• How co-design across AI hardware and software translates silicon capabilities into measurable latency and throughput gains.
• How to operate disaggregated inference systems on Kubernetes while balancing performance, reliability, maintainability, and cost.
• How to take enterprise AI deployments from requirements through integration, software delivery, validation, production readiness, and ongoing ownership.
• How customer deployment and operational insights shape product improvements and platform direction.

What they're looking for

• You take ownership of customer outcomes in deployed environments through integration, validation, production readiness, and operations.
• You understand how accelerator compute, memory, and networking topology constrain AI workloads, and don’t treat hardware as a black box.
• You work directly with customer engineering and operations teams to understand their environment, constraints, and desired outcomes.
• You’re comfortable debugging across the inference stack, from failing requests, kernel dispatch, drivers, networking, or hardware behavior.
• You automate repetitive work and communicate technical trade-offs clearly with both customer leadership and core engineering teams.
