Role overview
Design and deploy GPU infrastructure for customers running large-scale AI training, inference, and high-performance computing workloads. This customer-facing role combines cluster architecture and capacity planning with hands-on implementation, performance tuning, and operational support across hardware and software.
Responsibilities
- Translate workload needs into GPU cluster architectures and capacity plans, including deployments ranging from hundreds to thousands of GPUs.
- Recommend and implement infrastructure for training, inference, and HPC workloads, including orchestration and high-speed interconnects.
- Configure and optimize production clusters using SLURM, Kubernetes, GPU drivers, and container runtimes.
- Diagnose issues across hardware, Linux, networking, drivers, and software; improve utilization and inter-node performance.
- Build monitoring, alerting, automation, runbooks, and operational documentation, and support critical deployments on call.
- Explain technical recommendations to customer engineers and executives, and coordinate incident resolution with internal teams.
Requirements
- At least three years of hands-on work with GPU clusters and HPC environments.
- Production experience with SLURM and Kubernetes, plus InfiniBand configuration and troubleshooting.
- Strong understanding of NVIDIA GPUs, CUDA, drivers, and GPU container runtimes.
- Experience with infrastructure automation such as Ansible or Terraform, and scripting or systems programming in Python and Bash.
- Knowledge of Linux performance tuning, AI network topologies, and power and cooling needs for dense GPU deployments.
- A record of customer-facing technical leadership and resolving complex infrastructure issues.
Nice to have
- Experience operating deployments with 1,000 or more GPUs, or relevant NVIDIA DGX, HGX, or SuperPOD certification.
- Familiarity with distributed training frameworks such as PyTorch FSDP, DeepSpeed, or Megatron-LM, and ML profiling.
- Experience with AMD MI300 or Intel Gaudi accelerators, or contributions to open-source HPC and AI infrastructure.
Benefits and work setup
- Remote work or an office option in San Francisco; visa sponsorship and relocation support are available.
- The stated cash range is $150,000–$300,000, with equity incentives, a professional development budget, and team off‑sites and conference attendance.
