Role
Who you are
- Interacting with the Linux kernel, and experience coding on/in the kernel considered a plus
- Bachelor or Master’s in Electrical or Computer Engineering with more than 3 years of relevant experience
- Ability to understand multiple different programming languages and their respective build systems, including Rust, C, C++, Python
- Specific interest in extensive Rust knowledge as well as low level hardware interactions and potentially system drivers
- Familiarity with existing ci/cd pipeline frameworks
- Experience in scripting and test automation
- Good verbal and written communication skills
- Ability to work cross functionally and with multiple teams and systems
- Familiarity with Github ci/cd workflows and automation systems
- Systems level knowledge on Linux, and specific interest in low level systems knowledge pertaining to Ubuntu, Fedora, Enterprise Linux, SuSE, etc Linux distributions
What the job involves
- The systems tooling team is responsible for the base level tooling that all customers and developers use
- This role involves the upkeep of current Rust libraries like Luwen, which are used for low-level hardware interaction
- It also includes the possibility and eventual transition of some current and future tooling to Rust libraries
- This will also involve creating and maintaining appropriate ci/cd infrastructure relating, and helping to deal with and maintain appropriate packaging in various forms
- The position is expected to focus on the low level of general purposes operating systems as opposed to embedded rust development
- Maintaining, expanding, and improving existing rust code and libraries to better interact not only with the hardware itself but with the Linux Kernel and other systems relating to Tenstorrent hardware
- Creation and maintenance of CI/CD pipelines in Github
- Automation of release pipelines relating to existing and future projects
- Working with developers to develop more extensive integrations and testing in the CI/CD pipeline
Our take
Advances in artificial intelligence apps, combined with a global chip shortage, are strong tailwinds for chip processor Tenstorrent. The semi-conducter developer is designing specialized chips for running artificial intelligence applications, building chips for what it calls "software 2.0".
The company’s unique approach is to build for this future software, which it believes will be written at a higher level. Combining this with conditional computing, Tenstorrent supports a scalable distributed network approach that is analogous to a human brain.
While the market for specialised AI hardware is destined to be gigantic, the company has to compete with a plethora of hopeful startups (as well as major tech companies like NVIDIA and Qualcomm). That said, Tenstorrent boasts an excellent trajectory so far, with its latest moves including unveiling its high-end Wormhole AI processors, and a partnership with LG which will see the development of chips for "Affectionate Intelligence".
