Key Responsibilities

• Design, build, and maintain scalable HPC infrastructure for AI workloads, including GPU clusters and distributed storage systems.
• Optimize system performance for AI training and inference tasks, focusing on compute, memory, and network bottlenecks.
• Manage and deploy AI/ML frameworks and libraries (e.g., TensorFlow, PyTorch, Horovod) on the HPC cluster.
• Implement and manage containerization technologies (e.g., Docker, Kubernetes) for AI workloads.
• Monitor system health, performance, and resource utilization, proactively addressing issues.
• Automate infrastructure deployment, configuration, and management using scripting and infrastructure-as-code tools.
• Collaborate with AI researchers and engineers to understand their infrastructure needs and provide support.
• Ensure the security and reliability of the AI infrastructure.
• Stay up-to-date with the latest advancements in HPC, AI hardware (GPUs, TPUs), and distributed systems.
• Develop and maintain documentation for infrastructure setup, usage, and troubleshooting.

Requirements

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field.
• Minimum of 6 years of experience in systems engineering, infrastructure management, or DevOps, with a strong focus on HPC or large-scale distributed systems.
• Proven experience managing GPU clusters and optimizing them for AI/ML workloads.
• Strong understanding of Linux operating systems, networking protocols, and storage solutions.
• Hands-on experience with container orchestration platforms like Kubernetes.
• Proficiency in scripting languages such as Python, Bash, or PowerShell.
• Familiarity with AI/ML frameworks and libraries.
• Experience with infrastructure-as-code tools (e.g., Terraform, Ansible) is a plus.
• Excellent troubleshooting, problem-solving, and analytical skills.
• Strong communication and collaboration abilities.
• Ability to work effectively in a hybrid environment, commuting to Kimberley as needed.

Benefits

• Our client offers a competitive salary, comprehensive medical and retirement benefits.
• We provide excellent opportunities for professional development, including access to cutting-edge technologies and training programs.
• The hybrid work model offers flexibility and supports work-life balance.
• You will be part of a dynamic research environment in our Kimberley facility, working on projects that are at the forefront of AI innovation.
