About the Role

Build the inference cloud itself, including the control plane, API, and serving layer, transforming racks into a sellable product. Establish reliability as core infrastructure from day one and solve the technical challenge of managing a heterogeneous fleet of GPUs and ASICs for optimal inference performance.

Responsibilities

  • Build and own the control plane, including routing, model placement, and scheduling across a mixed ASIC/GPU pool.
  • Build the API and serving layer to expose rack capacity as a sellable product.
  • Build in reliability and observability from day one.
  • Scale the platform ahead of the demand curve.
  • Partner closely with data center deployment and model bring-up teams.
  • Act as a founding technical voice on platform architecture.

Requirements

  • Strong systems engineering background on cloud control planes/serving infra at scale.
  • Comfort being a high-impact individual contributor rather than a manager.
  • Track record of building reliability from scratch.
  • Comfort with hardware heterogeneity and ambiguity.
  • Genuine interest in being an early hire at a small company.

Skills

  • LLM-serving infra experience (vLLM, TGI, Ray Serve, etc.)
  • Experience running non-NVIDIA accelerators (TPUs/ASICs) in production.

About the Company

  • General Compute is the neocloud for alternative chips.
  • We productionize purpose-built inference hardware from various vendors, buying racks, finding data center space, and running it for customers.
  • Our solution offers significantly faster token generation compared to GPU-based competitors.
  • Customers include frontier labs, fast-growing AI application companies, and asset-light clouds.
  • Closed a $15M seed round in May 2026 and a $400M debt facility.
