About this job
Job Description
Infrastructure Engineer (Founding Team)
Location: San Francisco, CA (In-Person / Hacker House)
Type: Full-Time, Permanent (Strictly Direct Hire — No Agencies or Contract Work)
Compensation: $150,000 – $250,000 + High Equity + Provided SF Housing & Full Perks
The Role & Ownership
We operate a complex, multi-region GPU infrastructure stack spanning AWS, GCP, Base10, and on-premise enterprise environments. We are seeking one exceptional Infrastructure Engineer to take complete, end-to-end ownership of this entire stack.
You will be the sole owner of our global infrastructure, sitting directly in the critical path of live production traffic for thousands of scale-ups and enterprises.
What You’ll Build
- End-to-End Stack Ownership: Architect, scale, and maintain multi-cloud GPU infrastructure across AWS, GCP, Base10, and AWS Marketplace.
- Low-Latency Inference: Design and deploy ultra-fast, high-reliability GPU serving systems handling live customer traffic.
- Enterprise & On-Prem: Deploy, manage, and optimize custom infrastructure setups for tier-1 enterprise clients.
- Efficiency & Reliability: Continuously optimize GPU utilization, system scaling, and cloud expenditure.
Strict Candidate Requirements
- Tier-1 Technical Pedigree: Strong Computer Science/Engineering foundation from a top-tier institute with deep systems-level depth.
- Startup & Zero-to-One Track Record: 2+ years of hands-on infrastructure experience with proven architectural ownership at a high-growth, venture-backed startup or high-value tech company. Must have built scalable infrastructure systems from scratch (not just managed narrow slices like training pipelines).
- High Ownership & Velocity: Ability to thrive in an intense, high-speed, in-person startup environment (SF Hacker House setup).
- Location: Based in or willing to relocate to San Francisco (Visa sponsorship available: H-1B, O-1, OPT).
- This is a full-time, permanent core team role. Applications for contract, C2C, consulting, agency, or short-term engagements will be immediately rejected.
We are an elite, high-growth AI research and infrastructure company building next-generation LLM interpretability and context optimization systems. Our custom ML models analyze and compress token contexts before they hit underlying models—slashing inference costs by ~50%, dropping latency, and boosting accuracy.
Just seven months post-launch with over 1,000 paying customers, we are backed by $11.7M from First Round Capital, Y Combinator, and the founders of Hugging Face, Slack, and Dropbox.
