You are ambitious and always looking for ways to improve. We operate nearly $1B worth of assets, and the opportunity for impact is limitless. This role will give you the most responsibilities you’ve ever had and hold you to higher standards than other companies you’ve worked at. Expect to do the best and most impactful work of your career at Voltage Park.

You’re focused on impact and don’t get lost in the weeds on details that don’t matter. You’re excited to work on whatever solves the biggest customer problems, not just the coolest technical challenges. You understand when making 80/20 trade-offs is the right thing to do and never compromise on your high standards when making those tradeoffs.

You take ownership of your initiatives. When you say you'll do something, you get it done without anyone having to check-in on you. You ship fully baked features end-to-end. You’re accountable for the deadlines you set, and you figure out a solution if something unexpected occurs.

What the Team is Saying
What We Do
The market for cutting-edge ML compute is broken. Startups, researchers and even big AI labs are scrambling to buy or rent access to the latest chips for ML training. But demand far outstrips supply, and what’s available is only accessible to the well-resourced, placing an artificial damper on innovation.
To solve this challenge, we've launched Voltage Park, and we’re on a mission to make machine learning infrastructure accessible to all, from large enterprises and research universities, to seed-stage startups and nonprofits.
With around 24,000 NVIDIA H100 GPUs, the Voltage Park cloud is one of the most powerful collections of cutting-edge ML compute in the world. Our clusters consist of 80GB H100 SXM5 GPUs fully interconnected with 3.2T InfiniBand. We currently offer bare-metal access for large-scale users that need peak performance. We will add support for short-term leases and hourly billing soon as we spin up our infrastructure along with support for familiar tools like Slurm, Kubernetes, and Mosaic for easy integration into existing training frameworks.
Why Work With Us
You’ll play a pivotal role as a member of the founding team that will change the face of machine learning infrastructure. As an early hire, you’ll have outsize influence in defining the company’s culture and ensuring mission success.
