Inferra | Bare-Metal GPU Infra + Applied AI | San Francisco / REMOTE | Full-time / internship

We're looking for cracked, optimistic engineers/students with good systems taste and high tolerance of ambiguity. We're a team of ~10 in SF, building a GPU neocloud. High agency, lots of freedom, very little boundaries.

Think GPU datacenter bring-up, storage, networking, and designing IaC. Also think optimizing AI workloads, env design, minimizing GPU bring up times, and maximizing hardware fungibility.

Email sasan at inferra.ai with anything relevant. For internships: please tell what you'd like to do in the next ~year, if you could do anything.

Inferra | Founding SRE + Bare-Metal Infra Engineers | San Francisco / REMOTE | Full-time

We're looking for cracked, optimistic engineers/students with good systems taste. We're a team of ~10 in SF, building a GPU neocloud.

The work spans SRE, bare-metal automation, datacenter bring-up, GPU clusters, storage, networking, security, IaC, and Kubernetes-as-a-service. Prior DC, neocloud, and cloud-provider experience is very relevant.

Re:How to Always Win at Dots and Boxes (2015) [video] on Monday September 16, 2019 @12:36PM (#20985829)
I won a dots and box bot competition years ago with this: https://github.com/farnasirim/dots-and-lines-box. You can try it out in the terminal as easy as `g++ decision.cpp && ./a.out` and try the technique in the video in a 4x4 instance of the game against the bot. It plays fine in general, but I had not heard about the trick for the 4x4 case (outlined in the video) back then, so it doesn't support it.
