About Together AI

Build what's next on the AI Native Cloud. Full-stack AI platform for inference, fine-tuning, and GPU clusters — powered by cutting-edge research. Backed by General Catalyst, Kleiner Perkins and NEA.

About the role

Together AI is building the AI Native Cloud, an end-to-end platform for the full generative AI lifecycle, combining the fastest LLM inference engine with state-of-the-art GPU cloud infrastructure. The Together Cloud team builds the [Together GPU Clusters](https://www.together.ai/gpu-clusters) flagship IaaS product that provides high-performance, AI-ready GPU clusters through a self-serve cloud console, along with the virtualized infrastructure layer powering Together's inference, RL, and fine-tuning products.

What they're looking for

  • 7+ years of professional software development experience, with expert-level proficiency in at least one backend language (Golang desired), writing high-performance, well-tested, production-quality code
  • Track record of owning the architecture of large distributed systems from blank page to production at scale, including the judgment calls that could not be reversed cheaply
  • Deep experience building and operating globally distributed, high-performance microservice architectures across one or more cloud providers (AWS, Azure, GCP)
  • Expert systems knowledge across compute, networking, and storage — including concurrency, memory management, performant I/O, and scale at a global level
  • Demonstrated technical leadership beyond your own commits: mentoring senior engineers, leading design reviews, and driving alignment across teams that do not report to you
  • Excellent communication and diplomacy skills — able to write design docs that settle arguments, and to work effectively with technical and non-technical stakeholders

As a Staff Software Engineer focusing on AI Compute in the Together Cloud org, you will set technical direction for and build major components of the next generation AI cloud platform – a highly available, global cloud infrastructure with cutting-edge virtualization of the latest ML hardware: GB300s/VRs, BlueField DPUs, InfiniBand and dual/quad-plane RoCEv2 fabrics. That virtualized computing platform powers our own SaaS products – inference, RL, and fine-tuning – and serves external cloud customers through self-serve offerings such as on-demand/reserved Kubernetes/Slurm clusters, across dozens of data centers and hundreds of thousands of GPUs.
