Venice is hiring a Community Manager. 🚀
The Republic is expanding. We need someone to run the Piazza, own our presence across Discord, X, Reddit, and wherever the fleet sails next.
Curate the vibe. Run the calendar of events. Build the feedback loop between citizens and the sailors.
If you know someone worthy of the guild, send them our way.

Venice is going vertical. We're standing up B300 GPU clusters in our own data centers and we need a Venetian who lives at the intersection of CUDA kernels, quantization math, and production inference at scale.
If you've squeezed @vllm_project or @sgl_project past their limits, profiled with Nsight, shipped tensor-parallel multi-node configs, and want to do it all in service of privacy-first AI infrastructure for millions of users, this is your call.
Come build the Port City of AI with us.

This is our foundation thesis for @AskVenice.
A world in which a handful of tech companies become arbiters for acceptable speech is not an acceptable world.

GPUs: on the way 🔥
Data centers: deploying...
We need a Senior Network Infrastructure Engineer to wire it all together. Cloud, on-prem, Kubernetes, security.
Come build the backbone of private AI.
