Who We Are:

Hyperbolic Labs is on a mission to democratize AI by breaking down the barriers to computing power with our Open-Access AI Cloud. By making better use of idle computing resources across the globe, we offer an innovative GPU marketplace and AI inference service that promise affordability and accessibility for all. As pioneers at the intersection of AI and open-source technology, we believe in an open future where AI innovation is limited only by imagination, not by access to resources. We're looking for forward-thinking individuals who share our passion for making AI universally accessible, secure, and affordable. Join us in building a platform that empowers innovators everywhere to turn their visionary AI projects into reality.

As we prepare for growth with our seed round, backed by industry leaders, our team—led by co-founders with PhDs in AI, Math, and Computer Science—is poised to redefine computing.

As a Backend Engineer at Hyperbolic Labs, you will work with our Product Team and our Full-Stack Engineer to develop the core backend systems and services that power our GPU marketplace and AI inference products. This role requires the candidate to reside in the United States. Team members are expected to work in-person in the San Francisco Bay Area at least 75% of the time.

We are looking for individuals who:

  • Have a passion for building products and tooling.

  • Have strong software engineering skills with a proven track record of independently driving or leading scalable projects.

  • Proficiency in Python and/or TypeScript.

  • Have experience with microservices and architectures, such as pub/sub and messaging queues.

  • Expertise in databases, with a deep understanding of database design, indexing, query optimization, and performance tuning to handle large-scale data efficiently.
