Have you ever read a job posting and your heart just sings the song of "HIRE ME PLEASE!!!", yeah, it's more heavy metal, if you were expecting soothing sounds...
I just read a job posting by Fractile and my heart sang out... So much so that I went to LinkedIn to stalk the personnel and send them all DMs to say PLEASE!!! (sorry about that btw)
Essentially, Rust + AI + 'we build the hardware, so you can push it's limits' = Heaven. Literal heaven, that's the kinda job that I'd wake up in the morning and love every second of it.
For those who don't know, I love optimizing and I love saying 'it can be done better' and not just say it, prove it, by building it. That's why a company that says 'hey, push the hardware limits and the hardware department will push back' is music to my ears, it means I can design systems optimized beyond what's technically possible on consumer (or enterprise) hardware, because they tailor the hardware and software to make it faster!
I haven't ever been this excited for a job posting and it shows why, accelerating AI inference has been a hobby of mine, I even experimented a lot with various techniques on how to do it, but this... This is it... For a long time, I believed that Fractals were the key to unlocking faster, smarter, less error prone LLMs and here pops up a company with it in their name! AND they're building hardware and software, specifically for it! If the rest of them didnt have their LinkedIn's private, I'd have personally messaged every person in the building.
Funniest of all, I didnt even submit my Resume, I just wrote them a massive block of text, with GitHub links, dev posts, design ideas on how I'd improve it, etc.
The other thing that sang out to me is 'no tests, but our interview will be in-depth', loved reading that! Test my capabilities, not if I can remember syntax, test whether I can make a system better, not whether I'm literate...
So fingers crossed everyone, I hope I get the job!
P.S. Anyone from Fractile here?
