AI hardware, backed by Founders Fund
fractile.aifractile.ai - AI hardware, backed by Founders Fund - London (UK) - Onsite
ABOUT FRACTILE
Fractile was founded in 2022 on the bet that, eventually, the world’s most capable AI systems would be limited in their impact by the amount of time they take to produce useful outputs. We bet everything on the logical conclusion: that the only way to truly unlock this latent value, to make speed viable at scale, was to radically re-invent the hardware that we run our frontier AI models on. Ever since, we have been building chips and systems that tackle this problem: how to generate output at thousands of tokens per second, while handling the complexity and capacity challenges of operating large models at very long contexts.
We’ve recently raised $220M from Founders Fund and Accel and the most important work lies ahead. Come and join the mission!
THE ROLE
As a Software Engineer you will be a core part of our technical team working alongside the hardware, software and research teams to solve cutting-edge problems in AI hardware, ranging from verification to simulation, alongside the best of the best (DeepMind, Apple, Meta…).
