About the Job

Explore how a next-generation AI architecture behaves from rack scale to data centre scale.

As a Senior Systems Engineer, you will investigate a novel AI computing architecture under demanding real-world workloads. You will turn complex system behaviour into measurable evidence.

You will design experiments, benchmark representative AI workloads and explore how hardware components and software interact at scale. When behaviour is unexpected, you will turn uncertainty into new measurements.

Your work will help infrastructure engineers, architects and application specialists understand performance, scalability and reliability across the stack. You will also help develop tooling and automation to collect, analyse and visualise system metrics.

You do not need to be an AI expert. You will need strong judgement, a clear preference for evidence over opinion and a desire to explore complex systems beyond the obvious.
