About Fractile
Fractile is building silicon, systems, and software that redefine the frontier of AI — running the world's largest language models at radically higher speed and lower cost. Founded in 2022, our 100+ person team spans hardware and software, and we're growing fast.
But revolutionary hardware only matters if developers can get their models running on it quickly and predictably. That's where you come in.
The Role
We're looking for Developer Experience Engineers to design and build the tooling and workflows that companies will use to optimise their large language models on Fractile's next-generation inference hardware.
This is a role that sits at the intersection of deep systems knowledge and genuine empathy for developers. You'll shape how the outside world experiences Fractile — from a customer's first quickstart guide through to advanced performance profiling. You'll also be the voice of that external developer inside the company, turning real deployment pain into roadmap priorities.
You'll work in a tight hardware-software co-design loop alongside ML compiler, runtime, systems software, and silicon engineers — influencing APIs and abstractions before they're set in stone.
What You'll Do
- Design and build the tools customers use to run, optimise, and monitor large language models on Fractile hardware
- Build interfaces to diagnostic, profiling, and observability tools that help developers understand performance, debug issues, and optimise deployments
- Write documentation, quickstarts, reference examples, and tutorials that define a developer's first and lasting impression of our platform
- Act as the voice of the external developer inside Fractile — translating real deployment pain into roadmap priorities
- Collaborate with ML compiler, runtime, systems software, and silicon teams to shape APIs and abstractions early in the design process
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
What We're Looking For
We care about depth of knowledge, empathy for developers, and a genuine drive to make complex things feel simple. You'll be a strong fit if you have:
- Strong software engineering fundamentals and experience building developer-facing tooling, SDKs, APIs, or platforms that other engineers depend on.
- Experience developing for inference hardware and/or GPUs (e.g. one year or more using CUDA or ROCm).
- A good understanding of modern ML workloads and the practical challenges of deploying large language models to production.
- An instinct for reducing the number of steps, surprises, and rough edges between a user and a working results.
Bonus Points
These Aren't Requirements, But They'd Make You Stand Out
- Experience with inference serving stacks (vLLM, SGLang, TensorRT-LLM, Triton).
- A track record of contributing to or maintaining open source developer tools and ML ecosystem projects
- Experience writing technical documentation and developer education content.
