About the role

  • Reporting to the VP of Operations, you'll be responsible for infrastructure, security, systems operations, vendor management, and the team that keeps TensorWave running.
  • This is a rare chance to shape IT at a company moving fast - working alongside engineering teams running GPU clusters across multiple data centers while establishing the systems and security controls that let the business scale without breaking.

Responsibilities
