We’re looking for an ML Infrastructure Engineer to join White Circle, an AI Safety company building the policy enforcement and optimization layer for AI systems. Backed by $11M from senior leaders at OpenAI, Anthropic, HuggingFace, Mistral, and DeepMind, White Circle processes 100M+ API calls monthly and runs its own LLMs in production.
You will
-
Build scalable RL and post-training pipelines, including smoke tuning runs for quality testing and ablations.
-
Design data control systems for rollouts, replay, filtering, evaluation, and policy updates.
-
Tune training and inference end-to-end for throughput: networking, memory, scheduling, data loading, storage, checkpointing, I/O.
-
Build infrastructure for model iteration (experiment runs, artifacts, evals, dashboards, reproducibility, cost visibility) and inference infrastructure for post-training and eval loops.
-
Build agentic development environments: coding-agent harnesses, tool integrations, runtime sandboxes, multi-agent orchestration.
Requirements
-
Hands-on experience designing and running distributed RL/post-training systems at scale (rollouts, replay buffers, reward signals, policy updates, eval loops).
-
Strong Python (concurrency, async, multiprocessing, performance optimization) and PyTorch or JAX.
-
Debugging distributed GPU workloads across CUDA, drivers, containers, NCCL, networking, storage, and checkpointing.
-
Profiling across the stack (py-spy, PyTorch profiler, Nsight, perf, tracing).
-
Inference stacks: vLLM, SGLang, TensorRT-LLM, Dynamo, or custom serving.
-
Ability to connect system metrics to model behavior and learning dynamics.
-
Relocation to Paris (hybrid) required.
Bonus
-
Public builder footprint: open-source contributions to RL, distributed ML, inference, eval, or agent infra; active technical presence on X.
-
Experience at high-bar AI infra/research teams (xAI, Qwen, ByteDance, Prime Intellect, or similar).
-
Ownership of custom training frameworks, trainers, schedulers, or data loaders.
-
GPU clusters on Kubernetes, Slurm, Ray; NCCL, RDMA, InfiniBand, RoCE, or EFA.
-
Rust, C++, CUDA, or Go; serious use of agentic coding tools (Claude Code, Codex, or similar).
We offer
-
Competitive salary + equity.
-
Hybrid work from Paris with relocation package.
-
Top-tier medical insurance in France and flexible time off.
-
L&D budget, all hardware and tools you need, plus covered AI agent and IDE subscriptions.
-
Team off-sites twice a year.
