Hiring 4 full-time Software Engineers for low-level C++ systems work (HFT skillset), reporting to the CTO, team ex-Citadel, ex-Aquatic, ex-Bain
We're a cloud provider using GPU virtualization software to arbitrage GPU prices.
To our customers, we are a direct substitute for Runpod, Lambda, Coreweave, etc. with a simple UX and low prices.
Our advantage is we have spent 3 years bringing research technology to market which lets us use each GPU more efficiently than competitors. We can buy GPU compute, make it more efficient, and resell it at 60%+ profit margins.
We recently closed ~$4.5M of funding to triple our team size with a focus on recruiting the world's best low-level talent.
If you're cracked at building C++ systems software, on noncompete and bored, or looking to do something more meaningful than creating liquidity (you can tell most of our team is from HFT), reach out.
To apply: email met at carl@thundercompute.com and mention HN. I read every email.

Our advantage is software - we have spent 3 years bringing research technology to market which lets us use each GPU more efficiently than competitors. At the same time, our software focus lets us provide a high-quality, industry-leading UX.
In a space where customers shop around and try several providers, having a better product at lower prices has let us quickly expand.
We recently closed ~$4.5M of funding to triple our team size and continue building best-in-class software.
If you're cracked at building C++ systems software (most of our team came from HFT) or kubernetes infrastructure, reach out.

Thunder Compute is a YC-backed seed stage startup building the world's cheapest GPU cloud. We have built a proprietary virtualization stack from scratch that improves GPU utilization by 5x.
We are hiring our fourth team member, a C++ developer with a talent for systems thinking and experience optimizing performance of latency-sensitive production systems. This is a rare opportunity to work on hard, research-esque systems problems in a startup setting. The role:
For anyone looking to experiment with these models who doesn't have 210GB of VRAM on tap-we're working as quickly as we can to get cheap access to 4x80GB A100 instances running at thundercompute.com (aiming for sub-$5/hr). For quantized versions, we have cheaper 1-2 GPU nodes available today. If you're interested, join our Discord for updates: https://discord.com/invite/nwuETS9jJK
This is definitely an interesting thought experiment, however in practice our system is closer to AWS than a botnet, as the GPUs are not distributed. This technology does lend itself to some interesting applications with creating very flexible clusters within data centers that we are exploring.
