Careers

Build the GPU platform we'd want to use.

CNLab is hiring across engineering, research, and customer engineering. Hybrid Seoul base; senior roles can be remote within Asia or Europe. Strong publishing policy. Equity for everyone.

Why CNLab

Six reasons to join.

Real GPU systems

You'll work on the actual scheduler, the actual operator, the actual partitioning shim. No layers of abstraction between your code and the silicon.

Academic-friendly

We publish. Conference attendance budget. Sabbatical for a research term. PhDs welcome — half the team is on or finishing one.

Open-source friendly

A portion of every engineer's quarter goes to upstream contributions. Multiple CNCF maintainers on staff.

Hardware budget

Annual workstation refresh. Personal H100 access for production engineers. Whatever you need to do good work.

Learning budget

$3,000 per year per person — books, courses, conferences. Self-directed.

Honest conversations

Direct feedback culture. Strong writing culture. We disagree well. Public retros, public roadmap, transparent comp bands.
