AI in this role
Mirendil
Mirendil is a tech-first company focused on solving core bottlenecks that unlock step-change acceleration across science and technology. Our first goal is to democratize frontier AI R&D across scientific disciplines. We are building a frontier AI research company and training our own models end-to-end.
The Role
Our research moves only as fast as our compute. We’re looking for an engineer who can turn a lot of GPUs across a lot of providers into one fleet that researchers never have to think about. Your work determines how much of our compute actually goes to research. Some example areas you might work on:
Fleet bring-up and lifecycle - take new clusters from delivered to running real jobs fast, and keep them healthy as they age
Scheduling and allocation - decide what runs where, so pretraining, RL, and inference share capacity without fighting over it
Reliability at scale - detect and route around failing hardware automatically, before it costs us a training run
Capacity strategy - plan with research what compute we’ll need, and help decide what we buy, from whom, and when
Utilization - measure what every GPU-hour produces, and keep raising it
We offer a base salary of $300,000–$400,000 and a meaningful equity grant, depending on experience and background, along with competitive benefits.

Skills and AI tools this role asks for
Questions you could be asked
- Tell me about a research question you investigated. What did you find?
- How would you decide a model or AI system is ready to ship?
- Tell me about a time a model underperformed in production. How did you find out, and what did you change?
Adapt your resume
- List these exact terms on your resume: AI Research. An applicant tracking system matches the wording, not the idea.
- Attach one line of real, concrete experience to at least one of them. A tool named with nothing behind it rarely survives a human read.
- Lead with what you built, trained or shipped. This role is judged on the AI system itself, not the tools around it.
