Founded in 2019, we build an end-to-end platform for developing, training, and deploying AI systems-designed to take ideas from research to production with less friction.\nThrough our merger with Voltage Park, a neocloud and AI Factory, Lightning AI combines developer-first software with cost-efficient, large-scale compute. Teams get the tools they need for experimentation, training, and production inference, with security, observability, and control built in.\nWe serve solo researchers, startups, and large enterprises. Lightning AI operates globally with offices in New York City, San Francisco, Seattle, and London, and is backed by Coatue, Index Ventures, Bain Capital Ventures, and Firstminute.\nThe Way We Work\nThe people who thrive here are builders who move fast, communicate openly, take ownership, and continuously improve themselves, their teams, and our company.

Final offers are based on factors such as experience, skills, geographic location, and role expectations. In addition to base salary, our total rewards package for eligible roles includes a discretionary bonus, a meaningful equity component, and comprehensive benefits.\nThe anticipated annual base salary range for this role is:\n$180,000—$220,000 USD\nBenefits and Perks\nWe offer a comprehensive and competitive benefits package designed to support our employees’ health, well-being, and long-term success:\nComprehensive Health Coverage: Medical, dental, and vision coverage for employees and eligible dependents.\nMeaningful Equity: RSUs that give employees a stake in the company's long-term success.\n Retirement Savings: 401(k) matching (U.S.) and pension contributions (U.K.).\nFlexible Time Off: Unlimited PTO, company holidays, and floating holidays to support work-life balance.\nCompany-Wide Winter Break: Two weeks of company closure each winter to disconnect and recharge.\nPaid Parental & Family Leave: Paid leave to support you and your family through life's important moments.\nProfessional Development: Annual learning and development allowance to support your professional growth.\nWellness Benefits: Wellness and work-from-home stipends to support your physical and mental well-being.\nSabbatical Program: Four weeks of paid sabbatical leave after four years of service.\nFlexible Work: Flexible schedules and a hybrid work model for our office-based teams.\n In-Office Meals: Complimentary meals at our office hubs.\nBenefits may vary by location, team, and role.\nAt Lightning AI, we are committed to fostering an inclusive and diverse workplace.
