About AION

AION is building the next generation of AI cloud platform by transforming the future of high-performance computing (HPC) through its decentralized AI cloud. Purpose-built for bare-metal performance, AION democratizes access to compute power for AI training, fine-tuning, inference, data labeling, and beyond.

By leveraging underutilized resources such as idle GPUs and data centers, AION provides a scalable, cost-effective, and sustainable solution tailored for developers, researchers, and enterprises. The platform's innovative Proof of Compute Contribution (PoCC) protocol rewards contributors based on performance, creating a transparent and efficient ecosystem.

Integrated with Tether (USD₮ & USD₮0) for stability and regulatory clarity, AION eliminates volatility, ensuring predictable costs and seamless transactions. With cutting-edge partnerships and a USD-backed economy, AION is pioneering the commoditization of high-performance compute, empowering global innovation and bridging the AI wealth gap.

Led by high-pedigree founders with previous exits, AION is well-funded by major VCs with strategic global partnerships. Headquartered in the US with global presence, the company is building its initial core team in India.

Who you are

You are a pioneering security architect with expertise in building robust isolation systems for multi-tenant infrastructure environments.
