Software Engineer - Product

We're building the company which will de-risk the largest infrastructure build‑out in history. When people finance GPU clusters, the datacenters housing them, and the infrastructure powering them, they need “offtake” – meaning someone has signed a contract to lease the cluster for a period of time before it’s even built. Financing a GPU cluster is inherently risky, since margins are thin and volumes are huge. Lenders don't want to take on the risk that cluster developers can't repay their loan, and cluster developers really don't want to risk not selling their cluster. As a result, risk is offloaded to the customer using fixed‑price, long‑term contracts. If you don't mitigate this customer risk, there’s a bubble. This isn’t SaaS anymore – application‑layer companies sign multi‑year contracts for compute and inference, but sell to customers on monthly subscriptions. If you mess up a purchase, it’s game over: a minor shift in your revenue growth rate might mean the difference between profit or bankruptcy. But what if companies could exit their contract by selling it back to the market? As AI scales, compute only becomes available to folks who can effectively take on that risk. A two‑person startup in a San Francisco Victorian can’t realistically sign a five‑year take‑or‑pay contract on a $100 million super‑computer. But they may be able to buy the month of liquidity that someone else sold back.
