This is a VC-funded startup that positions itself as a decentralized alternative to TogetherAI. The platform operates as a decentralized network, featuring its own token system, and serves as a marketplace where both companies and individuals possessing GPU resources can participate. This structure allows users to develop AI models independently of the major cloud service providers like AWS, Azure, and GCP. By doing so, they offer a more censorship-resistant and significantly less expensive option for AI training, typically reducing costs by 60% to 70%.2 to 3 days in office (Hybrid)Position Summary:We are seeking a highly skilled Mid to Senior Level Distributed Systems or Infrastructure-focused Engineer to join our dynamic team.
