The world will be unrecognisable in 5 years.

Machine learning models aredriving our cars, testing oureyesight, detecting ourcancer, giving sight to theblind, giving speech to themute, and dictating whatwe consume, enjoy, and think. These AI systems are already an integral part of our lives and will shape our future as a species.

Soon, we'll conjure unlimited content: fromnever-ending TV series(where we’re the main character) topersonalised tutorsthat areinfinitely patientand leave no student behind. We’ll augment our memories withfoundation models—individually tailored to us throughRLHFand connected directly to ourthoughtsvia Brain-Machine Interfaces—blurring the lines between organic and machine intelligence and ushering in the next generation of human development.

This future demands immense, globally accessible, uncensorable, computational power. Gensyn is the machine learning compute protocol that translates machine learning compute into an always-on commodity resource—outside of centralised control and as ubiquitous as electricity—accelerating AI progress and ensuring that this revolutionary technology is accessible toall of humanitythrough a free market.

Our Principles:

AUTONOMY

• Don’t ask for permission - we have aconstraint culture, not a permission culture.
• Claim ownership of any work stream and set its goals/deadlines, rather than waiting to be assigned work or relying on job specs.
• Push & pull context on your work rather than waiting for information from others and assuming people know what you’re doing.
• No middle managers - we don’t (and will likely never) have middle managers.

FOCUS

• Small team - misalignment and politics scale super-linearly with team size. Small protocol teamsrivalmuch larger traditional teams.
• Thin protocol - build and designthinly.
• Reject waste - guard the company’s time, rather than wasting it in meetings without clear purpose/focus, orbikeshedding.

REJECT MEDIOCRITY

• Give direct feedback to everyone immediately rather than avoidingunpopularity, expecting things to improve naturally, ortradingshort-term pain for extreme long-term pain.
• Embrace an extreme learning rate rather than assuming limits to your ability/knowledge.

Responsibilities:

Design and improve infrastructure provisioning and observability

Implement and maintain our CI/CD pipelines

Seek out and automate away all mundane tasks within Gensyn

Participate in Gensyn protocol development - design & implementation

Minimum requirements:

Excellent knowledge of any programming language

Continuous integrationexperience- 3+ year experience in implementing and maintaining CI/CD pipelines

Infrastructure managementexperience- 3+ year experience of provisioning and maintaining infrastructure resources regardless whether it’s through Terraform, OpenTofu, AWS CDK, Ansible or any other (even home-made) tool

Strong willingness to learn Rust- as a Rust by default company, we require that everyone learns Rust so that they have context/can work across the entire codebase

Networking- understanding and troubleshooting experience of most common networking protocols: IP, TCP, UDP, HTTP

Highly self-motivated with excellent verbal and written communication skills

Comfortable working in an applied research environment -with extremely high autonomy

Nice to haves:

Rust- strong experience with systems programming in Rust (you know what a'lifetimeis and understand the purpose ofPin)

Distributed systems- experience designing or working with distributed systems that required fault tolerance, low latency and high availability

Open source work- experience working with large open source codebases - either as maintainer or trusted contributor

Knowledge of deep learning- solid theoretical grasp of how deep learning models function

Blockchain- understanding of blockchain fundamentals
