Research Engineer, Infrastructure, Kernels

Thinking Machines Lab's mission is to empower humanity through advancing collaborative general intelligence. We're building a future where everyone has access to the knowledge and tools to make AI work for their unique needs and goals. We are scientists, engineers, and builders who’ve created some of the most widely used AI products, including ChatGPT and Character.ai, open-weights models like Mistral, as well as popular open source projects like PyTorch, OpenAI Gym, Fairseq, and Segment Anything. About the Role We’re looking for an infrastructure research engineer to design, optimize, and maintain the compute foundations that power large-scale language model training. You will develop high-performance ML kernels (e.g., CUDA, CuTe, Triton), enable efficient low-precision arithmetic, and improve the distributed compu
