Sonic Summary

info
  • Thunder Compute is seeking a cloud infrastructure engineer to work on their GoLang backbone for a GPU cloud platform.
  • The role requires experience with GoLang, Kubernetes, and owning production systems, along with strong problem-solving and communication skills.
  • Candidates should have a Bachelor's degree, preferably from a top 50 US university with a GPA of 3.5 or higher, and experience in building high-stakes production infrastructure.
  • The position offers a generous salary and equity, with a full-time commitment in their San Francisco office.
  • Ideal candidates should be self-driven, detail-oriented, and ready to take on leadership potential as the company scales.

Company

Thunder Compute is the lowest cost, easiest GPU cloud for developers. We’re a 4-person team with $4.5M raised from top tier investors including Y Combinator and Matrix Partners.

There are two parts to our company. 1) we are a cloud platform where customers can rent GPUs just like they would from Coreweave, Lambda, AWS, etc., and 2) we are building systems software to use GPUs more efficiently than these competitors.

Role

As a cloud infrastructure engineer, you will work on the GoLang backbone for our cloud platform. Your days will be a mix of working to solve problems for customers and building resilient, stable production infrastructure. This is a fast-paced role where you are expected to learn quickly; we will have you jump in from day one.

Our infrastructure is majority GoLang. We use a non-standard Kubernetes deployment as a form of hypervisor, with Go scripting for controls and auxiliary services for everything from storage to billing to networking.

If you worked at a large company and felt restricted working on a single piece of a huge machine, look no further. At Thunder Compute you will work on complicated production infrastructure, learning quickly while interfacing with customers and owning broad scope across the platform.

Responsibilities

Core technical skills:

  • GoLang, some Python and Next.js

  • Kubernetes (unconventional deployment)

  • Experience owning production systems

  • Ability to quickly solve problems for clients

Must haves:

  • Fast speed to output, with high attention to detail

  • Potential for senior leadership as we scale

  • Strong communication skills

  • Self-driven (you'll own your work from day 1)

Preferred:

  • CS degree from top 50 US university, 3.5+ GPA (Bachelor's required)

  • Experience building high-stakes production infrastructure for a trading firm or cloud provider

Logistics

  • Full-time, generous salary + equity.

  • This role is in-person in our San Francisco office.

  • You will report to Co-founder/CTO Brian (ex-Citadel quant dev).
