Job summary

Socket.dev seeks a Senior DevOps / Cloud Simulation Infrastructure Engineer to own the end-to-end cloud execution pipeline for SimReady assets. This role transitions validation from local workstations to high-scale cloud validation on NVIDIA Cloud Functions (NVCF).

You will deploy a robust, multi-GPU pipeline supporting structural validation, AI-driven runtime testing, and automated remediation. You will implement GPU-backed containerized runtimes, CI/CD observability, and scalable distributed

Qualifications

• BS or MS degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or related field (or equivalent experience).
• 8+ years of professional experience working on DevOps and/or cloud simulation.
• Extensive experience in production-grade DevOps, SRE, or Infrastructure Engineering, with a focus on GPU-backed cloud services.
• Proven expertise in container orchestration (Kubernetes/Docker) and CI/CD pipeline development.
• Experience with automated testing frameworks, preferably involving AI/ML inference, computer vision, or rule-based validation.
• Proficiency in Python and systems scripting for test orchestration and pipeline automation.
• Strong ability to design and maintain distributed job lifecycle services (submit/poll/fetch/cancel) and handle asynchronous failure states.
• Ability to diagnose and solve distributed network bottlenecks, including gRPC and function-to-function communication.

Responsibilities

• Deployment: Deploy full Isaac Sim runtimes within GPU-aware NVCF containers.
• Deploy Structural Validation: Deploy services to validate USD structure and compliance without runtime overhead.
• Deploy Runtime Validation: Architect scalable execution layers to conduct runtime behavior-based testing.
• Deploy Automated Remediation: Develop an AI-based pipeline that intercepts failures and triggers automated fixes.
• Cloud Infrastructure Ownership: Scale execution from single-workstation validation to multi-GPU cloud environments.
• Artifact & Evidence Pipeline: Automate the generation of verification videos, thumbnails, and reports.
• Observability & CI/CD: Establish robust CI/CD, monitoring pipelines, logging and tracing.
• Operational Reliability: Implement atomic update semantics and safe failure handling.
