Distributed Systems Engineer

Job Summary

Owning the software architecture of the multi-chip simulation stack, the full-time remote Distributed Systems Engineer will design and build simulators for host-to-chip and chip-to-chip communication, while ensuring the simulation infrastructure is efficient and scalable for daily continuous integration testing.

Key Responsibilities

• Design and build simulators for host-to-chip and chip-to-chip layers, including drivers, links, protocols, and transfers
• Own the architecture of the multi-chip simulation stack, integrating various fidelity simulators and scaling from a few chips to full racks
• Correlate simulated behavior with real hardware measurements, ensuring regression coverage and clear documentation of assumptions

Required Qualifications

• 5+ years of experience as a distributed systems engineer with expertise in coordinating multiple machines or accelerators through RPC or message passing
• Strong understanding of distributed software failure modes, including races, partial failures, and deadlocks
• Experience debugging timing-dependent issues across hosts and accelerators using traces and logs
• Proficiency in Rust or expert-level C/C++ skills with a willingness to work in Rust, along with Python for tooling and analysis
• Demonstrated experience in building simulators or emulators for distributed systems is strongly preferred
