Senior Slurm Administrator

NVIDIA; Bengaluru; Sur place; INR 1 800 000 - 3 200 000; Plein temps

Résumé du poste

NVIDIA is seeking an exceptional engineer to own Slurm within its HPC infrastructure, providing second-deep coverage across the scheduling estate. You will administer, configure and tune Slurm clusters, coordinate with LSF, and automate routine operations.

You will build dashboards for job throughput, queue wait times, and SLA attainment, while supporting design engineers during local business hours. A strong Linux background and scripting skills are essential.

Qualifications

• In-depth Slurm configuration, partitions and QOS, accounting with slurmdbd.
• Hands-on compute infra experience with batch scheduling.
• Exposure to a second scheduler such as LSF preferred.

Responsabilités

• Own Slurm within NVIDIA's VLSI compute environment.
• Administer, configure and tune Slurm clusters and operate with LSF.
• Automate scheduler operations, onboarding, draining, health checks, maintenance.
• Build dashboards and reports for job throughput, queue wait times, and SLA attainment.
• Provide production-level support and triage with engineering teams during local business hours.

Description du poste

NVIDIA is looking for an exceptional engineer to grow and thrive alongside our HPC Infrastructure team that designs, evaluates, and optimizes the compute infrastructure powering NVIDIA's next-generation silicon design and AI workloads. You'll own Slurm within NVIDIA's VLSI compute environment and provide second-deep coverage across the wider scheduling estate.

What you’ll be doing:

• In this position, you will own Slurm within NVIDIA's VLSI compute environment and provide second-deep coverage across the wider scheduling estate.
• Administer, configure and tune Slurm clusters - partitions, QOS, accounting, limits, node states and topology - and operate them alongside an existing LSF estate.
• Automate scheduler operations: node onboarding and draining, configuration management, health checks and routine maintenance.
• Build and maintain dashboards and reporting for job throughput, queue wait times and SLA attainment.
• This is a hands‑on technical role. You will be in the cluster and the scripts yourself, supporting design engineers during local business hours, and day-to-day operations - queue health and job triage - are a core part of the job rather than a side activity.

What we need to see:

• B.E./B.Tech/M.Tech in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or equivalent experience.
• 5+ years in compute infrastructure, with hands‑on responsibility for batch scheduling.
• Strong practical Slurm experience: configuration, partitions and QOS, accounting via slurmdbd, node management, and troubleshooting real job failures in production.
• Exposure to a second scheduler, LSF preferred, or a clear appetite to pick one up quickly.
• Solid Linux systems administration - filesystems, NFS, networking, process and resource management.
• Working automation skills in Python and shell, and experience with monitoring and dashboarding tools.
• Comfortable carrying a real operational load - you treat production support and escalations as part of the engineering job. Semiconductor/EDA or HPC exposure is a plus, not a requirement.
