Systems Engineer (Part-Time)

Company description

Thunder is a Y-Combinator backed seed-funded startup, creating technology to virtualize GPUs over TCP. This software makes GPUs over 5x cheaper (and improves GPU utilization by 5x+) by allowing cloud instances to share a pool of GPUs rather than each having a dedicated GPU.
