Founding AI Rust Engineer

Location: Remote (Seattle/Denver/Boulder metros only) Type: Full-time We're tackling one of the biggest challenges in tech right now: energy is the #1 constraint stopping new datacenters from being built. As AI grows exponentially, we're hitting a literal power wall. We're a VC-backed early-stage startup building optimization tools that make AI, HPC, and datacenter workloads dramatically more energy-efficient.

Basically, we help companies maximize revenue per kilowatt when every watt counts. We're looking for 2 experienced founding engineers to help build our core technology from the ground up and work directly with our first customers. Architect critical infrastructure for datacenter optimization Write lots of Rust and Python (we use both heavily) Design cutting-edge AI-led optimization systems Build products that directly affect customers' bottom lines Help us win our first customers and shape the product Contribute to marketing materials and company direction We're Looking For Someone Who Has 5-10+ years of software development experience Actually enjoys working directly with customers Understands LLM and AI infrastructure challenges Practical Details We're remote-first but meet regularly in Seattle/Denver areas Competitive salary ($180k-$220k) with meaningful equity We can't offer visa sponsorship at this time You'd be engineer #3 or #4 on the team Why This Matters This isn't just another AI infrastructure role.

You'd be working on technology that literally determines how much AI progress we can make within our planet's energy constraints. The work you do here will directly enable the next generation of AI applications.
