    Company Description: As a cutting-edge AI infrastructure startup, we are building high-performance systems that power next-generation, large-scale AI deployments. Our team brings together industry veterans and passionate innovators who thrive in a fast-paced environment, tackling complex technical challenges at the boundary of hardware and software.

    Diagnostics Team Details: We are looking for inquisitive software engineers eager to bridge the gap between software platform architecture and physical hardware. Operating as a vital group within our software organization, our team rapidly iterates to validate hardware—from early prototype bring-up to full datacenter deployment—using an industry-leading software framework. Strong problem-solving skills, rapid adaptability, and enthusiasm for collaborative engineering are at the core of what we value.

    Job Responsibilities:

    • Design and write platform driver code across kernel and user space to model, stress, and verify hardware performance.
    • Drive architectural decisions for our platform software in a highly collaborative setting.
    • Partner cross-functionally with hardware, software, and mechanical engineering teams to build custom test suites for complex designs.
    • Engage in end-to-end system enablement, progressing from prototype bring-up to large-scale AI datacenter deployments.
    • Help shape our startup culture—take ownership, challenge existing paradigms, and contribute directly to the future of our tech stack.

    Qualifications:

    • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Electrical Engineering or a related field
    • Proficiency in Python, C
    • Solid understanding of systems software, including embedded systems and distributed systems
    • Familiarity with schematics/component datasheets
    • Familiarity with L2 networking protocols is a plus.
    • Good communication skills and ability to work collaboratively in a team
    • Confidence to both ask questions and take ownership of your projects

    What We Offer:

    • Direct 1:1 mentorship from industry veterans passionate about accelerating your early-career technical growth.
    • High ownership of high-impact projects tailored to your interests and expertise, with immediate visibility and impact across teams.
    • A supportive, highly collaborative culture that encourages continuous learning, curiosity, and creative problem-solving.
