Responsibilities

We’re looking for an engineer to design, build, and operate the GPU supercomputing environment that powers large‑scale training and inference. You will deliver high‑performant, reliable, and cost‑efficient compute so our users and researchers can move fast at scale.

  • Operate and automate large GPU clusters including provisioning, imaging, and capacity planning.
  • Write software that abstracts cluster management and presents a unified interface for training and inference.
  • Extend scheduling/orchestration (Kubernetes, Slurm, or similar) for topology‑aware placement, preemption, quotas, and fair‑share multi‑tenancy.
  • Monitor and improve operational metrics of speed, reliability, and error recovery.
  • Build reliable storage and artifact paths for datasets, checkpoints, and logs with clear retention and lineage.

What they're looking for

  • Bachelor’s degree or equivalent experience in computer science, engineering, or similar.
  • Proficiency in at least one backend language (we use Python or Rust).
  • Experience operating large‑scale clusters and container orchestration systems (e.g. Kubernetes or Slurm).
  • Comfort operating across the stack and owning projects end-to-end.
  • Thrive in a highly collaborative environment involving many, different cross-functional partners and subject matter experts.
