About this role

Tenstorrent is leading the industry on cutting-edge AI technology, revolutionizing performance expectations, ease of use, and cost efficiency.

We're looking for a Systems & Infrastructure Administrator, IT Contractor to support our Toronto operations and keep our infrastructure running smoothly.

The role requires strong attention to detail, comfort working autonomously, and the ability to coordinate across internal engineering, network, and operations teams as well as third-party vendors and data center personnel.

This role will be a 12-month contract fully on-site, based out of the downtown Toronto, ON Beanfield data center, with travel to Tenstorrent office locations and other data center facilities as required.

We welcome candidates at various experience levels for this role. During the interview process, candidates will be assessed for the appropriate level, and offers will align with that level, which may differ from the one in this posting.
