Role
Who you are
- We are seeking a talented Software Engineer with a strong background in control plane and data plane development, along with expertise in Kubernetes, container orchestration, and cloud-native infrastructure
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent practical experience
- 3+ years of experience writing high-quality production code
- Hands-on experience in building and maintaining highly available, scalable, and performant distributed system
- Expertise in cloud-native technologies (AWS, Azure, GCP) and Kubernetes-based deployments
- Deep understanding of networking, security, and authentication mechanisms in cloud environment
- Familiarity with observability stacks (Prometheus, Grafana etc)
- Proficiency in Go and Python
- Knowledge of low-level operating system foundations (Linux kernel, file systems, containers)
What the job involves
- Anyscale is looking for a Software Engineer to join the Infrastructure team
- Anyscale aims to provide the next generation of tools and infrastructure to make developing and running distributed AI applications in the cloud as easy as on your laptop
- As part of the Infra team, we build the scalable, secure, and robust backbone that enables this vision
- Our team is responsible for both the control plane, which orchestrates cluster management, scheduling, and user access, and the data plane, which ensures high-performance execution of distributed workloads
- You will play a crucial role in designing, implementing, and optimizing the critical infrastructure that powers Anyscale’s cloud platform
- You will have the opportunity to work on open-source Ray, contribute to our infinite laptop proprietary product, and develop seamless integration between the two, while also delivering high-impact features for our customers
- Design, build, and scale services that orchestrate Ray clusters across cloud and on-prem environments, supporting both VM-based and Kubernetes-based deployments
- Optimize control plane components for large-scale, distributed AI/ML workloads
- Build intelligent scheduling and resource management systems for heterogeneous compute clusters
- Develop features to enhance the reliability, performance, scalability, and observability of Anyscale-managed Ray workloads
- Support and optimize accelerator integration (e.g., GPUs, TPUs)
- Handle container image management and dependency resolution for distributed workloads
- Participate in code reviews, design and architecture discussions
- Provide on-call support, working closely with customer and field teams to troubleshoot infrastructure issues
- Collaborate with leading distributed systems and machine learning experts to push the boundaries of AI infrastructure
Our take
Anyscale operates at the heart of the rapidly expanding AI infrastructure market, where organizations increasingly need systems build to handle large-scale, multimodal, and compled Ai workloads. Founded by the original creators of Ray - and open-source distributed computing framework powering companies like Netflix, Uber, and OpenAI - Anyscale was built to overcome the "AI complexity wall" that legacy compute can't handle. And its providing an AI-native platform that can scale seamlessly from as ingle machine to thousands of GPUs.
The company's impact come from making distributed AI development faster, easier, and far more efficient. By pairing Ray's flexible compute framework with managed clusters, advanced developer tooling, and performance optimization, Anyscale removes the operational burden of scaling AI. Companies like Canva, Recursion, and RunwayML have seen dramatic gains in utilization, speed and cost. So it's fair to say Anyscale has helped teams deliver AI applications faster and with greater reliability.
The company recently strengthened its position through major partnerships with Azure, CoreWeave, and Google CLoud, bringing AI-native compute directly into enterprise environments. New capabilities like RayTurbo, Kubernetes-native deployment, and first-party managed Ray services make it easier than ever to run high-performance AI at dscale. With model sizes and multimodal workloads growing rapidly, Anyscale is in a good position to remain a foundational platform for organizations building the next generation of AI systems.
