At Cedana, we are solving what many thought was impossible: the seamless, live migration of active CPU+GPU containers across global compute.
We're building the next generation of AI orchestration systems, founded on our pioneering work in checkpoint/restore technology. This isn't just an incremental improvement; it's a fundamental shift that makes distributed computing truly portable, elastic, and resilient across planet scale compute. This is an exceptionally difficult systems problem that requires a rare combination of kernel engineering, distributed systems design, and a relentless pursuit of perfection.
We’re backed by leading investors, including a co-founder of OpenAI, the former Chief Architect of Slack, the founding team of Meta AI, YC, Initialized Capital, and Garry Tan. To achieve our mission, we’re looking for brilliant systems engineers — the kind who are obsessed with understanding how computing works from the silicon up. We’re looking for systems engineers who live deep in the container stack and understand Kubernetes beyond just the surface.
If you thrive on solving deep, complex problems in uncharted territory, we invite you to join us.
What You Will Do
As a core member of our engineering team, you will build and fortify the "magic" that powers our platform. You will operate across the entire compute stack, from the Linux kernel to our managed Kubernetes offering, to deliver a product that is both powerful and exceptionally reliable.
Design and Build New Orchestration Primitives: Architect and implement core components of our system, leveraging our unique insights into checkpointing, virtualization, and container orchestration to create capabilities that don't exist anywhere else. Design and implement novel scheduling and resource management capabilities by integrating our core checkpoint/restore engine directly into the control planes of Kubernetes, SLURM, and other orchestrators.
