About the Role

Were seeking a highly skilled Software Engineer (C++ Systems) to join our client's team and help build the core of our GPU virtualization platform.

  • Research and develop solutions for GPU oversubscription, checkpointing, and distributed GPU clusters
  • Support new hardware and software architectures with a deep, end-to-end understanding of the stack
  • Debug low-level systems in production environments
  • Diagnose and resolve performance issues in machine learning workloads
  • Collaborate closely with the CTO on advanced systems design and implementation

Required Experience

  • Proven experience building and operating low-level systems in production environments
  • Background working with compilers, kernels, or networking protocols
  • Demonstrated ability to trace and resolve performance issues across complex systems
  • Technical Skills

  • Expert-level C++ proficiency (Rust experience is acceptable, though primary development will be in C++)
  • Experience optimizing C++ and NIC performance
  • Strong systems-level debugging and performance analysis skills
  • Education

  • Degree in Computer Science or a related field from a top-tier program
  • Strong academic performance (3.7+ GPA)
  • Soft Skills

  • Ability to deliver high-quality output quickly in an early-stage startup environment
  • Comfortable taking full ownership of critical production systems
  • Thrives in ambiguous, high-impact problem spaces
  • Company & Opportunity

  • Building GPU virtualization software that dramatically improves GPU efficiency
  • Operating a fast-growing GPU cloud, scaling from $0 to $500K in revenue in just six months
  • Backed by Y Combinator and a recently closed $4.5M Seed round
  • Join as employee #5 at a pivotal moment : productmarket fit validated and scaling rapidly
  • Work directly with the CTO on systems challenges few startups get to tackle
  • This is a hardcore C++ systems role focused on GPU virtualization, performance tuning, production debugging, and advanced research
  • Expect ownership, impact, and problems that demand top 0.1% technical skill
  • Why This Role

    If you love squeezing performance out of low-level systems, enjoy working at the intersection of GPUs, distributed systems, and production infrastructure, and want to help scale a breakthrough platform at an early stage, this role offers a rare and exciting opportunity.
