  • Database Expertise : Comfortable designing schemas and queries for large-scale data systems (PostgreSQL )
  • Bonus points for :

  • Experience with GPU security, virtualization, or zero-trust compute isolation
  • Prior startup experience or end-to-end product ownership
  • Key Responsibilities

  • Improve the backend systems that power Vast.ai's compute marketplace
  • Integrate GPU provider onboarding, usage tracking, billing, and orchestration APIs
  • Develop scalable infrastructure for workload scheduling and resource management
  • Optimize pricing and marketplace logic for efficiency and transparency
  • Benchmark, profile, and harden systems for performance, reliability, and fault tolerance
  • Collaborate with product and infrastructure teams to shape the future of decentralized compute
  • Interview Process (≈ 1 week)

    After submitting your application, our technical team reviews your credentials. If selected, you'll proceed through the following stages :

  • 15 min – Initial screening with member of your future team (virtual)
  • 40 min – Systems and architectures (virtual)
  • 1 hour – LLM-assisted coding assessment (virtual)
  • 2 hours – Meet and greet with coding assessment (on-site)
  • Annual Salary Range
