Job Description
Clockwork.io is a Silicon Valley startup that delivers state-of-the-art AI compute acceleration.
We are founded by Stanford researchers and veteran systems engineers with a shared belief: distributed systems powering modern AI require a new approach to managing time, reliability, and performance. Unlike traditional solutions that rely on specialized hardware or embedded telemetry in switches, Clockwork's system brings insane visibility, resilience, acceleration and efficiency to the network layer entirely through software. As AI workloads continue to scale in size, urgency, and impact, networks must evolve to keep up. Clockwork exists to make that evolution possible.
