May 20, 2024 - Gensyn is hiring a remote Infrastructure Engineer. 💸 Salary: competitive salary + share of equity and token pool. 📍Location: Northern America, Western Europe.

The world will be unrecognisable in 5 years.

Machine learning models are driving our cars, testing our eyesight, detecting our cancer, giving sight to the blind, giving speech to the mute, and dictating what we consume, enjoy, and think. These AI systems are already an integral part of our lives and will shape our future as a species.

Soon, we'll conjure unlimited content: from never-ending TV series (where we’re the main character) to personalised tutors that are infinitely patient and leave no student behind. We’ll augment our memories with foundation models—individually tailored to us through RLHF and connected directly to our thoughts via Brain-Machine Interfaces—blurring the lines between organic and machine intelligence and ushering in the next generation of human development.

This future demands immense, globally accessible, uncensorable, computational power. Gensyn is the machine learning compute protocol that translates machine learning compute into an always-on commodity resource—outside of centralised control and as ubiquitous as electricity—accelerating AI progress and ensuring that this revolutionary technology is accessible to all of humanity through a free market.

Our Principles:

AUTONOMY

Don’t ask for permission - we have a constraint culture, not a permission culture.
Claim ownership of any work stream and set its goals/deadlines, rather than waiting to be assigned work or relying on job specs.
Push & pull context on your work rather than waiting for information from others and assuming people know what you’re doing.
No middle managers - we don’t (and will likely never) have middle managers.

FOCUS

Small team - misalignment and politics scale super-linearly with team size. Small protocol teams rival much larger traditional teams.
Thin protocol - build and design thinly.
Reject waste - guard the company’s time, rather than wasting it in meetings without clear purpose/focus, or bikeshedding.

REJECT MEDIOCRITY

Give direct feedback to everyone immediately rather than avoiding unpopularity, expecting things to improve naturally, or trading short-term pain for extreme long-term pain.
Embrace an extreme learning rate rather than assuming limits to your ability/knowledge.
Drive - push areas of ownership to final outcome, despite any barriers.

Responsibilities:

👉 Design and improve infrastructure provisioning and observability

👉 Implement and maintain our CI/CD pipelines

👉 Seek out and automate away all mundane tasks within Gensyn

👉 Participate in Gensyn protocol development - design & implementation

Minimum requirements:

✅ Excellent knowledge of any programming language

✅ Continuous integration experience - 3+ year experience in implementing and maintaining CI/CD pipelines

✅ Infrastructure management experience - 3+ year experience of provisioning and maintaining infrastructure resources regardless whether it’s through Terraform, OpenTofu, AWS CDK, Ansible or any other (even home-made) tool

✅ Strong willingness to learn Rust - as a Rust by default company, we require that everyone learns Rust so that they have context/can work across the entire codebase

✅ Networking - understanding and troubleshooting experience of most common networking protocols: IP, TCP, UDP, HTTP

✅ Highly self-motivated with excellent verbal and written communication skills

✅ Comfortable working in an applied research environment - with extremely high autonomy

Nice to haves:

🔥 Rust - strong experience with systems programming in Rust (you know what a 'lifetime is and understand the purpose of Pin)

🔥 Distributed systems - experience designing or working with distributed systems that required fault tolerance, low latency and high availability

🔥 Open source work - experience working with large open source codebases - either as maintainer or trusted contributor

🔥 Knowledge of deep learning - solid theoretical grasp of how deep learning models function

🔥 Blockchain - understanding of blockchain fundamentals
