Software Engineer, Linux Kernel
xAI, Palo Alto, CA +1
The role
At SpaceXSI, we design, build, and operate the largest AI supercomputers in the world, from the ground up. As a member of the Platform Core team, you will be responsible for the lowest layers of the software stack on the devices setting the pace for how fast we can push the frontier of AI. Our team’s software interfaces directly with the core hardware of the supercomputer and its network fabric. Our mission is to expose the full capability of that hardware — limited only by physics — to the rest of the stack, all while retaining the smallest, most robust footprint possible.
What you will do
- Build and maintain the lean, high-reliability Linux-based operating system that underpins our supercomputer network fabric
- Write (or rewrite) high-performance device drivers to extract the maximum physical capability from our network and compute hardware
- Manage deployment, operation, and debugging of our platform in production, including: rigorous resolution and root-causing of anomalies to ensure the system is constantly improving in reliability and developing and constantly improving our tools for observability and configuration management
