About the role

We're looking for a Site Reliability Engineer (SRE) to drive the reliability of Tinker end-to-end. You'll work alongside the engineers building the platform and research teams to make every layer of the system more robust and resilient. Define and own end-to-end reliability, from CI/CD flows to production observability and incident response.

What they're looking for

  • Bachelor's degree or equivalent experience in computer science, engineering, or similar
  • Experience in distributed systems, cloud infrastructure, or site reliability engineering
  • Proficiency writing software to solve reliability problems, including building tooling and automation
  • Experience with production incident response, postmortems, and systematic reliability improvement
  • Strong communication skills and track record of coordination across engineering and research teams
  • Deep experience operating production cloud services at scale (e.g., public cloud platforms, internal cloud services)
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.

Tinker is our fine-tuning API that empowers researchers and developers to customize frontier AI to their needs — opening access to capabilities that have previously been concentrated in a handful of labs. We manage the infrastructure while allowing Tinkerers full flexibility in training open weights models with their own data, algorithms, and for their own needs. Tinker is rapidly adding new customers, features, and novel use-cases. We’re hiring to grow the platform alongside the Tinker community.
