Thunder Compute is building the VMware for GPUs, a virtualization layer that turns GPUs into network resources. This role focuses on supporting founders in operating and scaling the company, working across strategy, operations, recruiting, finance, sales, partnerships, and company-building. You will tackle pressing operational challenges, turning founder discussions into clear plans and resolving problems before they become blockers. The work requires bouncing between high-level strategy and detailed execution in a fast-paced environment.

Responsibilities

• Build and maintain company-wide operating processes, goals, and reporting.
• Drive recruiting processes from sourcing strategy through offer close and onboarding.
• Prepare analyses and materials for board meetings, investors, customers, and strategic partners.
• Coordinate complex customer deployments and ensure commitments are completed on time.
• Evaluate strategic opportunities, partnerships, markets, and new business initiatives.
• Own financial models, budgets, vendor decisions, and operational planning.
• Turn founder discussions into clear plans, owners, timelines, and deliverables.
• Identify problems before they become blockers and ensure they are resolved.
• Take on important projects that do not yet have an obvious owner.

Requirements

• Exceptional organizational ability.
• Strong analytical judgment.
• High work ethic.
• Extreme attention to detail.
• Ability to move quickly while maintaining a high standard of execution.
• Exceptional organization and project-management ability.
• Strong analytical reasoning and structured problem-solving.
• Clear, concise written and verbal communication.
• Ability to quickly understand technical products and communicate effectively with engineers, customers, and investors.
• Strong judgment about prioritization, tradeoffs, and when to escalate an issue.
• Ability to manage multiple complex workstreams without losing track of details.
• Comfort working with financial models, business analyses, and quantitative information.
• Strong work ethic and the ability to independently push a project from an ambiguous starting point through 100% completion under tight deadlines.
• Attention to detail and the ability to produce accurate, polished work without significant oversight.
• Strong ownership over outcomes rather than only assigned tasks.
• Ability to create structure where no established process, playbook, or obvious owner exists.
• Willingness to work across strategic projects and highly detailed operational execution.
• Ability to communicate directly and professionally with customers, candidates, investors, vendors, and other external stakeholders.
• Enough technical curiosity to understand our product, industry, and customers, although no coding experience is required.

About the Company

• Thunder Compute is building the VMware for GPUs.
• We have raised over $17M from Matrix Partners, Y Combinator, and leading angels from CoreWeave, Microsoft, Cognition, and Anthropic.
• Deployed GPU fleets are currently only 5–20% utilized. Existing solutions generally optimize individual workloads, but they do not address the underlying infrastructure problem.
• We are building a general-purpose virtualization layer that turns GPUs into network resources that can be pooled and dynamically allocated across a data center.
• Our technology allows companies to run more workloads on the GPU infrastructure they already own, without requiring developers to modify their applications.
• We are a small, highly technical team building a new infrastructure layer for GPU computing.
