of startup acceleration, commercialization, workforce development and ecosystem programs. Ensure programs are informed by market evidence, entrepreneur and partner feedback, and clear impact objectives. Build long-term program platforms and organizational capabilities rather than relying only on one-off projects or grants. Establish appropriate impact measurement, learning and reporting practices, and use evidence to improve programs and resource allocation. Develop team members as credible external representatives and future leaders, and foster an inclusive culture of learning, ambition, accountability and care. Organizational Governance & Operations Establish clear roles, decision rights, management practices and ways of working that enable accountability, collaboration, transparency and autonomy. Oversee appropriate legal, governance and operational arrangements for NEX Thailand and ensure compliance with local regulations and NEX global policies. Oversee financial management, organizational risk and operational performance. Strengthen the systems and institutional capacity needed for sustainable growth and effective program delivery. External Leadership & NEX Network Collaboration Represent NEX Thailand as a credible speaker, convener, thought partner and ambassador within Thailand's clean-energy ecosystem. Build trusted relationships with corporates, entrepreneurs, funders, investors, public-sector actors, utilities, development partners and industry organizations. Develop NEX Thailand's reputation as a practical bridge builder that helps different market actors overcome persistent barriers to clean-energy adoption and commercialization. Share knowledge and best practices across the global NEX network and contribute to cross-country initiatives where they support Thailand's strategy.

ABOUT THINKING MACHINES The mission of Thinking Machines is to build AI that extends human will and judgment. We are training frontier models with Inkling, developing Tinker to let people make models their own, and crafting interfaces that broaden human-AI communication. We believe the future worth building is human, and we're hiring people who want to build it. About the Role This is a product role for someone who can operate inside frontier research without trying to turn research into a conventional software roadmap. The work requires judgment, technical fluency, user empathy, discretion, and the ability to create clarity without creating bureaucracy. The Post-Training Product Manager will work as a high-trust partner to our post-training researchers. Your role is to understand the work deeply enough to ask the right questions, identify missing connections, surface implications, and help the team decide what matters next. The role sits at the seam between research, model behavior, data and environments, evaluations, training and inference infrastructure, safety, product, and the people using our models. Inkling was post-trained across math, agentic code and tool use, audio, image, chat, and safety, with a large-scale asynchronous RL program that exceeded 30M rollouts. Inkling and Inkling-Small share a scalable post-training stack, and Inkling is available for customization on Tinker. The next phase requires tight loops among research priorities, model behavior, evaluations, infrastructure constraints, user and customer learning, and product direction. The person in this role will help those loops compound instead of fragment — maintaining the bird's-eye view while researchers go deep: where work is converging, where teams are solving adjacent problems without enough shared context, what evidence is missing, what decisions are blocked, and how research becomes a stronger model and a useful product. What You'll Do - Partner with post-training research leaders on priorities, sequencing, decision points, and the connection between research work and the broader model and product agenda - Maintain a clear view across SFT, RL, data and environments, evaluations, safety, model behavior, inference, training infrastructure, and product dependencies; identify gaps before they become blockers - Translate ambiguous research and product questions into concrete learning plans: what must be true, what evidence would change the decision, which experiments or user signals matter, and when the team should revisit the direction - Build lightweight operating mechanisms for critical work — owners, state, dependencies, decisions, risks, release criteria, and follow-through — without imposing a software-development process on research - Bring qualitative and quantitative evidence about model behavior and real workflows into research prioritization, ensuring user knowledge is represented accurately rather than flattened into feature requests - Connect research, product, infrastructure, safety, and leadership when a decision spans teams or when local optimization creates a broader product or model tradeoff - Support the path from research result to usable capability: internal adoption, evaluation, documentation, release readiness, product integration, and feedback after launch - Write clear narratives that explain what the team has learned, what remains uncertain, what decisions are needed, and why the work matters - Take on the unowned work that is necessary to move a critical research-product outcome forward Skills and Qualifications Minimum qualifications: - Experience as an early or first product leader in a technical startup, AI lab, research organization, or new product area where the role and operating model were not defined for you - Experience working closely with model training, post-training, RL, evaluations, data, safety, inference, developer platforms, or another technically demanding research-product area - Ability to understand research deeply enough to earn trust, ask sharp questions, and connect technical choices to model behavior and users without overstating your expertise - Strong track record identifying the missing connection, unresolved assumption, or cross-team decision that specialists may not see while deep in the work Preferred qualifications: - Ability to represent user and product truth in a research environment without reducing research to a list of customer requests - Comfortable making progress when the goal, metric, or path is still evolving, and the correct next step may be a learning loop rather than a launch - Clear communicator who handles disagreement without ego and is willing to change a recommendation when the evidence changes - Motivated by senior IC ownership and proximity to the work more than a large PM team or a conventional product ladder - Background as a research product leader or early AI product leader at a frontier lab, model company, or technically ambitious startup; a technical founder, former engineer, or applied scientist who moved into product; a PM for model training, post-training, evaluation platforms, data systems, ML infrastructure, or developer platforms; or the first PM at a company that turned a novel technical capability into a product, category, or developer ecosystem Logistics - Location: This role is based in San Francisco, CA. - Compensation: Depending on background, skills and experience, the expected annual salary range for this position is $350,000 - $400,000 USD. - Visa sponsorship: We sponsor visas. While we can't guarantee success for every candidate or role, if you're the right fit, we're committed to working through the visa process together. - Benefits: Thinking Machines offers generous health, dental, and vision benefits, unlimited PTO, paid parental leave, and relocation support as needed.

