• Build observability and automated remediation for GPU, node, network, and control-plane failures using VictoriaMetrics, Grafana, DCGM

What We're Looking For

• Hands-on experience using Slurm in production from a user’s perspective, including submitting and debugging workloads with sbatch, srun, squeue, and sinfo
• Strong proficiency in Go, with experience building production-grade Kubernetes operators, controllers, CRDs, and reconciliation loops
• Experience preserving traditional Slurm cluster behavior while running the underlying infrastructure on Kubernetes
• Experience diagnosing performance and reliability issues across GPUs, schedulers, hardware, high-performance networks, and distributed storage systems
• A product mindset and strong customer empathy, treating Slurm as a customer-facing platform rather than simply another system daemon
• Excellent communication skills and the ability to take end-to-end ownership of complex distributed-system challenges

Nice to Have

• Experience operating large-scale HPC or GPU clusters for external customers
• Experience with PyTorch distributed training and other large-scale AI/ML frameworks
• Experience with InfiniBand, RoCE, RDMA, GPUDirect, Lustre, WEKA, Ceph, or similar high-performance infrastructure
• Experience building unified job-submission workflows across Kubernetes and Slurm
