About Us

Together.ai is at the forefront of AI infrastructure development, creating robust platforms and frameworks to support state-of-the-art large-scale machine learning training. We specialize in delivering resilient, high-performance systems that power breakthroughs in AI research and deployment.

We are seeking a Large-scale Training Resilience Engineer to ensure the reliability, fault tolerance, and scalability of our large-scale training infrastructure. If you are passionate about solving complex distributed systems problems and building highly available AI training pipelines, this role is for you.

 Responsibilities

  • Resilience and Fault Tolerance Design:
    • Develop systems to identify, isolate, and recover from failures in large-scale distributed training workloads.
    • Implement proactive error-detection mechanisms, including straggler detection and fault prediction algorithms.
  • Distributed System Optimization:
    • Ensure stability and consistency across distributed training clusters (e.g., GPU/TPU clusters).
    • Optimize recovery time and throughput in the face of hardware or software failures.
  • Monitoring and Observability:
    • Design and maintain observability systems for monitoring cluster health, training performance, and failure patterns.
    • Leverage telemetry data to improve incident response and automate mitigation strategies.
  • Automation and Tooling:
    • Build resilience-focused tooling, such as job health monitors, distributed checkpoint systems, and automated recovery workflows.
    • Enhance debugging and diagnosis frameworks for distributed training jobs.
  • Collaboration and Documentation:
    • Collaborate with platform engineers, researchers, and ML practitioners to identify pain points and resilience requirements.
    • Document and communicate best practices for fault-tolerant AI training.

 Qualifications

Must-Have:

  • Experience:
    • 5+ years of experience in distributed systems, cloud infrastructure, or large-scale machine learning training.
  • Technical Skills:
    • Proficiency in distributed computing frameworks (e.g., PyTorch DDP, TensorFlow, Horovod).
    • Strong knowledge of resilience strategies in distributed systems (e.g., leader election, consensus, retry mechanisms).
    • Hands-on experience with observability tools (e.g., Prometheus, Grafana, ELK stack).
  • Programming:
    • Proficient in Python, Go, or a similar programming language.
  • Infrastructure:
    • Experience working with cloud platforms (e.g., AWS, GCP, Azure) and Kubernetes for workload orchestration.
  • Soft Skills:
    • Strong analytical, problem-solving, and debugging skills.
    • Excellent collaboration and communication skills.

Nice-to-Have:

  • Familiarity with GPU/TPU cluster management and scheduling.
  • Experience with high-availability database systems or message queues.
  • Experience with open-source contributions or community engagement.
