ABOUT POOLSIDE
In this decade, the world will create artificial intelligence that reaches human level intelligence (and beyond) by combining learning and search. There will only be a small number of companies who will achieve this. Their ability to stack advantages and pull ahead will determine who survives and wins. These companies will move faster than anyone else. They will attract the world's most capable talent. They will be on the forefront of applied research and engineering at scale. They will create powerful economic engines. They will continue to scale their training to larger & more capable models. They will be given the right to raise large amounts of capital along their journey to enable this.
poolside exists to be one of these companies - to build a world where AI will drive the majority of economically valuable work and scientific progress.
We believe that software development will be the first major capability in neural networks that reaches human-level intelligence because it's the domain where we can combine Search and Learning approaches the best.
At poolside we believe our applied research needs to culminate in products that are put in the hands of people. Today we focus on building for a developer-led increasingly AI-assisted world. We believe that current capabilities of AI lead to incredible tooling that can assist developers in their day to day work. We also believe that as we increase the capabilities of our models, we increasingly empower anyone in the world to be able to build software. We envision a future where not 100 million people can build software but 2 billion people can.
ABOUT OUR TEAM
We are a remote-first team that sits across Europe and North America and comes together once a month in-person for 3 days and for longer offsites twice a year.
Our R&D and production teams are a combination of more research and more engineering-oriented profiles, however, everyone deeply cares about the quality of the systems we build and has a strong underlying knowledge of software development. We believe that good engineering leads to faster development iterations, which allows us to compound our efforts.
ABOUT THE ROLE
Design and implement the infrastructure and tooling used by poolside researchers and engineers.
YOUR MISSION
The infrastructure team has 2 main missions: Make it seamless for our researchers and engineers to access the infrastructure they need, when they need it and ensure the underlying infrastructure for our cloud offering is robust, reliable, and scalable.
As a team we also handle incident response and security, maintaining trust and stability for our customers and users.
As part of the infrastructure team you are in a unique position to have an impact on all areas of poolside: from the building of our foundational models (from training to fine-tuning), all the way to our cloud offering.
RESPONSIBILITIES
You will be responsible for designing and managing the infrastructure required by poolside's engineers and researchers. Leveraging automation to multiply your impact is essential for this role. Additionally, you will develop tools and solutions aimed at increasing the efficiency of our engineering teams.
