Company spotlight: TensorWave
TensorWave is all about the infrastructure that underlies AI. So, what does that mean? For them it means building the world’s first direct liquid-cooled and largest AMD GPU training cluster, purpose-built for next-gen AI workloads.
I know, right? Mind. Blown.
They’re looking for:
Networking engineers: Architect high-bandwidth, low-latency interconnects across thousands of AMD GPUs. You’ll solve distributed systems challenges most only read about.
DevOps engineers: From bare metal to production, you’ll help orchestrate a GPU-native cloud built specifically for AI training and inference.
Cloud engineers: We’re not retro-fitting a traditional cloud. We’re building a GPU-native cloud platform from the ground up.
Co-founder and COO Piotr Tomasik gave me these exclusive tips for getting noticed:
Show, don’t just tell. GitHub repos, infrastructure diagrams, war stories in a blog post, etc. “I gravitate towards candidates that tell me who they are and what they’re all about way more than a resume.”
Break the hyperscaler mindset. “We’re not looking for people to babysit cloud instances. We want engineers who are curious, hands-on, and ready to rethink what’s possible.”
Be proactive. “Some of our best hires didn’t come through job boards. If something resonates, email me at piotr@tensorwave.com or drop a note on X.”

Brain expansion moment, incoming:
🤑 Meta is reportedly offering $100 million to leading researchers in the AI field. That’s more than Tim Cook’s take-home pay. And more than Bob Iger’s and Andy Jassy’s take-home pay combined. My feelings on this are mixed.

Great news for job seekers: Recruiting software company Greenhouse now lets job applicants signal their enthusiasm to recruiting teams!
With the new tool, applicants can flag one job per month as their “dream job.” A signal that recruiting teams can see and factor into their sourcing decisions. With so many great candidates pitching their hats in the ring, it’s nice to have a new way to stand out.
Think of it like applying early admission to college, or the SuperSwipe on Bumble.
Tip tease
Next week’s newsletter will feature job-searching tips from Steve Bartel, CEO and founder of the massive recruitment platform Gem (which boasts customers like Robinhood, Figma, Reddit, and DoorDash).
Not only has Steve built a hugely successful company, he’s also an expert in all things recruiting.
Here’s a little preview of what he told me when I asked about hiring the best tech talent in the early days of Gem:
The way we hired at Gem was very different from the profile we looked for at a place like Dropbox, for example, where I had the first five years of my career. We were looking for specialists, people that could help scale infrastructure for hundreds of millions of users. But for Gem - and I think this is true of a lot of early-stage startups - a lot of the biggest challenge is, how do you build a great product that people want versus the hard infrastructure challenges.
