Open Role - Intelligent Systems Engineer

About Us

The last era of AI scaled on a single bet: bigger models, more identical chips, more data. As problems grow more complex and the requirements of intelligence more diverse, that bet is breaking down. Real-world problems are heterogeneous: no single model or chip can solve them alone. The next era of AI requires heterogeneity at the infrastructure level - diverse models on diverse chips, each with distinct strengths, co-evolving into systems of capability that move the Pareto frontier of what is possible. That's what we are building.

Callosum is the Intelligent Systems Company. We started from questioning what actually creates intelligence. We believe there is no single answer, but rather a system-level solution. We co-evolve models, workflows, and silicon together to show that intelligence does not come from a single component, but it emerges from the diversity of co-optimised mechanisms working together and aware of each other. Heterogeneity will define the next era of compute, and is a principle that holds in biological, neuronal, and economic systems alike.

In early 2026 we launched with results showing orders of magnitude improvements in performance, and this is only the beginning. Agentic AI is the future of how intelligence is deployed: multi-step, long-horizon, and operating in changing environments. These systems are inherently heterogeneous, and can only be as powerful as the infrastructure that runs them.

We are engineers and scientists based in London, working together across the full depth of the stack. We are curious, intellectually honest, and building what doesn't exist yet. If you thrive on uncharted territory and are energised by the scale of the challenge, we'd love to hear from you.

Open Application

We're always looking for exceptional engineers who want to work on the hardest problems in AI infrastructure - bringing novel accelerators to life, building the systems that orchestrate them, and charting the new territories of what heterogeneous compute can do.

If you think you have unique skills to contribute, or have experience in any of the following, we'd love to hear from you:

• High-performance systems and low-level performance engineering

• Inference infrastructure, orchestration, or distributed systems

• Hardware bring-up, kernel development, or accelerator programming

• Simulation, modelling, or workload design

This is a general interest form rather than an application for a specific role. We prioritise active applicants for open positions, but we review all submissions on an ongoing basis and will reach out when we see a strong match. If you spot a specific role that excites you, we'd encourage you to apply directly.
