Evaluate the quality, correctness, and completeness of GPU/accelerator kernel development tasks used to train and evaluate a frontier AI lab's models. You'll assess numerical correctness, performance-benchmarking fairness, task scoping, and compilation/runtime validity across diverse kernel task types — and provide clear, rubric-based written feedback. Basic Qualifications • 3+ years of hands-on experience developing, optimizing, or verifying GPU/accelerator kernels in at least two of: CUDA, Triton, NKI, or Pallas (JAX) • Strong understanding of numerical-correctness criteria for kernels (absolute/relative/ULP tolerances, reference-implementation selection) • Demonstrated experience with performance profiling and benchmarking (nsight, ncu, roofline analysis, or framework-native profilers) • Familiarity with common compilation and runtime failure modes (driver mismatches, OOM, launch-configuration errors, shape/stride mismatches, autotuning failures) • Experience with at least three…

We are looking for engineers who build and operate LLM agents in production, and who have real visibility into how agents are actually used inside a company. You have probably: - Shipped an agent that real users depended on, and been on the hook when it broke. - Figured out how to tell whether an agent got better or worse after a change. - Run agents that outlive a single request: scheduled jobs, long-running work, cloud sandboxes. - Watched your org build an internal assistant, and seen who adopted it and who quietly did not. We are especially interested in the layers most people do not talk about: internal monoagents wired into company data, shared company memory, reusable skills and playbooks, the tool and MCP surfaces agents call, and how anyone sees what agents did and what they cost. Applying starts with a short conversational AI interview. No coding, no take-home. We want to hear how you actually think about agent reliability, evaluation, and adoption, and the tradeoffs you…

We're looking for engineers who have shipped production search systems (especially agentic ones now that we're in the era of LLMs and agents) and are thinking hard about the requirements and optimizations of those systems. You've probably: - Owned relevance or retrieval on a system real users depended on - Decided how to quantify impact and improvements with these systems. - Built out systems related to agentic search. - Scaled data infrastructure to power modern search systems. This is a 25-minute conversational interview. No coding, no take-home. We want to hear how you actually think about search quality, evaluation, and the tradeoffs you've made in real systems. Bring war stories — the messier and more specific, the better. If your interview stands out, we'll follow up with a paid 30-minute live conversation with our team — $200 for your time, paid on completion of the call. If that sounds like you, apply and complete the interview. We review every submission.
