Job description

Description

We are seeking experienced HPC AI/ML Platform Engineers to support one of the world's largest AI compute environments. This team operates and scales multi-cloud infrastructure powering GPU-intensive model training, deep learning research, and production AI workloads.

This is not a traditional cloud infrastructure role. The ideal candidate has hands-on experience supporting High-Performance Computing (HPC), deep learning platforms, large-scale GPU environments, and AI/ML training infrastructure where performance, reliability, and efficient resource utilization are mission critical.

Engineers on this team will help provision and operate large-scale compute environments, manage Kubernetes-based infrastructure, optimize GPU resource allocation, support Slurm scheduling systems, and build automation that enables rapid AI platform growth.

Success in this role requires experience operating production environments that support AI model development, training, and inference workloads at significant scale.

MUST HAVE REQUIREMENTS

• Proven experience supporting High Performance Computing (HPC) environments at enterprise scale
• Experience supporting AI/ML or Deep Learning infrastructure, including model training workloads
• Provision HPC infrastructure through CI/CD systems across AWS, CoreWeave, GCP, OCI, and additional cloud providers
• Experience managing or supporting Slurm-based job scheduling environments
• Operate and troubleshoot large-scale Kubernetes platforms supporting GPU-intensive workloads
• Define and maintain SLIs/SLOs, monitoring, alerting, incident response, and post-incident reviews
• Partner closely with Networking, Storage, Security, and AI/ML Platform teams
• Experience operating environments where performance, cluster stability, and GPU utilization directly impact business outcomes

Requirements

• 4+ years supporting HPC, AI/ML Infrastructure, Machine Learning Platforms, or Deep Learning environments
• Strong experience with distributed compute, GPU infrastructure, or large-scale training environments

Hands-on Kubernetes experience at scale including:

• Cluster lifecycle management
• Scheduler troubleshooting
• Node pool management
• Networking and CNI troubleshooting
• Production upgrades across large fleets

Terraform experience building and managing infrastructure through Infrastructure as Code

Python experience for platform automation and operational tooling

Working knowledge of AWS services including EC2, S3, EFS, and FSx for Lustre

Experience with Slurm job scheduling strongly preferred

Experience supporting ML training, inference, deep learning, large language model (LLM), or GPU-intensive workloads preferred
