The ideal candidate is intellectually curious, a strong communicator, and a collaborative problem-solver.

We’re looking for engineers who have a willingness to learn and want to build large, greenfield software projects geared toward accomplishing ambitious goals. Prior experience with neural networks is not required, but a desire to learn about them is!

Nice to have:

  • Experience building scalable web applications and optimizing them to reduce latency and increase throughput
  • Interest in managing and monitoring infrastructure deployments
  • Proficiency in Python, Javascript, and other modern languages
  • Experience writing custom efficient CUDA code
  • Experience managing and working with a large cluster of computers (especially around containers + GPUs in cloud environments and high performance filesystems)
  • Experience with neural networks
  • Exposure to various high-performance networking technologies including MPI, NCCL, RDMA, Infiniband and RoCE

The pay range for this position in California is $160,000 - $180,000yr; however, base pay offered may vary depending on job-related knowledge, skills, candidate location, and experience. In addition to base salary, we also offer competitive equity and benefits packages.

Adept is an equal opportunity employer. We're excited about candidates who will raise the bar of our team, regardless of specific experiences -- we encourage applicants from a range of backgrounds to apply.

Adept's mission is to build Useful General Intelligence. We are solving open problems in AI in order to train models that can do arbitrary things on a computer, and we are solving open product problems in order to package these models into a form factor that best enhances human experience and performance.

We’ve recently raised a $350M Series B led by General Catalyst and Spark, on top of a $65M Series A in 2022 with Addition and Greylock. We’re fortunate to be supported by amazing firms and angels such as Chris Re, Andrej Karpathy, Root Ventures, Howie Liu, Dara Khosrowshahi, and others, and were recently highlighted by Forbes. Adept is backed by a coalition of strategic partners, including Atlassian, Microsoft, NVIDIA, and Workday.

We're looking for passionate team members who want to swing for the fences to accomplish our mission, are excited by a startup environment where the hardest problems are yet to be solved, and are eager to learn and collaborate together in our San Francisco office.
