Role description

We are looking for a Senior Engineer to lead a critical initiative within our Platform Engineering team: building the software layer for AI Gigafactory. In this role you will move beyond consuming public cloud resources to architecting and building a private Neo-cloud from the ground up. You will design the control planes that manage high-performance compute clusters orchestrate thousands of GPUs and optimize the hardware-software interface for massive AI workloads.

This role sits at the intersection of High-Performance Computing (HPC) Kubernetes Internals and Bare Metal Engineering.

What you will be doing

• Building the Control Plane: Designing and developing the software layer (APIs Controllers Agents) that automates the lifecycle of bare-metal AI infrastructure.

• Orchestrating High-Scale Compute: Architecting scheduling solutions for large-scale distributed training jobs across massive clusters of GPUs (NVIDIA H200/B200/B300) ensuring efficient bin-packing and gang scheduling.

• Optimizing the Fabric: Tuning the software-defined networking layer to support low-latency interconnects (InfiniBand/RDMA/RoCEv2) essential for multi-node training.

• Developing Kubernetes Extensions: Writing custom Kubernetes Operators and CRDs to abstract complex hardware realities (topology awareness GPU partitioning) into usable interfaces for our Data Scientists.

• Hardware-Level Debugging: Investigating and resolving deep systems issues ranging from PCIe bus errors and NCCL communication timeouts to kernel panics on bare-metal nodes.

• Defining Standards: Creating the Golden Image for AI workloads managing drivers firmware and OS optimizations to squeeze maximum performance out of the hardware.

Requirements

• Systems Programming Expertise: 10 years of software engineering experience with strong proficiency in Go (Golang) C or Rust. You must be comfortable building system agents APIs and CLI tools.

• Deep Kubernetes Knowledge: You understand K8s internals beyond simple deployment. Experience with Custom Resource Definitions (CRDs) Operators and the Kubernetes API server architecture.

• GPU Ecosystem Experience: Hands-on experience managing NVIDIA GPU clusters. Familiarity with NVIDIA drivers CUDA toolkit and the container runtime (NVIDIA Container Toolkit).

• Linux Internals: Deep understanding of the Linux kernel cgroups namespaces and system performance tuning.

• Infrastructure as Code: Mastery of declarative infrastructure tools (Terraform Ansible) but with a focus on provisioning physical hardware rather than just cloud VMs.

• Problem Solving: A proven track record of debugging complex distributed systems where the root cause could be code network or silicon.

Preferred qualifications

• HPC Background: Experience working with traditional supercomputing schedulers (Slurm PBS) or modern batch schedulers (Volcano Kueue Ray).

• Bare Metal Provisioning: Experience with tools like Cluster API (CAPI) Metal3 Tinkerbell Canonical MaaS or OpenStack Ironic.

• High-Speed Networking: Knowledge of RDMA InfiniBand GPUDirect and how to expose these technologies to containerized workloads.

• AI/ML Familiarity: Understanding of how distributed training works (e.g. PyTorch Distributed Megatron-LM DeepSpeed) and the infrastructure requirements of Large Language Models (LLMs).

• Observability: Experience building monitoring for hardware health (DCGM) and distributed tracing for long-running jobs.

Location:Applicants must have legal authorization to work in the country where the position is based
