Our company believes that criminal history may have a direct, adverse and negative relationship on the following job duties, potentially resulting in the withdrawal of the conditional offer of employment ## Description You'll grow from scoped tasks toward end-to-end ownership on problems like: * Make AI infrastructure smarter. Help build the next generation of intelligent, AI-driven scheduling - deciding where and how millions of workloads run so the whole fleet is faster and more efficient. * Push efficiency to the frontier. Work on new ways to get more useful work out of the same hardware - smarter use of compute, memory, and power - directly lowering the cost of running AI at scale. * Operate at global scale, reliably. Help keep a massive, always-on platform stable across regions, and build automation (including AI-agent-assisted tools) that lets the system increasingly diagnose and heal itself. * Turn ideas into impact. Bring fresh thinking from your studies and projects into design discussions, prototype boldly, and see your work run in production for real users. Why This Role Matters The AI era runs on compute - and compute is scarce, expensive, and growing faster than the world can build it. How efficiently we use every chip, every server, and every watt is now one of the defining challenges for our company and the entire industry. Our team owns exactly that challenge at ByteDance's global scale: we make the infrastructure behind TikTok and our AI/LLM products faster, smarter, and dramatically more efficient - work that changes the economics of AI itself. ## Related Videos - [Shipping Faster with Less: Render on Cloud Hosting, AI Workloads, and the Future of DevOps](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1894-shipping-faster-with-less-render-on-cloud-hosting-ai-workloads-and-the-future-of-devops) - [Green Cloud Computing](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/592-green-cloud-computing) - [Understanding Kubernetes in a visual way](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100085-understanding-kubernetes-in-a-visual-way) - [Hiring AI Native Talents](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100268-hiring-ai-native-talents) - [WebAssembly: The Next Frontier of Cloud Computing](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/972-webassembly-the-next-frontier-of-cloud-computing) - [Instant KAI Sandboxes with vCluster: Multi-Tenant, Multi-Scheduler GPU Sharing](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100333-instant-kai-sandboxes-with-vcluster-multi-tenant-multi-scheduler-gpu-sharing) ## Related Articles - [Highest Paying Tech Companies for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/220-highest-paying-tech-companies-for-developers) - [How to Become an AI Engineer](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/331-how-to-become-an-ai-engineer) - [Dev Digest 132 - Binging WADFlix?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/473-dev-digest-132-binging-wadflix) - [Dev Digest 120 - Apple and peers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/455-dev-digest-120-apple-and-peers) - [Is Software Engineering Over-Saturated?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/418-is-software-engineering-over-saturated) - [Dev Digest 121 - AI goes offline](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/456-dev-digest-121-ai-goes-offline)
