Founding GPU Engineer

Overview

As Founding GPU Engineer, you will architect and optimize CUDA-based software for data center AI workloads. You’ll connect GPU performance with energy availability and grid signals, enabling efficient, scalable compute at scale. You’ll work across low-level kernels to system-level infrastructure with cross-functional teams. This role offers a chance to shape a mission-driven energy and AI platform with real-world impact. You help drive performance and energy efficiency at the physics of data centers.
