About

Compute is a commodity. We think people should buy it like one.

Startups shouldn’t be forced to buy a year’s worth of compute time in order to get market rate and compute providers shouldn’t go bankrupt because they can’t fully book their clusters.

At SF Compute, our goal is to solve this issue the same way this was solved for every other commodity — by building a venue where compute contracts are traded in real-time and by bringing a new kind of participant into the supply chain, traders.

If we succeed, buyers will be able to get a good price for any order, whether it’s 32 H100s for a month or 8,000 H100s for an hour, and sellers will instantly book out their clusters because traders will speculatively buy them, for a spread. Every FLOP will flow through us somewhere in the supply chain. What Brent is for oil, we will be for compute.

About The Role

As a systems software engineer, you’ll be contributing to our UEFI bare-metal infrastructure, our VM platform, and other low level components of SFC.

About You

• You have built fault tolerant distributed systems before that can manage hardware resources at scale
• You have experience writing Kubernetes operators and controllers
• You’ve worked with GPU clusters (L40, A100, H100, MI300x, MI350x, etc.)
• You appreciate and value good documentation
  
  

Some Nice to Haves

• Experience with Go or Rust (3+ years)
• Experience with high performance storage systems (WEKA, VAST, Ceph, etc.)
