Tenstorrent’s infrastructure team designs and builds the software platforms that power AI development, training, and deployment across our full stack. This role focuses on designing scalable services, architecting distributed systems, and building Kubernetes-based platforms that support a range of workloads from compiler toolchains to ML training pipelines. You’ll define how our software is deployed, scaled, and evolved to meet the needs of next-generation AI hardware.

This role is hybrid based out of Austin, TX; Toronto, ON; or Santa Clara, CA.

We welcome candidates at various experience levels. 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.

What You’ll Do

• Architect and implement distributed systems that run on Kubernetes, supporting software, compiler, and ML workloads.
• Design internal services, APIs, and automation frameworks that improve developer productivity and accelerate release cycles.
• Build platform capabilities for deploying, scaling, and monitoring microservices in hybrid and multi-cluster environments.
• Establish patterns for resilience, fault tolerance, and scalability across the software stack.
  
  

What You Bring

• Proven experience designing and delivering distributed systems on Kubernetes at scale.
• Strong skills in Python, Go, or Rust for building platform services and automation tooling.
• An understanding of microservice communication patterns, tracing, and performance debugging in production environments.
• A background in architecting CI/CD and deployment strategies for large, multi-team engineering organizations.
  
  

What You’ll Learn

• How to integrate compiler stacks, ML frameworks, and runtime services into a unified Kubernetes-based platform.
• New techniques for scaling AI workloads across clusters and geographies.
• How to design software platforms that balance performance, reliability, and developer efficiency.
• Our approach to delivering open, high-performance AI infrastructure that supports rapid iteration.
