Infrastructure Engineer

Summary:

Imbue leverages large amounts of compute to make its small research team more effective. This role is about enabling and supporting those large-scale compute efforts and all of the other software infrastructure that goes into making research a pleasant, seamless experience for the rest of the team, especially as they scale to increasingly higher-scale systems.

One benefit of this role is that you will not be on-call. All of Imbue's engineers are (and will continue to be) sufficiently empowered to fix their own infrastructure issues.

Example projects:

• Prototype and develop infrastructure for increasingly large-scale models
• Create tools and scripts for common research workflows (ex: changing the priority of a currently running job)
• Integrating with new cloud providers and enabling us to run experiments seamlessly across different clouds and physical infrastructure
• Consolidate our logging efforts
• Improve security policies and procedures
• Automate provisioning of new physical servers, NFS, etc

You are:

• A good software engineer. Imbue are strong adherents of "infrastructure as code", so you will be writing (and reading) lots of Python, Bash, etc.
• Passionate about enabling other engineers and creating good tooling for developers to interact with infrastructure in an automated way.
• Experienced enough with dev ops to be properly opinionated. You should understand the trade-offs of various approaches and technologies, and not be dogmatically tied to a single tool.
• Careful and detail-oriented. Imbue do science and care deeply about the correctness of the results and their infrastructure reflects this. They highly value robustness and ensuring that systems run reliably and correctly.

Benefits:

• Work directly on creating software with human-like intelligence.
• Generous compensation, equity, and benefits.
• $20K+ yearly budget for self-improvement: coaching, courses, conferences, etc.
• Actively co-create and participate in a positive, intentional team culture.
• Spend time learning, reading papers, and deeply understanding prior work.
• Frequent team events, dinners, off-sites, and hanging out.

About the company:

Imbue builds AI systems that reason and code, enabling AI agents to accomplish larger goals and safely work in the real world. Imbue trains its own foundation models optimized for reasoning and prototype agents on top of these models. By using these agents extensively, they can gain insights into improving both the capabilities of the underlying models and the interaction design for agents.

Imbue aims to rekindle the dream of the *personal* computer, where computers become truly intelligent tools that empower us, giving us freedom, dignity, and agency to pursue the things we love.
