Culture

FarmGPU is built for a world where infrastructure is expensive, latency is real, and reliability is earned. We optimize for leverage, speed, and truth—with a small team operating systems that cannot afford hand-waving.

​

1) AI-First in Everything

We treat AI as a multiplier across engineering, operations, security, GTM, and finance. Our default is to replace repetitive work with automation and to use AI to compress feedback loops. How this shows up

• AI-assisted incident triage (summaries, hypothesis generation, diffing changes)
• Auto-updated runbooks and SOPs from postmortems
• Faster documentation, RFP responses, and security questionnaires (human-reviewed)
• Internal tools that eliminate manual work

Guardrail: AI increases speed, but humans remain accountable for correctness and customer impact.

2) High Agency & Extreme Ownership

We use “agency” as: the ability to independently identify problems, make decisions, and execute without waiting for permission—while being accountable for outcomes. How this shows up

• See a bottleneck? You drive it end-to-end: diagnose → fix → validate → document.
• Strong opinions, loosely held: decide quickly, update beliefs faster.
• We reward people who “close the loop,” not people who create meetings.

3) Builders, Not Tourists

We build and operate real infrastructure. Everyone is expected to be close enough to the work to understand failure modes and performance tradeoffs.

​

4) Systems Thinking

AI infrastructure is a system. We value people who can reason across layers: silicon → firmware → kernel → network → storage → workload performance. How this shows up

• We optimize for goodput (useful work delivered), not vanity metrics
• Changes require a hypothesis + measurement plan
• Postmortems focus on systemic fixes, not blame

​

5) Radically Transparent

We share context broadly because small teams move faster when they have the full picture. How this shows up

• Key metrics are visible internally (utilization, uptime, MFU, capacity, economics)
• Clear written decisions: what we decided, why, what we’ll measure
• Fast postmortems with tracked action items

Guardrail: We protect customer confidentiality and sensitive security details.

​

6) Direct Communication (Kind, Clear, Fast)

We value direct communication because speed and reliability require clarity. We aim to be straightforward, low-drama, and solution-oriented—especially when stakes are high (incidents, customer impact, security). What it means

• Say the thing that needs to be said, early.
• Prefer facts, logs, and measurements over opinions.
• Disagree openly, then commit and execute.

How this shows up

• Short, explicit asks: “I need X by Y to unblock Z.”
• Clear incident updates: “Impact, current hypothesis, next steps, ETA for next update.”
• Written decisions when it matters: what we chose, why, and what would change our mind.

Guardrails

• Direct ≠ rude. We default to respect and professionalism.
• Critique ideas and systems, not people.
• If you spot a problem, propose a path forward.
