Résumé du poste

EY is seeking an AI Systems Engineer to build and operate the foundational substrate powering EY’s AI-native platform. You’ll own the cloud-native platform layers, from bare-metal and GPU infrastructure to Kubernetes, across cloud, on-prem, edge, and air-gapped targets.

This role requires deep infra expertise, portability-first design, and collaboration with security, architecture, and delivery teams to drive reliability and scalability in regulated client contexts.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science or related technical field.
• 8+ years building or operating enterprise infrastructure, cloud platforms, or large-scale Kubernetes environments.
• Hands-on experience with Kubernetes distributions (RKE2, EKS/AKS/GKE, K3s) and full cluster lifecycle management.
• Deep experience with bare-metal, cloud, hybrid, on-prem, and ideally air-gapped deployment models.
• Strong grounding in cluster networking (Cilium/service mesh/CNI), storage, and multi-tenancy isolation.
• Experience with GPU infrastructure and scheduling (NVAIE/DCGM, GPU operators, virtualization/MIG).
• Experience with infrastructure-as-code and GitOps tooling (Terraform/OpenTofu, Helm, ArgoCD, Crossplane).
• Proven track record operating production infrastructure under compliance, security, or regulatory constraints.

Responsabilités

• Own the cluster & cloud-native platform: compute, Kubernetes and scheduling, cluster fabric/networking, multi-tenancy, and distributed compute.
• Own the infrastructure foundation: Ubuntu/OS, BMC/bare-metal, DPU architecture, and NVAIE (GPU/Network/DCGM).
• Stand up and manage EY Agentic AI environments across cloud, on-prem AI Factory, edge, and air-gapped modes with a single stack contract.
• Deliver foundational platform capabilities such as Infrastructure Management, Kubernetes & Scheduling, and Cluster Fabric Management.
• Own cluster lifecycle, autoscaling, GPU pooling/virtualization, and multi-tenancy boundaries for isolated capacity per tenant.
• Own secure execution and inference: Ray Serve, vLLM/NIM/Triton, with sandboxed execution for safety.
• Own cognitive and routing: Envoy AI Gateway, semantic routing, and model/prompt selection under constraints.
• Collaborate with DevOps on CI/CD/CV, IaC/GitOps to ensure reproducible environments.
• Own backup, disaster recovery, and cross-environment replication with patching and hygiene.
• Ensure the substrate is modular and swappable to minimize vendor lock-in.
