About the role
We are seeking a Senior Engineer to lead development of our Core ClockSync systems. This role focuses on building and scaling low-latency, highly accurate time synchronization infrastructure across distributed environments. You will work at the intersection of distributed systems, networking, and systems engineering to ensure correctness, reliability, and performance of time coordination across clusters and services.
What they're looking for
- 6+ years of experience in systems or distributed systems engineering
- Strong proficiency in C++ and Go
- Deep understanding of distributed systems concepts (consensus, replication, fault tolerance)
- Experience with time synchronization protocols (NTP, PTP) or related domains
- Familiarity with Linux systems programming and networking stacks
- Experience debugging low-level performance and correctness issues
More about this role
Clockwork Systems was founded by Stanford researchers and veteran systems engineers who share a vision for redefining the foundations of distributed computing. As AI workloads grow increasingly complex, traditional infrastructure struggles to meet the demands of performance, reliability, and precise coordination. Clockwork is pioneering a software-driven approach to AI fabrics by delivering cross-stack observability to catch and quickly resolve problems, workload fault tolerance to keep jobs running through failures, and performance acceleration that dynamically routes and paces traffic to avoid congestion.
