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. Tenstorrent’s AI Software Infrastructure team builds the platforms that power internal development, workload orchestration, and hardware allocation across large-scale AI systems.

This role focuses on designing and operating Kubernetes-based platforms on on-prem data centers, enabling engineers and customers to run workloads efficiently on Tenstorrent hardware. This role is hybrid based out of Santa Clara, CA; Austin, TX; or Toronto, ON. We welcome candidates at various experience levels for this role.

During the interview process, candidates will be assessed for the appropriate level, and offers will align with that level, which may differ from the one in this posting.
