Software Engineer Product at The San Francisco Compute Company

Were building the company which will de-risk the largest infrastructure build-out in history.When people finance GPU clusters the datacenters housing them and the infrastructure powering them they need offtake - meaning someone has signed a contract to lease the cluster for a period of time before its even built.Financing a GPU cluster is inherently risky since margins are thin and volumes are huge. Lenders dont want to take on the risk that cluster developers cant repay their loan and cluster developers really dont want to risk not selling their cluster. As a result risk is offloaded to the customer using fixed-price long-term contracts.If you dont mitigate this customer risk theres a bubble. This isnt SaaS anymore - application layer companies sign multi-year contracts for computer and inference but sell to customers on monthly subscriptions. If you mess up a purchase its game over: a minor shift in your revenue growth rate might mean the difference between profit or bankruptcy. But what if companies could exit their contract by selling it back to the marketOtherwise as AI scales compute only becomes available to folks who can effectively take on that risk. A 2-person startup in a San Francisco Victorian cant realistically sign a 5-year take or pay contract on $100m supercomputers. But they may be able to buy the month of liquidity that someone else sold back.So thats what we make: a liquid market for GPU offtake.About the RoleAs a Product Engineer at SFC youll build products which together de-risk the largest infrastructure buildout in history.Youll work cross-functionally to build complex yet tasteful user interfaces forA public cloud provisioning access to billion-dollar supercomputers.An entirely new type of compute market and associated financial products.The worlds cheapest trillion-token inference.ResponsibilitiesOwn new user-facing features across our public cloud market and other productsEnsure an exceptional user experience through thoughtful UI/UX design leveraging frameworks like React and .Interact with developers at leading AI startups and labs to implement features from idea to production which directly address their needsCollaborate closely with systems engineers trading engineers GTM finance etc to achieve successful business outcomesWhen necessary make measured technical tradeoffs - you know when to ship fast and break things vs when to code with care.You may be a good fit if you:Have excellent taste and high attention to detail in crafting user experiencesAre an expert in React development or equivalent including modern patterns (hooks context suspense) and server/client runtime component structureHave experience independently shipping end-to-end products in fast-paced high-ownership environmentsPossess strong verbal and written communications skillsDeeply emphasize with our end customers and have immense drive to meet their needs by building the best product possibleBonus points if you:Have strong aesthetic tasteHave previously built public cloud features for developers (ex: SSH key management RBAC)Have built or maintained a CLI or other developer toolsHave worked with alternative JavaScript runtimes like Bun and DenoBenefitsGenerous equity grantTeam members are offered a competitive salary along with equity in the companyVisa SponsorshipsYes we sponsor visas and work permitsRetirement matchingWe match 401(k) plans up to 4%Medical dental & visionWe offer competitive medical dental vision insurance for employees and dependents and cover 100% of premiumsTime offWe offer unlimited paid time off as well as 10 observed holidaysParental leaveWe offer biological adoptive and foster parents paid time off to spend quality time with familyDaily lunchWe cover lunch daily for employeesUnlimited office book budgetYou can buy as many books for the office as you wantThe San Francisco Compute Company is committed to maintaining a workplace free from discrimination and harassment.We make employment decisions based on business needs job requirements and individual qualifications without regard to race color religion belief national origin social or ethical origin age physical mental or sensory disability sexual orientation gender identity or expression marital status civil union or domestic partnership status past or present military service HIV status family medical history or genetic information family or parental status including pregnancy or any other status protected by law.We welcome the opportunity to consider qualified applicants with prior arrest or conviction records.
