The role
The Infrastructure Engineer will own and evolve multi-cluster GPU infrastructure. You will build developer productivity layers, improve reliability through automation, and guide compute spending decisions.
What you will do
- Own and evolve multi-cluster GPU infrastructure
- Drive architecture, automated provisioning, workload scheduling, reliability, cost optimization, and capacity planning
- Build the developer productivity layer including CI/CD pipelines, automated testing, and internal tooling
- Improve infrastructure reliability through monitoring, observability, infrastructure as code, and automation
- Help guide compute spending decisions
Required qualifications
- 3+ years building and operating production infrastructure at scale, ideally involving compute clusters, distributed training systems, or HPC
- Hands-on experience with cluster management and workload orchestration systems such as Slurm, Kubernetes, or similar technologies
- Experience designing and maintaining CI/CD pipelines, automated testing, and reliable build and deployment workflows
- Strong systems engineering fundamentals: Linux, networking, storage, and distributed systems
- Strong Python skills
- Familiarity with training to profile a run and tell whether the bottleneck is data loading, communication, or compute
- Track record of making infrastructure decisions that measurably improved reliability, developer productivity, or cost efficiency
- Strong AI tooling skills using Claude Code, Cursor, or similar
Nice to have
- Familiarity with GPU infrastructure, PyTorch, GPU profiling, and distributed training
- Experience operating at tens-of-millions-scale compute spend
- Multi-cloud or hybrid HPC/cloud infrastructure experience
- Experience scaling from single cluster to multi-cluster orchestration
- Background building experiment tracking, model registries, or ML pipeline tooling
