Anyone we hire will share in the challenges and rewards of a rapidly developing company. Ideal candidates must be comfortable advancing projects with minimal oversight, synthesizing discrete tasks from cross-team discussions, and thoroughly advocating their ideas. Because our team is entirely remote, new hires will also be expected to keep themselves on task and optimize their personal workflows.
Though we support scheduling flexibility, we ask new hires to commit to a core workday that allows for collaboration with teammates operating within the UTC-05:00 (EST) and UTC-09:00 (AKST) time zones. You must work in a time zone in or between the EST and AKST times zones. Only open to U.S. Citizens and U.S. Permanent Resident Card holders.
The Salad desktop application allows gamers and everyday webizens to share latent compute resources from their idle PCs—like processing cycles, storage, or bandwidth—on a distributed network called “The Kitchen,” where they can contribute to advanced computing tasks and power their passions with meaningful rewards. Every year, Salad Chefs claim over 3 million games, gift cards, subscriptions, and other digital rewards using value earned on Salad.
With their help, our network has surpassed some of the world’s top supercomputers with peaks of 80 pFLOPS and counting! Since our founding in 2018, the Salad community has contributed over 8,000 years of latent processing cycles to distributed computing networks, and donated thousands to environmental charities like #TeamTrees and 1% for the Planet. Now we’re activating that robust supply of shared resources to create a decentralized and entirely people-powered cloud computing platform.
By 2025, the SaladCloud platform will offer affordable, workload-agnostic cloud computing infrastructure for virtually any use case. Whether it’s bootstrapping VPN services, spinning up P2P gaming networks, securely distributing 3D rendering jobs to thousands of anonymous nodes, or seeding new blockchains (“decentralization-as-a-service”), there’s nothing the Salad Kitchen can’t cook up.
