About the role

  • Pluralis Research https://pluralis.ai/ is pioneering Protocol Learning https://arxiv.org/abs/2412.07890-a fully decentralised way to train and deploy AI models that opens this layer to individuals rather than well resourced corporates.
  • By pooling compute from many participants, incentivising their efforts, and preventing any single party from controlling a model's full weights, we're creating a genuinely open, collaborative path to frontier-scale AI.

Responsibilities

  • Multi-Cloud Infrastructure: Design resource management systems provisioning and orchestrating compute across AWS, GCP, and Azure using infrastructure-as-code (Pulumi/Terraform).
  • Real-World Networking: Build systems that simulate and handle real-world network conditions - bandwidth shaping, latency injection, packet loss - while managing dynamic node churn and ensuring efficient data flow across workers with heterogeneous connectivity, because our training happens on consumer nodes and non co-located infrastructure, not in a datacenter.

Requirements

  • Experience in a startup environment with an emphasis on micro-services orchestration or big tech background
  • Ideally, you'll have 5+ years of work experience with deep experience in:

Skills

  • Handle dynamic scaling, state synchronization, and concurrent operations across hundreds of heterogeneous nodes.

Benefits

  • GPU clusters, NVIDIA runtime, S3 checkpointing, Large dataset management and streaming, health monitoring, and resilient retry strategies.
