Cloud & Systems Engineer

Daisytuner is building the software layer for the next generation of computing. We make complex software run efficiently on any processor—from CPUs and GPUs to novel accelerators—using a self-learning compiler and cloud-scale optimization infrastructure.

As a Cloud & Systems Engineer, you will not just maintain existing systems — you will shape the distributed infrastructure and developer platform that powers our self-learning compiler. You will work at the intersection of cloud infrastructure, distributed systems, backend services, and developer-facing applications, turning state-of-the-art compiler research into robust, scalable, production-grade systems.

This is not a traditional web role. The frontend is part of the control plane for a heterogeneous compute platform.

What you will be doing

• • Evolve and harden our CI runner fleet (bare-metal and hybrid cloud) and improve robustness and scalability of our runner and backend services
• • Contribute to scheduling and orchestration logic across heterogeneous hardware
• • Architect and scale backend services connecting users to our self-learning compiler infrastructure
• • Design robust REST APIs between dashboard, compiler services, and distributed runners
• • Integrate performance-critical native components into cloud services
• • Design and build the backend and frontend of our developer dashboard, enabling users to launch workloads, analyze performance, and retrieve optimization insights
• • Support infrastructure for ML workflows, including efficient vector search and RAG-style retrieval
• • Drive architectural improvements across hybrid cloud and edge environments and improve reliability, observability, and deployment workflows
• • Work closely with compiler engineers to expose advanced functionality via cloud services and translate research prototypes into scalable production systems

What you are bringing

• • Background in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field (degree or equivalent experience)
• • Strong experience designing and operating distributed or cloud-native systems
• • Backend development experience (TypeScript/Node.js preferred)
• • Experience integrating native libraries or performance-critical components (C/C++) into backend services
• • Experience with relational and/or non-relational databases, including high-performance data access patterns
• • Experience designing robust REST APIs and service boundaries
• • Understanding of hybrid cloud architectures and distributed compute systems
• • Experience building CI systems or distributed job runners(plus)
• • Experience with ML infrastructure or vector databases(plus)
• • Experience building developer-facing platforms (React or similar frameworks)(plus)

Who you are

• • You think in systems, not just features
• • You are comfortable operating across frontend, backend, and infrastructure layers
• • You question previous design decisions and propose pragmatic improvements
• • You are confident taking ownership in a small, fast-moving team
• • You can communicate effectively with both compiler researchers and infrastructure engineers
• • You are motivated by building robust, long-lasting technical foundations

What we offer

• • A small, highly technical team with direct impact on core technology
• • Competitive compensation and potential equity participation
• • The opportunity to work at the intersection of compilers, distributed systems, and cloud infrastructure
• • Real ownership over architectural decisions that underpin production systems
