Job summary

Intel Corporation seeks a Senior AI Developer Advocate focused on rack-scale platforms. You will own the reference applications and Day0 enablement for the AI software stack on data-center platforms, with emphasis on Crescent Island.

You will build demos, blueprints, and workshop repositories that customers can fork and run at rack scale. You will develop on Kubernetes and multinode serving, including vLLM, SGLang, and llmd, and ensure architectures are reproducible.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree with 4 years of experience in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a related field or equivalent practical experience.
• Hands-on experience running Kubernetes in production, including accelerator scheduling, networking, and multinode workload deployment.
• Experience with multinode and distributed inference serving, such as vLLM, SGLang, or llmd.
• Working knowledge of AI optimized fabric and rackscale topologies, including interconnect behavior and collective communication.
• Track record of publishing reference applications or samples with visible open source contributions.
• Prior experience in Developer Relations or Developer Advocacy, including leading workshops or livecoding sessions.

Responsibilities

• Own the rackscale reference applications and Day0 enablement for the AI software stack on data center platforms, with a focus on Crescent Island.
• Build demos, blueprints, and workshop repositories that developers and enterprise evaluators can fork and run at rack scale.
• Build on Kubernetes, multinode serving, including vLLM, SGLang, and llmd, and AIoptimized fabric.
• Translate rackscale reference designs into runnable artifacts, so evaluators reproduce the results themselves instead of taking them on faith.
• Deploy and test reference applications from a clean cluster in CI so they come up on a first attempt and stay reproducible as libraries, models, and topologies change.
• Deliver Day0 enablement for new platforms so developers can start on the day the hardware is available.
• Lead flagship workshops, hackathons, and livecoding sessions at developer events and customer sites.
• Engage upstream in the repositories the reference applications depend on, contributing fixes and enablement for Intel rack scale.
• Convert what developers and evaluators hit into fixes in the reference applications, the documentation, and the product.
