About Positron AI
What is Positron AI?
Positron builds purpose-built generative-AI inference hardware — silicon and appliances promising "the highest performance, lowest power, and best TCO for Transformer model inference at any scale", served through an OpenAI-compatible endpoint. Founded in 2023 in Reno, Nevada, it has raised $305M (a February 2026 Series B of $230M at a $1B+ valuation, co-led by Arena and Jump Trading, with strategic backing from QIA, Arm and Helena), and ships its ATLAS inference appliance today with the TITAN system and ASIMOV chip on the 2027 roadmap.
Where will I work?
From home: Positron is remote-first with a company-provided computer and home-office setup, its 21 openings posted Remote-US across ASIC design, verification, software and go-to-market.
What is the Positron team like?
Around 90 silicon and systems engineers taking the boldest hardware bet there is — challenging Nvidia on inference economics — with the discipline of DFT engineers and the urgency of a funded-through-2027 roadmap.
Work-Life Balance
Every one of its 21 live postings carries the same sentence, verbatim: "Unlimited paid time off — we encourage everyone to truly unplug and recharge", alongside 13 paid company holidays. In an industry famous for tape-out crunches, writing "truly unplug" into every JD is a commitment worth holding them to — ask how it survives tape-out season.

How we verified this listing
All twenty-one live postings on Positron's own Rippling board carried the identical time-off block when we listed it — a 100% distribution across hardware, software and business roles. Hardware startups earn scrutiny on work-life claims, which is why the uniformity matters: this isn't recruiter copy on one role but the company's standard offer. Review-site ratings were unreachable at add time (all surfaces bot-walled), disclosed as with the entire cohort; the tape-out-season question above is the honest interview follow-up.
