About the role
We are looking for a Founding AI Infrastructure Engineer to build Pluto’s compute platform from the ground up.
This person will own the technical backbone of Pluto’s compute business: customer-facing APIs, provider integrations, provisioning workflows, cluster lifecycle management, billing/metering infrastructure, and the internal tools needed to scale beyond manual brokerage.
You will work directly with the founders to transform messy, real-world compute procurement into clean software abstractions. The goal is to let customers request, launch, manage, and pay for GPU clusters through Pluto, while Pluto handles routing, provisioning, and orchestration across underlying neoclouds.
This is a deeply technical, high-ownership role for someone who wants to build core infrastructure at the intersection of AI, cloud, marketplaces, and financial infrastructure.
What You’ll Do
- Design and build Pluto’s customer-facing compute API for provisioning and managing GPU clusters
- Build control-plane systems for cluster orchestration, lifecycle management, and state tracking
- Integrate with neoclouds, GPU providers, and infrastructure partners through APIs, Kubernetes, VMs, bare metal, and manual/semi-automated workflows
- Create provider abstraction layers that normalize fragmented infrastructure into a unified Pluto resource model
- Build internal tooling to replace manual brokerage workflows with repeatable, scalable software systems
- Develop metering and usage-tracking systems for GPU-hours, storage, networking, and customer billing
- Build systems for capacity discovery, quoting, reservations, and provider routing
- Work closely with customers to understand how AI teams want to launch, manage, and scale compute
- Improve reliability, observability, and operational visibility across provisioned clusters
- Define clean interfaces between Pluto, customers, and underlying compute providers
