Mithril builds AI infrastructure that makes GPU computing more accessible and affordable for enterprises, startups, and research organizations. The company partners with groups such as LG AI Research, Saronic, and the Broad Institute. Founded by leaders with backgrounds at Google DeepMind and Stanford, Mithril has secured $80 million across seed and Series A rounds, with backing from Sequoia Capital and Lightspeed Venture Partners. Over the past year, platform revenue has grown more than sixfold. Fast Company named Mithril the 8th Most Innovative Company in Artificial Intelligence for 2026. Mithril is moving from bare-metal operations to a cloud-native, multi-provider platform built around a flexible auction model. This is a foundational stage for the company, offering engineers a chance to shape the next generation of its platform. Role overview The Software Engineer - Technical Staff Member (Consumption Team) works across Mithril's three main engineering domains: Consumption (developer-facing product, billing, and API surface), Platform (orchestration and marketplace engine), and Supply (cloud provider integrations and capacity management). Engineers in this role take ownership of key components, building features that drive revenue and support essential customer operations. What you will do Develop backend systems and marketplace logic that support GPU capacity management and customer-facing interfaces. Deliver features that directly impact how customers reserve and consume GPU resources. Work on systems that handle financial transactions, spot auctions, reservation pricing, and allocation of capacity across a range of providers. Gain insight into architectural decisions that will influence Mithril's scalability and product direction. What makes this role different This position bridges both systems and product engineering. Unlike many early-stage infrastructure roles that focus on a single area, this team builds the orchestration engine managing GPU capacity across providers and also enhances the interfaces developers use to interact with the platform. The work involves real-world market dynamics and direct impact on customer workloads and financial flows. For those interested in the mechanics of GPU infrastructure markets and the systems that support them, this role offers hands-on experience and broad technical exposure.

Mithril develops AI infrastructure aimed at making GPU computing more accessible and affordable for enterprises, AI startups, and researchers. Clients include LG AI Research, Saronic, and the Broad Institute. The company was founded by a former Google DeepMind research scientist and a Stanford CS PhD. Mithril has secured $80M in seed and Series A funding from Sequoia Capital and Lightspeed Venture Partners. Over the past year, platform revenue has grown more than sixfold. Fast Company recognized Mithril as the 8th Most Innovative Company in Artificial Intelligence for 2026. The engineering team at Mithril is small, with each member making a significant impact. This Site Reliability Engineer (SRE) position is a foundational role focused on shaping how the platform scales across a multi-cloud environment. Role overview This SRE will play a central role in keeping Mithril's global GPU orchestration platform stable and high-performing. The responsibilities extend beyond day-to-day maintenance. The primary focus is on designing and building automation, observability, and tooling to help manage advanced compute resources across multiple cloud providers. The goal is to ensure customers have fast and dependable access to infrastructure. Collaboration with Mithril's founding team is central to this job. The SRE will help set service level objectives (SLOs), orchestrate capacity, and make influential infrastructure decisions, gaining visibility into both technical and commercial aspects of the business. What makes this SRE role unique This position differs from many early-stage SRE roles that focus mainly on on-call rotations and incident response. Here, the emphasis is on building infrastructure that actively shapes Mithril's marketplace. The systems developed will determine how supply is sourced, allocated, and monitored across providers, directly affecting customer experience and company revenue. The role offers genuine ownership, a fast feedback loop with leadership, and the opportunity to define how infrastructure engineering evolves as Mithril grows. Core responsibilities About 70–75% of the work centers on platform reliability and infrastructure automation. Reliability & SLOs Implement and manage service level indicators (SLIs) and service level objectives (SLOs) for Mithril's API layer and internal orchestration services to maintain high reliability and performance.