ABOUT THINKING MACHINES The mission of Thinking Machines is to build AI that extends human will and judgment. We are training frontier models with Inkling, developing Tinker to let people make models their own, and crafting interfaces that broaden human-AI communication. We believe the future worth building is human, and we're hiring people who want to build it. ABOUT THE ROLE We're hiring a Full Stack Engineer to help conceive, build, and ship new AI-powered products from the ground up. You'll work on early-stage product ideas that sit at the edge of what our models can do — moving from prototype to something real people rely on, often within weeks rather than quarters. This role sits at the intersection of product, design, and research. You'll partner closely with researchers to translate emerging model capabilities into interfaces and experiences, and with product and design to figure out what's worth building next. You'll frequently be the first engineer on a given idea, which means real ownership over both the technical direction and the product itself. We're looking for someone who is energized by ambiguity, comfortable working across the entire stack, and motivated by getting new things in front of real users quickly. WHAT YOU'LL DO - Design, build, and ship full stack features across our web applications — from backend services and APIs to production-quality frontend interfaces. - Prototype rapidly with new and emerging model capabilities, turning early research results into usable product experiences. - Take new product ideas from a rough concept to a live surface that real users can try, iterating quickly based on feedback. - Partner with researchers to understand model behavior, constraints, and capabilities, and translate them into product decisions. - Work with design and product partners to define what to build, not just how to build it. - Own the technical architecture of the products you build, including decisions about scalability, reliability, and maintainability as they mature. - Help set engineering practices and technical standards for a growing product engineering team. SKILLS & QUALIFICATIONS MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS - 5+ years of professional software engineering experience, with demonstrated ownership across both frontend and backend systems. - Strong track record shipping production web applications end to end, from data model and API design through polished user-facing interfaces. - Comfort working in ambiguous, fast-changing environments where product direction is still being discovered. - Experience making pragmatic technical tradeoffs to move quickly without accumulating unmanageable risk. PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS - Experience building products on top of large language models or other frontier AI systems, including working around their quirks and limitations. - A strong product sense — you enjoy figuring out what's worth building as much as how to build it. - Experience as an early or founding engineer at a startup, or leading a product from 0 to 1. - Familiarity with modern frontend frameworks and a good eye for interface design and usability. - Experience with distributed systems, infrastructure, or backend performance work at scale. - A history of working closely and effectively with researchers, designers, or other non-engineering partners. LOGISTICS - Location: This role is based in San Francisco, California. - Compensation: Depending on background, skills and experience, the expected annual salary range for this position is $300,000 - $350,000 USD. - Visa sponsorship: We sponsor visas. While we can't guarantee success for every candidate or role, if you're the right fit, we're committed to working through the visa process together. - Benefits: Thinking Machines offers generous health, dental, and vision benefits, unlimited PTO, paid parental leave, and relocation support as needed.

We are training frontier models with Inkling, developing Tinker to let people make models their own, and crafting interfaces that broaden human-AI communication. We believe the future worth building is human, and we're hiring people who want to build it. ABOUT THE ROLE We're hiring a Site Reliability Engineer (SRE) to keep our post-training and reinforcement learning (RL) systems fast, reliable, and easy for researchers to iterate on. Think of this as a production engineering or site reliability role built around model training: you'll own the health of the training runs, clusters, and pipelines that power post-training and RL at Thinking Machines. You'll work side by side with research teams during active model runs — debugging failures in real time, hardening infrastructure against the next class of problem, and building the tooling and automation that let researchers spend their time on the science instead of babysitting jobs. This role has real ownership: you'll be the person a research team calls when a run stalls at 2am, and the person who makes sure it doesn't happen again. WHAT YOU’LL DO - Own the reliability, performance, and uptime of large-scale post-training and RL training jobs, from launch through completion - Partner directly with research teams during active model runs, embedding with them to unblock training and speed up iteration - Debug failures across the full stack — accelerators, networking, storage, schedulers, and training frameworks — and drive issues to root cause - Build monitoring, alerting, and automated recovery so runs self-heal or fail fast instead of silently stalling - Improve checkpointing, fault tolerance, and job scheduling so hardware failures cost minutes, not days of compute - Build internal tools that reduce toil and improve cluster utilization across post-training and RL workloads - Participate in an on-call rotation supporting production model runs - Write postmortems and turn recurring failure patterns into permanent infrastructure fixes SKILLS & QUALIFICATIONS MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS - 4+ years of experience as a production engineer, site reliability engineer, or infrastructure engineer operating large-scale distributed systems in production - Track record debugging complex failures across distributed systems — networking, hardware, kernel, or scheduler issues - Strong software engineering skills in Python and/or Go/C++, with the judgment to know when to script a fix versus build a system - Solid grounding in Linux systems internals and networking fundamentals - Comfortable owning production systems, including participating in on-call rotations PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS - Experience operating GPU or TPU training clusters at scale - Familiarity with post-training and RL techniques (e.g., RLHF, PPO, DPO) and the infrastructure challenges specific to them, such as reward model serving, rollout generation, and mixed training/inference workloads - Experience with distributed training frameworks (e.g., PyTorch, Ray) and job schedulers (e.g., Slurm, Kubernetes) - Experience with high-performance networking (e.g., InfiniBand, RDMA, NCCL) and its role in distributed training performance - Experience building observability tooling purpose-built for ML training, not just general infrastructure - A track record of thriving in fast-changing, research-driven environments where priorities shift with the science LOGISTICS - Location: This role is based in San Francisco, CA. - Compensation: Depending on background, skills and experience, the expected annual salary range for this position is $300,000- $350,000 USD. - Visa sponsorship: We sponsor visas. While we can't guarantee success for every candidate or role, if you're the right fit, we're committed to working through the visa process together. - Benefits: Thinking Machines offers generous health, dental, and vision benefits, unlimited PTO, paid parental leave, and relocation support as needed.
