Sambanova Careers

SambaNova Systems is a U.S.-based artificial intelligence technology company focused on developing advanced hardware and software systems optimized for large-scale AI workloads. Founded in 2017 by Stanford University professors and industry veterans Rodrigo Liang, Kunle Olukotun, and Christopher Ré, the company’s mission is to make artificial intelligence easier to deploy and scale by tightly integrating AI-specialized hardware with a full-stack software platform. SambaNova is best known for its Reconfigurable Dataflow Unit (RDU) architecture and the DataScale platform, which are designed to accelerate machine learning model training and inference for enterprises and research institutions.

Headquartered in Palo Alto, California, SambaNova has grown rapidly and employs hundreds of engineers, researchers, and AI specialists. The company has raised significant venture funding—over $1 billion from investors including SoftBank Vision Fund and BlackRock—placing it among the most well-funded AI infrastructure startups. Its systems are used in sectors such as financial services, government, healthcare, and scientific research, and the company has increasingly focused on providing generative AI infrastructure and services that enable organizations to run large language models securely within their own environments.

SambaNova is widely recognized as a key innovator in AI hardware and dataflow computing. Competing with companies developing specialized AI accelerators and AI cloud platforms, it has positioned itself as an end-to-end enterprise AI platform provider, offering both on-premise and cloud-based solutions for deploying large-scale generative AI models.
