ai& is a new global AI technology company dedicated to meeting the world's growing demand for AI. Our vision is twofold: to serve as a premier AI lab specializing in localization, and to act as a global infrastructure and compute provider. We are building a unified, optimized global platform that integrates next-generation data centers and infrastructure, heterogeneous compute serving, and advanced model services. We believe that the most effective way to build and scale AI is to own the stack from top to bottom.
At ai&, we empower small teams with the autonomy needed to tackle significant challenges. Our approach is to deconstruct large problems into manageable components and solve complex issues collaboratively. We seek highly motivated, mission-driven individuals who demonstrate strong personal agency. We value curiosity as the foundation of talent, and we are looking for people eager to develop alongside our evolving technology and expanding business.
We are actively hiring worldwide, with presence in Tokyo, SF, Austin, and Toronto. We are more than happy to meet exceptional talent where they are.
Role overview
As a Systems Engineer at ai&, you are responsible for the physical and software foundation that everything else runs on. You will plan, configure, and manage the bare-metal infrastructure that powers our data centers — from OS tuning and driver management to rack-scale GPU system provisioning. You are the person who makes sure the hardware is running at its full potential before the software teams ever touch it.
This is a hands-on role. You will work on some of the most advanced compute hardware available, including NVL72 and AMD Helios rack-scale systems, and you will be responsible for keeping them running at maximum efficiency. You think carefully about system configuration, firmware, and the low-level software decisions that compound into real performance differences at scale.
