About Us
Tutte le competenze, le qualifiche e l'esperienza necessarie per un candidato di successo sono elencate nella seguente descrizione.
We are an early-stage technology company operating at the intersection of Energy and AI infrastructure , focused on developing a new generation of efficient and scalable computing infrastructure.
Our approach combines distributed computing, modular infrastructure and energy efficiency to support the rapidly growing demand for AI and high-performance computing.
The company is developing a new model for deploying compute capacity in a flexible and scalable way, with a strong focus on efficiency, sustainability, reliability and responsible infrastructure development .
This is an opportunity to join a growing team at an early stage and contribute directly to the development of a new infrastructure platform, working at the intersection of power, data centers and advanced computing .
Position Type
Part of the Engineering team, reporting to the Lead Network Engineer (to the CTO until that role is filled)
Role Overview
We are seeking a Datacenter & HPC Fabric Engineer to design, build, and tune the high-performance network inside the Power & Compute Pod, our self-contained, outdoor-deployable AI/HPC compute system: the fabric connecting GPUs, servers, and storage, and its physical integration into the unit. You will start from a working 100GbE lab fabric and turn it into a production design; the current hardware and protocols are starting points that you are expected to challenge.
What You Will Deliver
This is a high-impact, hands-on role: your fabric will ship in every unit we deploy.
In your first year:
You will deliver a working, benchmarked intra-pod fabric for our first prototype,
tuned for GPU and storage traffic, then industrialize it: configuration as code, documented performance, and cabling and BOM ready for series production.
Key Responsibilities
-
- Design and build the intra-pod fabric, and select switches, NICs, optics, and cabling.
- Tune the fabric for low-latency, high-throughput GPU and storage traffic, and benchmark it.
- Make the network capacity available to GPU workloads and virtual machines with minimal overhead.
- Design the storage and out-of-band management networks.
- Work with electrical and mechanical engineers on port layout, cabling, and serviceability.
- Produce port maps, cabling and BOM inputs, and test reports.
Requirements
-
- Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Networking, or equivalent field
- 3-8 years of network engineering in datacenter, HPC, or cloud environments
- Hands-on experience designing, building, and operating datacenter fabrics
- Exposure to performance-sensitive networking (HPC, AI/GPU, or storage), or a demonstrated ability to ramp up quickly
- Comfort with hands-on lab and physical work, from server networking to racking and cabling
- English speaking
Nice to Have
-
- Experience building or operating GPU/AI or HPC clusters
- Hands-on RDMA tuning (e.g. RoCEv2 or InfiniBand) or SmartNICs/DPUs
- Experience with open or whitebox networking
- Prior experience at a hardware or infrastructure startup or scale-up
Salary Expectation
RAL 40.000€ - 85.000€ + equity (The compensation package will be determined based on the candidate’s seniority, experience, and level of expertise.)
