Principal Cloud Platform Engineer
SambaNova, Austin, Texas +3
About the job
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.
About the Team
The Cloud Platform team runs SambaNova’s production inference service. We handle capacity planning, deployment, monitoring, and incident response across regions in the United States, Asia, Europe, and Latin America.
About the Role
As a Principal Cloud Platform Engineer, you will design and build the software that deploys, schedules, and scales model workloads across our shared accelerator hardware, staying hands-on in the code while leading the technical design. You will set uptime and latency targets for our inference endpoints and share in the on-call rotation that keeps them running.
