We're proud to serve as the AI infrastructure platform for teams developing autonomous vehicles (L3/L4/L5), as well as other groups building AI-driven products for GM and its customers.
We enable rapid innovation and feature development by optimizing for high-priority, ML-centric use cases. Our platform supports the training and deployment of state-of-the-art (SOTA) machine learning models with a focus on performance, availability, concurrency, and scalability. We're committed to maximizing GPU utilization across platforms (B200, H100, A100, and more) while maintaining reliability and cost efficiency.
About the Role:
We are looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join our team and help us scale our platform for performance, reliability, and usability. You'll be responsible for building critical backend services, integrating with GPU hardware and orchestration systems, and driving improvements to both system architecture and user experience.
This is a hands-on engineering role that requires a strong background in distributed systems, infrastructure, and a product mindset with a keen eye for user experience.
