Model Engineer - Member of Technical Staff
Job description
About the role
Founding members train models that understand infrastructure systems and define the modeling roadmap. This role builds the decision layer for physical infrastructure that runs critical services.
Software engineers turn product ideas into working code. Engineers work in small teams, review each other's work, and ship in small batches. Most teams follow agile practices such as sprints and daily standups. Engineers also write tests, fix bugs, and improve performance. The field values clear communication as much as technical skill. Engineers spend part of every week on planning, code review, and debugging, not just writing new code. The ability to explain a technical decision in plain words separates strong engineers from the rest.
Key facts
What you'll do
End-to-end models are trained to predict faults, model network state, and enable autonomous repair for infrastructure systems.
Multi-modal models are built over structured networking data to perform function-calling and drive decisions across the network.
Model performance is evaluated on real-world hardware and virtualized environments to validate reliability, accuracy, and latency.
Network operations are optimized and issues are anticipated before operators notice them through model-driven insights.
Models are shipped into production networks with end-to-end ownership that spans firmware, applications, and infrastructure teams.
Requirements
A bachelor's degree in a relevant field is required.
The physical world is modeled across hardware and software layers while thinking in systems beyond benchmarks.
Founders are collaborated with to define modeling approaches, team culture, and long-term vision.
Models are shipped into production and work across firmware, application, and operations teams in a full-stack environment.
Practical notes
The role requires US citizenship or permanent residency.
The team operates across hardware, firmware, operating systems, and operations with a proprietary dataset and thousands of H100s for compute.
Typical interview steps
Hiring for engineering roles usually starts with a recruiter screen, followed by one or two technical rounds. Candidates often solve a coding problem, discuss past projects, and answer system design questions. Some loops include a take-home task. Final rounds typically cover team fit and give candidates a chance to ask questions. Interviewers look for how you break down an unfamiliar problem, not just whether you reach the answer. Practicing a few problems aloud and reviewing your own past projects are the best preparation.
Good to know
The role works with large language models and networking telemetry in production environments.
The position is backed by leading investors and operates past product-market fit at scale.
Systems are designed for end-to-end automation and reliability in critical infrastructure.
Questions to ask
Worth asking in any interview: how the team measures success, who the role works with daily, what the onboarding looks like, and what the company is trying to achieve this year. Asking what past hires did well is a strong final question. Keep the list short and pick the questions that matter most to you.
Career growth
Engineering careers usually progress from individual contributor to senior, staff, and principal levels. Some engineers move into management and lead teams of five to twenty people. Others stay on the technical track. Growth follows demonstrated impact, not tenure alone. A typical engineering ladder has clear levels with defined expectations for scope, quality, and mentorship. Moving up usually requires owning outcomes end to end rather than completing assigned tickets.
