Why it matters

GPUs are the bottleneck. We remove it.

AI teams lose weeks waiting for capacity, fighting quotas and decoding bills. Every server we rack and every second we meter correctly gives some of that time back.

Our mission

Make a whole GPU server as easy to rent as a VM, and as honest to pay for.

How we work

A normal week. Written down.

Four habits shape most weeks here, from the rack floor to the review doc. None of them need a meeting.
  • EU-AMS-1 · Hall B · Rack 07 · U12 sled out
    GIGABYTE G894-ZD3-AAX7
    GPU 5 · reseat and burn-in · 40 minPhoto placeholder

    Hardware you can touch

    We run our own racks. Engineers visit them, pull a sled now and then, and design for the real failure modes.

    Own a system, end to end

    The design doc, the rollout, the dashboard and the page when it breaks. One owner, many reviewers.

FAQ

Asked a lot.

Anything else? The recruiting team reads every message.
Where is the team based?
Most of us live near Amsterdam, Frankfurt or New York, close to our data centers. Engineering roles marked Remote (EU) can be done from any EU country with a CET or EET time zone.
Do you sponsor visas?
For roles in the Netherlands, usually yes, through the highly skilled migrant route. For other countries we decide per role.
What does the interview process look like?
Four steps over about three weeks: an intro call, a technical conversation, a paid work sample and a meeting with the team. You get feedback after every step.
Can I apply for more than one role?
Yes. Pick the one that fits best and mention the others in your note. We would rather move you between pipelines than make you start again.
