Senior Software Engineer - AI Infra Visibility About Clockwork Systems Clockwork.io - Software Driven Fabrics to increase GPU cluster utilization Clockwork Systems was founded by Stanford researchers and veteran systems engineers who share a vision for redefining the foundations of distributed computing. As AI workloads grow increasingly complex, traditional infrastructure struggles to meet the demands of performance, reliability, and precise coordination. Clockwork is pioneering a software-driven approach to AI fabrics by delivering cross-stack observability to catch and quickly resolve problems, workload fault tolerance to keep jobs running through failures, and performance acceleration that dynamically routes and paces traffic to avoid congestion. We are looking for a strong Senior Software Engineer to help design and build scalable backend systems for AI and GPU cluster observability. In this role, you will work on high-performance distributed systems that power telemetry ingestion, data processing, and APIs for monitoring large-scale GPU clusters and AI workloads. What You'll Do Design and build scalable backend systems for metric collection, processing, and analysis. Develop robust methods to detect complex infrastructure issues that impact AI workloads. Build large distributed systems running in production environments. Collaborate across teams to deliver reliable, performant, and maintainable systems. What We Are Looking For 7+ years of industry experience building and operating production software systems. Strong foundation in data structures, algorithms, and software design. Fluency in one or more programming languages: C, C++, Go, Java, or Python. Experience designing, building, and scaling large distributed systems. Hands-on experience with service-oriented architectures and cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, Azure). Solid understanding of operating systems fundamentals (threads, scheduling, synchronization; kernel programming is a plus). Experience with databases, including design, development, or scaling. Excellent debugging, problem-solving, and communication skills. Nice to Have Knowledge of networking protocols; familiarity with NIC architecture and operation. Understanding of GPU or AI infrastructure (e.g., DCGM, PyTorch). Familiarity with observability systems (metrics, logs, traces); experience with OpenTelemetry, Prometheus, or distributed tracing. A friendly and inclusive workplace culture. Competitive compensation. A great benefits package. Catered lunch. Clockwork Systems is an equal opportunity employer. We are committed to building world-class teams by welcoming bright, passionate individuals from all backgrounds. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, ancestry, religion, age, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, national origin, disability, or protected veteran status.
