Infrastructure and Platform Development Engineer

Tenstorrent’s AI Software Infrastructure team builds the platforms that power internal development, orchestrate workloads, and manage large-scale AI hardware across on-prem data centers. This team develops and productionizes infrastructure used both internally and externally on Tenstorrent systems.

This role is hybrid, based out of Toronto, ON; Santa Clara, CA; Austin, TX; Belgrade, Serbia; Warsaw, Poland; or Gdańsk, Poland.

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.

 

Who You Are

• Strong backend or infrastructure engineer with experience building and operating platforms on bare-metal or on-prem systems.
• Deep experience with Kubernetes, including cluster provisioning, operations, and debugging production issues.
• Proficient in Python or Go with experience building APIs and services.
• Comfortable with Linux systems, networking fundamentals, and debugging distributed systems.
• Collaborative and adaptable, able to work across teams in fast-moving environments.

 

What We Need

• Design, build, and maintain infrastructure platforms for development workflows, workload orchestration, and ML services.
• Develop APIs and services that enable internal teams to interact with infrastructure systems.
• Productionize and scale Kubernetes-based platforms, including cluster management and operational maturity.
• Integrate automation workflows using CI/CD pipelines and infrastructure-as-code tools such as Ansible and GitOps frameworks.
• Collaborate with SRE, infrastructure, and deployment teams to support large-scale on-prem and customer-facing environments.

 

What You Will Learn

• How large-scale AI infrastructure is built and operated on custom accelerator hardware.
• Advanced Kubernetes patterns including operators, controllers, and production-scale cluster management.
• How on-prem data center infrastructure differs from cloud-native environments at scale.
• How infrastructure platforms evolve from internal tools to production-grade external systems.
• How cross-functional teams coordinate to deploy and support AI systems in real-world environments.
