Unlock wasted GPU capacity.
Expanse unlocks wasted GPU capacity. We recover idle compute through three capabilities: resource prediction (right-sizing job submissions before they reach the scheduler), optimisation suggestions (code and config changes researchers can apply themselves), and failure prediction (catching jobs that will fail before they consume hours of GPU time).
We’re four engineers. We ran HPC and GPU training workloads at the largest quant funds and national supercomputing centres. We faced this problem first hand and the only fix was to over-provision and burn millions. Ismaeel built the first multimodal HPC resource predictor as research at EPCC (Edinburgh’s Parallel Computing Centre), which beat every published baseline. This is the tool we wish we had.

LinkedInNo applications, no recruiter spam. Just the intro.
A few questions to make sure this role is the right shape for you. Two minutes.
I write the intro, send it to the founder, and handle the back-and-forth.
