About the role
TorchPass keeps distributed PyTorch training running through hardware and network failures. The Product Engineering team makes it something customers can install, trust, and run on their own clusters. We are looking for an experienced engineer who has turned working infrastructure software into a product that other people can deploy and operate. You will own the parts of TorchPass that customers touch, and you will be one of the engineers they hear from when something does not work. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.
What they're looking for
- 4+ years building or operating infrastructure software in production
- You have taken a system that worked for its authors and made it installable and supportable by people who did not build it
- Strong debugging skills on production systems you did not write
- Deep experience with Kubernetes or Slurm
- Strong Python, and the ability to read and change Go
- You use AI coding tools well, and you understand and stand behind the code you ship
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.
