About Perimeter Compute

Co-founded by Montauk Capital, Perimeter Compute is a pre-seed venture specialized in modular, metro-edge AI capabilities. By leveraging existing infrastructure for inference deployment, Perimeter provides low-latency, SLA-guaranteed performance across diverse GPU SKUs and colocation environments. Our technology intelligently routes traffic based on demand proximity and real-world network limitations, bypassing the heavy power and infrastructure requirements of traditional hyperscalers. Currently initiating operations with pilot nodes in NYC, we are executing a city-by-city expansion strategy with plans for a broader multi-metro rollout.

About the Role

We’re building the automation, orchestration, and monitoring layer that unifies disparate metro edge GPU nodes into a single software-managed compute platform. You’ll own the data center operations as we build and scale across sites and metros.

What You’ll Bring

Experience operating multiple data centers at neoclouds or hyperscalers and a passion for building a new way of generating and maximizing compute.
