Descrizione del lavoro

Overview

Our client, part of the UN, are looking to hire a contract GPU Engineer initially until the end of 2025. It\'s a fully remote position.

Responsibilities

• Optimize performance of existing and new applications by leveraging GPU parallelization, identifying bottlenecks, and deploying code and framework-level improvements.
• Perform a thorough analysis of deployment methods for GPU-accelerated serving frameworks in the market, with reference implementations and best-practice recommendations for large-scale serving solutions (e.g., NVIDIA Triton Inference Server, TensorRT, ONNX Runtime).
• Develop repeatable and automated configuration templates for GPU resources.
• Implement active GPU monitoring, including review and analysis of all relevant metrics (utilization, memory bandwidth, power, temperature, etc.), and establish dashboards and alerts for proactive performance and health management.
• Integrate GPU resource provisioning and configuration into CI / CD pipelines using Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tools (e.g., Terraform, Helm Charts, etc), and document workflows for seamless deployment and rollback.
• Document all configurations, testing results, benchmarking analyses, and deployment procedures to ensure transparency and reproducibility.
• Establish active GPU monitoring protocols, including the identification and evaluation of available metrics, to select the most relevant indicators for ongoing performance management.
• Support self-service deployment of Large Language Models (LLMs) on GPU resources, enabling application owners with varying technical expertise to access and utilize GPU capabilities seamlessly.

Qualifications

• Minimum 2 years of hands-on experience in GPU engineering or cloud-based GPU workload optimization, ideally within enterprise or large-scale environments.
• NVIDIA Certified (Preferred).

Required Skills

• Direct experience with GPU services, including resource provisioning, scaling, and optimization.
• Demonstrable expertise in GPU-accelerated software development (CUDA, OpenCL, TensorRT, PyTorch, TensorFlow, ONNX, etc.).
• Strong background in performance benchmarking, profiling (Nsight, nvprof, or similar tools), and workload tuning.
• Experience with Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, HELM Charts, or equivalent) for automated cloud resource management.
• Proven experience designing and implementing CI / CD pipelines for GPU-enabled applications using tools like GitHub Actions (Preferred) or similar.
• Working knowledge of Kubernetes and GPU scheduling, including setup of GPU-enabled clusters and deployment of GPU workloads in Kubernetes.
• Familiarity with GPU monitoring and observability, using tools such as Prometheus, Grafana, NVIDIA Data Center GPU Manager (DCGM), or custom scripts.
• Proven ability to analyze deployment approaches for GPU-accelerated serving frameworks and deliver reference implementations.
• Experience implementing software quality engineering practices (unit testing, code review, test automation, reproducibility).
• Strong scripting skills in Python, Bash, or PowerShell for automation and monitoring purposes.
• Excellent analytical, problem solving, and troubleshooting abilities.
• Quick learner, adaptable to evolving requirements and emerging GPU / cloud technologies.
• Positive and collaborative attitude in Agile environments.
