What You'll Do

You will own the technical vision and architecture for major portions of the platform, defining how AI workloads are admitted, scheduled, and governed across large GPU clusters using frameworks such as Kueue, Volcano, and Ray. In this high-impact role, you will apply systems thinking to resolve systemic performance, scalability, and fairness issues at scale. Additionally, you will lead cross-team architecture reviews, drive technical alignment across broader infrastructure, CKS, and managed inference teams, and establish platform-wide standards for reliability, capacity management, and developer experience while mentoring senior engineers across the organisation.
