About The Role

Boson AI builds production-grade AI systems that make communication with AI more natural, capable, and helpful. We are looking for a Site Reliability Engineer to help build and operate the infrastructure behind that work.

Based in Toronto or remote, you will work across the systems that enable large-scale AI training and serving: high-performance networks, GPU clusters, storage, scheduling, and the operational tooling that keeps them reliable. This is a hands-on role for someone who enjoys taking complex infrastructure from “it works” to dependable, observable, and scalable.

You do not need to be an expert in every layer of the stack. We are looking for deep strength in at least one area—networking, cluster scheduling, storage, GPU systems, or AI infrastructure— and the curiosity and judgment to collaborate across the rest.
