AI DevOps Engineer

SF Bay Area (Hybrid)

Our mission at Parasail is to democratize access to the cloud in order to accelerate the adoption of technology for the benefit of humankind. We are building the platform on which the majority of the world’s demand for cloud meets supply, starting with AI compute.

To meet humanity’s exponential need for cloud compute and storage by creating an exchange for supply to meet demand for cloud compute and storage, consisting of:

  • A platform for developers to access cloud in a flexible, trustworthy, and cost feasible way
  • A marketplace for suppliers to make their capacity available to the demand in a standardized fungible way.

The last 50 years of compute have been driven by Moore’s law, and the next 50 years will be driven by Adam Smith’s Laws of Supply and Demand. In a post-Moore’s laws world, technology gets more expensive with new advances, so it must be democratized and amortized over a larger user base to keep humanity on an exponential path of improvement.

To realize this vision, we are starting with AI compute. AI is at the frontier of new technology capabilities, requiring immense compute that even the public clouds struggle to deliver, and is built by a community that embraces and demands an open, fair, and trustworthy ecosystem.

We are a passionate, collaborative team with backgrounds across big tech, AI startups, cutting edge hardware, and beyond. We believe in following our curiosity, being a team player, and ambitiously pursuing our mission. Our journey is just getting started, and we're looking for people who share our values to join us in solving challenging problems and bringing AI value to all.
