Magic's mission is to build safe AGI that accelerates humanity’s progress on the world’s most important problems. We believe the most promising path to safe AGI lies in automating research and code generation to improve models and solve alignment more reliably than humans can alone. Our approach combines frontier-scale pre-training, domain-specific RL, ultra-long context, and inference-time compute to achieve this goal.
About the role:As a Software Engineer, you will design, implement, and maintain scalable solutions and applications to accelerate our research and deploy our latest models.
What you might work on:Designing, implementing and maintaining scalable software and tools for the development and deployment of our AI models
Ideating and prototyping novel product features enabled by our research
Collaborating with researchers to integrate feedback and accelerate the team
Optimizing applications for speed, scale and reliability
Proven track record of shipping high-quality code in challenging projects
Exceptional software engineering skills across multiple languages (we use Python, Typescript, Go, Rust, and C++)
Experience with scalable software design and implementation
Ability to navigate ambiguity and adapt to changing priorities in a fast-paced environment
