<div class="content-intro"><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">SambaNova is a leader in next-generation AI infrastructure, delivering a full-stack inference platform for customers worldwide. At the core of SambaNova's technology is the RDU (Reconfigurable Dataflow Unit) — a chip built on a dataflow architecture rather than the traditional GPU model. Its decode performance is especially strong for agentic workloads like multi-turn agents, code generation, and long-running applications. RDUs are packaged into SambaRack, rack-scale hardware that lets customers deploy state-of-the-art models with better performance, greater energy efficiency, and faster time to value.</span></p></div><h3><strong>About the team</strong></h3> <div> <div> <div> <div> <div> <div> <div> <div> <div> <p>The Cloud Platform team owns the production inferencing service that serves SambaNova's models to customers on RDU accelerators, including capacity planning, deployment, monitoring, and incident response across regions in the United States, Asia, Europe, and Latin America.</p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <h3><strong>About the role</strong></h3> <div data-rs-index="44" data-index="44" data-testid="transcript-row" data-perf-row="human" data-perf-row-from-tail="1" data-perf-row-streaming="false"> <div class="rounded-lg focus-visible:shadow-focus focus-visible:outline-hidden"> <div data-test-render-count="2"> <div class="mb-1 mt-[var(--msg-gap,1.5rem)] group group/message-row"> <div class="flex flex-col items-end gap-1"> <div class="group/message-row flex min-w-0 flex-col items-end gap-xs font-sans ms-auto max-w-[85%] cds-um-enter" data-cds="UserMessage"> <div class="relative flex max-w-full min-w-0 flex-col gap-xs rounded-card px-lg py-md text-heading break-words select-text text-primary bg-neutral"> <div id="_r_1si_" class=""> <div class="grid grid-cols-1 gap-2 relative [&_ul]:!space-y-0 [&_ol]:!space-y-0 [&_ul]:pl-8 [&_ol]:pl-8" data-testid="user-message"> <p class="whitespace-pre-wrap break-words">The Cloud Operations team is seeking an experienced engineering leader to scale the platform our internal and external customers use to access SambaNova RDUs.</p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <h3><strong>Responsibilities</strong></h3> <p>In this role, you'll architecting our next-generation system from the ground up, running the Kubernetes infrastructure that powers some of the most advanced AI workloads in the industry, and bridging multi-cloud and on-prem environments in ways no generic SaaS company can offer.
