More about this role
The mission of Thinking Machines is to build AI that extends human will and judgment. We are training frontier models with Inkling, developing Tinker to let people make models their own, and crafting interfaces that broaden human-AI communication. We believe the future worth building is human, and we're hiring people who want to build it.
The IT team builds secure infrastructure and efficient processes that enable our employees to move quickly. We operate an all-Mac environment and manage our endpoint fleet as a distributed platform, applying production-engineering practices to device management and security.
Our endpoint configurations, security policies, scripts, and software deployments are increasingly managed through version-controlled workflows with testing, review, staged rollouts, and rollback capabilities. This role will work closely with IT, Security, Identity, and Infrastructure to deliver a secure and reliable employee computing experience.
