Role Summary – Software Engineering track
As a Research Engineer on the software side, you will design and harden the codebase, tools and distributed services that let our scientists train and ship frontier-scale models. You do not need prior ML experience; what matters is writing clean, reliable code that scales.
You will join our Platform REs team to build and maintain shared dev-tools, evaluation & data pipelines, training framework, cluster tooling and CI/CD.

Location: Paris / London (hybrid) or remote EU/UK with one hub day per month.

What will you do
-Accelerate researchers by owning the complex parts of large-scale pipelines and delivering robust internal tooling.
-Interface research with product: expose clean APIs, automate model pushes, surface live metrics.
-Write efficient, well-tested Python and systems code; enforce code review, CI, and observability.
-Design and optimise distributed services (Kubernetes / SLURM, thousands-of-GPU jobs).
-Prototype utilities (CLI, dashboards) and carry them through to stable, shared libraries.

About the Research Engineering team
Based in Paris and London, our REs move fluidly along the research ↔ production spectrum. Engineers can rotate between Platform and Embedded tracks as their interests evolve.

About you
-Master’s in Computer Science (or equivalent experience).
-4 + years building and operating large-scale or distributed systems.
-Strong software-design instincts: modular code, tests, CI/CD, observability.
-Fluency in Python plus one systems language (C++, Rust, Go or Java).
-Hands-on with container orchestration and schedulers (Kubernetes / K8s, SLURM, or similar).
-Comfortable profiling performance, optimising I/O, and automating workflows.
-Self-starter, low-ego, collaborative, high-energy.

Nice-to-haves
-Exposure to ML workloads or data-processing pipelines.
-Experience with GPU clusters or CUDA.
-Open-source contributions or widely used internal tools.
