A fast moving, curious and resourceful team

The best thing about working for Lambda is the people. There is a focus on the human element of engineering. We are human beings who happen to be engineers, not engineers who happen to be human. Having said that, the technical expertise at Lambda is deep. They're subject matter experts on a wide range of technologies. There is a culture of knowledge sharing and team building at Lambda.

Another great thing about working for Lambda is the technology stack. Deep learning is the place to be right now and Lambda is at the center of it. Everyone needs access to GPUs for training and inference and we provide that access in Lambda Cloud and our hardware offerings. Lambda Cloud is an amazing product to be working on. From distributed systems, networking, compute, storage and deep learning, there is no end to the cool technologies we get to work with.

I have been at Lambda for a year and a half. It has been a wild ride. I have learned a lot. But most of all I have made great friends.

One of my favorite things about working for Lambda is the people I get to work with everyday. Even though we live miles apart, we all share the common goal to grow the business and provide state of the art solutions to our customers. The people we get to work with are diverse in many ways such as race, gender, and career backgrounds!

Working at Lambda with the Supply Chain is a dream. We are able to measure our impact and provide visibility to stakeholders. We give confidence to customers that they are receiving the latest, greatest, and reliable technology for their projects. The Supply Chain team is the “heart” of the business and our main focus is to support our customers to provide suitable and sustainable solutions for the AI/ML universe!

Overall, I'm so grateful to be apart of one of the fastest growing teams with a company that truly supports me professionally, and personally! Lambda’s willingness to provide me the flexibility to be a mom and an employee at the same time means more to me than I could ever express. It's a dream come true!
