Research Engineer, Infrastructure, Inference
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 looking for an infrastructure research engineer to design, optimize, and scale the systems that power large AI models. Your work will make inference faster, more cost-effective, more reliable, and more reproducible to enable our teams to focus on advancing model capabilities rather than managing bottlenecks.
Our focus is on performant and efficient model inference both to power real-world applications and to accelerate research. This role is responsible for the infrastructure that ensures every experiment, evaluation, and deployment runs smoothly at scale.
Note: This is an "evergreen role" that we keep open on an on-going basis to express interest. We receive many applications, and there may not always be an immediate role that aligns perfectly with your experience and skills. Still, we encourage you to apply. We continuously review applications and reach out to applicants as new opportunities open. You are welcome to reapply i
