Senior Software Engineer

Clockwork.io is a Silicon Valley startup that delivers state-of-the-art AI compute acceleration. 

We are founded by Stanford researchers and veteran systems engineers with a shared belief: distributed systems powering modern AI require a new approach to managing time, reliability, and performance. Unlike traditional solutions that rely on specialized hardware or embedded telemetry in switches, Clockwork’s system brings insane visibility, resilience, acceleration and efficiency to the network layer entirely through software. As AI workloads continue to scale in size, urgency, and impact, networks must evolve to keep up. Clockwork exists to make that evolution possible.

We are currently seeking senior software engineers who will design the next generation of network acceleration software. Stay a nanosecond ahead of everyone else by joining our team of engineers in California!
