Member of Technical Staff — Training Infrastructure

To achieve this breakthrough, we are building a Large Physics foundation Model (LPM) because physical systems, unlike text or images, are governed by verifiable cause and effect. We believe that scaling on physics will enable an understanding of causality required to predict and control physical systems, starting with weather.

We look for infrastructure engineers who are excited to tackle unsolved problems. Training an LPM means scaling novel architectures over multimodal physical data — a problem where the playbooks from language and vision only partially apply. Your mission is to make large-scale training fast, efficient, and reliable, so that every GPU cycle accelerates research progress.

Responsibilities

• Design, implement, and optimize distributed training systems that scale across thousands of GPUs
• Research and test parallelization strategies and numerical precision trade-offs across model scales, including for architectures that don't map cleanly onto existing LLM training stacks
• Analyze, profile, and debug low-level GPU operations to maximize throughput and hardware utilization
• Build reusable frameworks for checkpointing, fault tolerance, and reproducibility that stay robust under rapid research iteration
• Collaborate with researchers to bring novel model architectures from prototype to full scale
• Stay up-to-date on research to bring new ideas to work

What we're looking for

• Demonstrated proficiency with distributed training frameworks and techniques (e.g. FSDP, DeepSpeed, Megatron, Pytorch, JAX/XLA) to train large foundation models
• Strong grasp of state-of-the-art techniques for optimizing training workloads: parallelism strategies, memory optimization, mixed precision, communication overlap
• Ability to profile and debug performance in complex codebases, from framework internals down to kernels and collectives
• Deep understanding of deep learning frameworks (e.g. PyTorch, JAX) and their underlying system architectures
• Bonus: contributions to open-source ML infrastructure (e.g. PyTorch, Megatron-LM, DeepSpeed, XLA)
