Software Engineer Graduate (AI Infrastructure — Compute Efficiency & Scheduling) - 2027 Start

ByteDance is a company focused on inspiring creativity and enriching life through innovative products. They are seeking a Software Engineer Graduate to work on AI infrastructure, improving the efficiency and reliability of large-scale computing systems.

What you'll do:

• Make AI infrastructure smarter. Help build the next generation of intelligent, AI-driven scheduling — deciding where and how millions of workloads run so the whole fleet is faster and more efficient
• Push efficiency to the frontier. Work on new ways to get more useful work out of the same hardware — smarter use of compute, memory, and power — directly lowering the cost of running AI at scale
• Operate at global scale, reliably. Help keep a massive, always-on platform stable across regions, and build automation (including AI-agent-assisted tools) that lets the system increasingly diagnose and heal itself
• Turn ideas into impact. Bring fresh thinking from your studies and projects into design discussions, prototype boldly, and see your work run in production for real users

What they're looking for:

• Individuals who are completing or have recently completed a Bachelor's/ Master's degree in Software Development, Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a related technical discipline
• Proficiency in at least one major programming language such as Go, C++, Rust, Python, or Java
• Solid foundation in at least one of: operating systems, distributed systems, computer architecture, networking, or building large-scale software
• Curiosity about large-scale systems, cloud infrastructure, or AI/ML infrastructure — shown through internships, coursework, research, competitions, or personal projects
• Any hands-on exposure to containers or cloud-native systems (e.g., Kubernetes) is a plus, but not required — we value strong fundamentals and a drive to learn
• Bonus: experience contributing to open-source systems projects

Benefits:

• Employees have day one access to medical, dental, and vision insurance
• A 401(k) savings plan with company match
• Paid parental leave
• Short-term and long-term disability coverage
• Life insurance
• Wellbeing benefits, among others
• 10 paid holidays per year
• 10 paid sick days per year
