The Role

We are seeking a DevOps / Platform Engineer to join our team building and operating large-scale GPU compute infrastructure that powers AI and ML workloads.

The Person

The ideal candidate should be passionate about software engineering and possess leadership skills to independently deliver on multi-quarter projects. They should be able to communicate effectively and work optimally with their peers within our larger organization. Finally, you aren't afraid of a team in more of a startup mode at a larger company and willing to jump in to help in areas adjacent to your main project as needed.

Key Responsibilities

• Build and extend platform capabilities to enable new classes of workloads (e.g., interactive development pods, CI pipelines, inference services, benchmarking jobs).
• Design and operate scalable orchestration systems using Kubernetes across both on-prem and multi-cloud environments.
• Develop platform features such as secret management, configuration management, and deployment automation for customers.
• Partner with development teams to extend the GPU developer platform with features, APIs, templates, and self-service workflows that streamline job orchestration and environment management.
• Manage service lifecycle within Kubernetes using Helm and GitOps workflows (e.g., ArgoCD or Flux).
• Apply expertise in storage and networking to design and integrate CSI drivers, persistent volumes, and network policies that enable high-performance GPU workloads.

Preferred Experience

• Experience in DevOps, Platform, or Infrastructure Engineering.
• Deep hands-on experience with Kubernetes and container orchestration at scale.
• Proven ability to design and deliver platform features that serve internal customers or developer teams
• Experience building developer-facing platforms or internal developer portals (e.g.custom workflow tooling).
• Hands-on experience in storage or network engineering within Kubernetes environments (e.g., CSI drivers, dynamic provisioning, CNI plugins, or network policy).
• Experience with Infrastructure as Code tools like Terraform.
• Background in HPC, Slurm, or GPU-based compute systems for ML/AI workloads.
• Practical experience with monitoring and observability tools (Prometheus, Grafana, Loki, etc.).
• Understanding of machine learning frameworks (PyTorch, vLLM, SGLang, etc.).

Preferred Academic Credentials

• Bachelors or Masters degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a related field.
