About OLIX AI is growing faster than any technology in history and the explosion in demand has created a massive infrastructure gap. The industry is still leaning on a ten-year-old hardware blueprint that has reached its limit. A new paradigm that is faster and more efficient will be the biggest economic opportunity of the next century and create the most important company of the next decade. The OLIX Decode Accelerator 1 (DX-1) is the first accelerator architected specifically for decode. Rack-scale co-design of logic, data movement, packaging, optics and interconnect enables a step change in system level performance.

The Role We’re searching for Architect, Staff hold and articulate a clear technical bar and raise peers to it through review, pairing, and direct challenge; build leverage through systems, frameworks, and developing senior talent rather than solving everything personally.

To minimise your commute and maximise your life, we offer an annual Living-Local Bonus if your residence is within 20 minutes of the office Retirement Benefits: Employer-contributed retirement plans to help you build long-term financial security.

Due to U.S. export control regulations, candidates’ eligibility to work at OLIX depends on their most recent citizenship or permanent residency status. We are generally unable to consider applicants whose most recent citizenship or permanent residence is in certain restricted countries (currently including Iran, North Korea, Syria, Cuba, Russia, Belarus, China, Hong Kong, Macau, and Venezuela).
