About Andromeda
Andromeda Cluster was founded by Nat Friedman and Daniel Gross to give early-stage startups access to the kind of scaled AI infrastructure once reserved only for hyperscalers.
We began with a single managed cluster — but it filled almost instantly. Since then, we’ve been quietly building the systems, network, and orchestration layer that makes the world’s AI infrastructure more accessible.
Today, Andromeda works with leading AI labs, data centers, and cloud providers to deliver compute when and where it’s needed most. Our platform routes training and inference jobs across global supply, unlocking flexibility and efficiency in one of the fastest-growing markets on earth.
Our long-term vision is to build the liquidity layer for global AI compute. We are expanding to new frontiers to find the brightest that work in AI infrastructure, research and engineering.
The Opportunity
We're hiring a Compute Trader to accelerate supply and demand matching on our platform. This is an Individual Contributor role reporting to the Head of Infrastructure.
The Infrastructure team sits at the core of our infrastructure. We're responsible for acquiring and facilitating compute resources across the company, working closely with compute providers, sales, and technical teams to match compute supply with demand.
Today we have already established the fundamental layer of capacity with providers. As we scale, we are building the next layer—widening our network and liquidity, deepening the scope of our services, and accelerating our growth.

• Develop a proactive compute strategy informed by market intelligence
• Negotiate cost with suppliers and other vendors
• Create and implement processes around capacity planning
What We're Looking For
• 2+ years in cloud sales, GPUs, data centers, or a related field
• Existing network of contacts in the compute market (providers, brokers, or buyers)
• Deep understanding of the GPU compute market—what drives supply and demand
• Strong written and verbal communication across technical and commercial stakeholders
• Sound judgment in decisions that directly impact revenue and cost
• Comfortable operating in ambiguity
• Self-directed and energetic, able to operate autonomously while collaborating
cross-functionally
• Bias toward action in a fast-paced environment
Why You'll Love It Here
Impact: Be in a critical team unlocking revenue for the wider company
Real business: Meaningful revenue, complex transactions, and tangible impact
