Job Description

Solutions Architect – San Francisco Compute Company

San Francisco Compute Company is redefining how organizations access and trade computing power. Our mission is to make compute resources function as a true global commodity—simple to buy, sell, and scale in real time. By creating a trading marketplace for compute contracts, we connect startups, data centers, and traders in a way that ensures every unit of compute power is used efficiently and profitably.

When businesses require high-performance computing for tasks ranging from AI research to data analysis, our marketplace offers instant access to capacity at market rates. Providers can also benefit by filling idle clusters through speculative trading. In short, we are building the digital infrastructure that will make compute as accessible and liquid as any other traded resource.
