About Lyceum

Lyceum is building a user-centric GPU cloud from the ground up. Our mission is to make high-performance computing seamless, accessible, and tailored to the needs of modern AI and ML workloads. We're not just deploying infrastructure, we’re designing and building our own large-scale GPU clusters from scratch. If you've ever wanted to help shape a cloud platform from day one, this is your moment.


The Role: Software Engineering Intern

Join our core product team and help turn complex infra into clear, developer-friendly product surfaces. You’ll contribute to backend and platform features that make “run on GPU” feel instant—across APIs, services, reliability, and observability.


What we are working on

  • APIs for job submission, scheduling, usage & billing
  • Runtime services for images, storage, networking, and identity
  • Telemetry pipelines and data models for product metrics
  • Reliability tooling, rollout systems, and incident response
  • Developer ergonomics: local dev, testing, CI/CD, perf


What We’re Looking For

  • Enrollment in CS, Engineering, Physics/Math, or similar (or equivalent experience)
  • Ownership & urgency - you like to ship, learn, iterate
  • Solid fundamentals in at least one backend language (Python/Go/TypeScript/etc.)
  • Familiarity with APIs, Git, testing, and basic cloud/Linux workflows


Bonus Points

  • Experience with distributed systems, containers, and orchestration
  • Background in observability, cost/usage metering, or security
  • Strong API design instincts and data modeling
  • FastAPI experience for building service endpoints
  • Kubernetes expertise (beyond basics)


Why Join Us

  • Learn fast: Get exposure to cutting-edge GPU infrastructure and real ML workloads
  • Real impact: Contribute to features, guides, and benchmarks that users rely on
  • Early-stage experience: See how product, engineering, and customer feedback come together in a startup
  • Mentorship & growth: Work closely with experienced engineers and scientists in AI infra


Lyceum is an equal opportunity employer. We celebrate diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all employees.
