About the role

  • Lead Compute Engineer managing and developing GPU compute products at a neocloud AI infrastructure startup. Collaborating with engineers and customers to enhance performance and scalability.

Responsibilities

  • Contribute directly to architecture and code, particularly on GPU provisioning, orchestration, and the customer control plane
  • Lead a team of engineers across platform infrastructure, backend services, and internal tooling
  • Own the engineering delivery process: planning, prioritisation, and execution in close collaboration with the founding team
  • Implement and maintain observability, alerting, and on-call processes to meet customer SLAs
  • Hire and onboard engineers as the team grows; act as a culture carrier for technical excellence
  • Work directly with early customers to understand their GPU workload requirements and feed these into the roadmap

Requirements

  • 7+ years of engineering experience, with at least 1-2 years in a tech lead or engineering manager capacity within the GPU space.
  • Practical experience with GPU compute - CUDA environments, NVIDIA drivers, MIG/vGPU, or similar
  • Experience with container orchestration (Kubernetes, Docker) and infrastructure-as-code (Terraform, Ansible)
  • Deep understanding of GPU cluster management and GPU compute layers (bare-metal provisioning, k8s, inference software, …)
  • Startup mindset: you move fast, take ownership, and are energised rather than overwhelmed by ambiguity
  • Bonus: Experience in hyperscalers or Neocloud infrastructure, or data centre deployments. Deep knowledge of job schedulers (Slurm, LSF, Ray), networking (InfiniBand/RoCE), large-scale storage systems (VAST, Weka, DAOS, Ceph, AWS S3, Lustre, GPFS), GPU inference and fine-tuning customer workloads (vLLM, LanceDB …)

Benefits

  • Attractive equity for an early employee in a high-growth space
  • Work directly with founders and have a real voice in product and company direction
