Tenstorrent is leading the industry on cutting-edge AI technology, revolutionizing performance expectations, ease of use, and cost efficiency. With AI redefining the computing paradigm, solutions must evolve to unify innovations in software models, compilers, platforms, networking, and semiconductors. Our diverse team of technologists have developed a high performance RISC-V CPU from scratch, and share a passion for AI and a deep desire to build the best AI platform possible. We value collaboration, curiosity, and a commitment to solving hard problems. We are growing our team and looking for contributors of all seniorities.
Overview: This team keeps Tenstorrent's AI systems running in production at scale — bringing compute clusters online, building the pipelines that ship our software, and getting models serving reliably on our hardware.
What you might work on: This posting spans multiple teams within Software: Cloud computing, Infrastructure/DevOps & Data Centre (DC) Deployment. One application, one recruiter screen — then we match you to the specific team (below) and location that fits best.
- Cloud and data infrastructure: Develop the ML & cloud infrastructure that gets AI workloads running on hardware at scale.
- DC Deployment: Automate cluster setup and health checks using Ansible/AWX, and troubleshoot server, Linux, and network issues.
- Infrastructure: Build CI/CD pipelines, containerized test environments, Kubernetes deployments and release automation for multi-host execution.
This role is on-site, based out of Austin or Santa Clara.
