The posting, in SambaNova's own words
archived Oct 26, 2026SambaNova is a leader in next-generation AI infrastructure, delivering a full-stack inference platform for customers worldwide. At the core of SambaNova's technology is the RDU (Reconfigurable Dataflow Unit) — a chip built on a dataflow architecture rather than the traditional GPU model. Its decode performance is especially strong for agentic workloads like multi-turn agents, code generation, and long-running applications. RDUs are packaged into SambaRack, rack-scale hardware that lets customers deploy state-of-the-art models with better performance, greater energy efficiency, and faster time to value.
About the team
The Cloud Platform team owns the production inferencing service that serves SambaNova's models to customers on RDU accelerators, including capacity planning, deployment, monitoring, and incident response across regions in the United States, Asia, Europe, and Latin America.
