Clockwork.io – Software Driven Fabrics to increase GPU cluster utilization
Clockwork Systems was founded by Stanford researchers and veteran systems engineers who share a vision for redefining the foundations of distributed computing. As AI workloads grow increasingly complex, traditional infrastructure struggles to meet the demands of performance, reliability, and precise coordination. Clockwork is pioneering a software-driven approach to AI fabrics by delivering cross-stack observability to catch and quickly resolve problems, workload fault tolerance to keep jobs running through failures, and performance acceleration that dynamically routes and paces traffic to avoid congestion.
About the Role
We are seeking an experienced Tech Lead to lead the architecture, development, and scaling of a high-performance network monitoring and observability platform. This role will focus on building systems that provide deep visibility into RDMA, RoCE, InfiniBand, and TCP/IP networks. The ideal candidate has strong experience in distributed systems, Linux networking, and modern observability stacks (e.g., Grafana/Prometheus).

Clockwork is the Software-Driven Fabric company for AI and high-performance workloads. Its FleetIQ intelligence layer addresses AI's core scaling bottleneck: communication between GPUs, clusters, and clouds. Positioned between workloads and infrastructure, FleetIQ observes, predicts, and controls in real time-maximizing GPU utilization and accelerating job completion. Delivered in pure software across heterogeneous networks, it transforms communication from the weakest link into a unified control plane that classifies flows by intent, steers around hot paths, and paces traffic to protect priority work-unlocking dramatically higher utilization. By turning idle silicon into productive intelligence, Clockwork enables enterprises, neoclouds, and hyperscalers to do more with the same GPUs-making AI faster, reliable, efficient, and sustainable. Companies including Uber, Wells Fargo, DCAI, Nebius, Nscale, and White Fiber trust Clockwork to power their most demanding workloads. Learn more at www.clockwork.io.
