About the role

Engineering Manager – AI Infrastructure – San Francisco

Salary DOE + Meaningful Equity and Health Insurance

If you're the kind of engineer who enjoys solving the problems that most people avoid, this is worth a look.

We're working with one of the fastest-growing AI infrastructure companies in the world. They've recently closed a funding round and are at a $1B valuation and are building the platform that powers AI agents behind the scenes. This isn't another SaaS platform—it's the infrastructure that enables AI companies to run code, train models and access GPU compute instantly.

They're looking for a hands-on Engineering Manager to lead a team of senior engineers building their serverless GPU platform. You'll still be close to the code while owning the technical direction, helping scale a platform that's pushing the boundaries of virtualization, cloud infrastructure and GPU computing.

You'll be working with technologies like Linux, KVM, QEMU, Go, Rust, C++, GPU virtualization and distributed systems. If you've built cloud infrastructure, virtualization platforms, hyperscale systems or GPU infrastructure before, you'll be working on problems that are genuinely difficult and technically rewarding.

This isn't a role for someone who wants to spend their week in meetings. They're after a player-coach who enjoys leading engineers, making technical decisions and rolling their sleeves up when it matters.

On top of that, you'll be joining a company that's already achieved unicorn status, with a meaningful equity package that gives you the chance to share in the upside as they continue to scale.

If you've built infrastructure at AWS, Google, Microsoft, NVIDIA, CoreWeave, VMware or another high-scale systems business, or you've always wanted to make that move, I'd be keen to chat.

I can also make this sound even more like one of your LinkedIn posts if you want it to read less like a traditional advert and more like you're speaking directly to engineers.
