Description

Founding C++ Systems Engineer

Location: San Francisco

Location Type: IN_OFFICE

Employment Type: FULL_TIME

Company

Thunder Compute is GPU cloud platform built on custom virtualization that delivers 5x better margins than competitors. Think of us like VMWare for GPUs, monetized with a cloud platform.
4-person team, $4.5M raised, In-person in SF.

We are growing ~100% month over month. Our core business is profitable and we are hiring quickly.
If building a ChatGPT wrapper or selling out to a hedge fund makes you shudder, there’s another option; solving hard systems problems at a high-potential startup at the beginning of an (extremely) steep growth curve.

Role

You'll work on the C++ core of our virtualization stack: performance optimization, systems debugging, and research into oversubscription, checkpointing, and related problems.
You will spend your days bouncing between the weeds of complex, performance-critical systems in production, and implementing customer-facing product improvements. This work is not easy - but if you’re the right candidate, this is a feature, not a bug.

Core technical skills:

  • Top 0.1% C++ ability
  • Experience optimizing NIC/GPU performance
  • Deep understanding of low-level networking, compilers, and similar systems
  • Experience in latency-sensitive environments

Must haves:

  • You’ve got the dog in you: you will own your work and be responsible for production systems from day 1
  • High speed-to-output
  • Willingness to assume a senior leadership role as we scale
  • Strong communication skills under pressure

Preferred

  • CS Bachelor’s degree from top 50 US university, 3.5+ GPA
  • 1+ year of experience at a trading firm (Citadel, Jane Street, etc.), hardware company (NVIDIA, SambaNova), systems research or similar

Logistics

  • You'll report to Co-founder/CTO Brian (ex-Citadel quant dev)
  • This role is full-time, in-person in SF
  • 6 days a week in-office; we understand this is asking a lot; we find in-person work lets us learn more and build a better product.
