Responsibilities

  • Own the reliability, capacity, cost efficiency, and hardware lifecycle of hybrid CPU and GPU compute infrastructure across AWS and on-premises environments.
  • Design, build, and operate production-grade Kubernetes clusters throughout their full lifecycle.
  • Shape platform architecture and make technical decisions across the infrastructure track.
  • Unify workload operation across on-premises hardware and AWS while supporting research teams adopting cloud-native technology.
  • Define infrastructure-as-code and platform standards and improve observability and security.
  • Mentor infrastructure engineers through design reviews, architecture decisions, and maintainability practices.
  • Build consensus across engineering teams and drive platform changes through delivery.
  • Lead hybrid-infrastructure incident response, remediation, root-cause analysis, and sustainable on-call operations.

Requirements

  • Deep hands-on experience designing, building, and operating Kubernetes clusters at scale through their full lifecycle.
  • Depth in public cloud or on-premises infrastructure, with the ability to work effectively across both; AWS experience is preferred and bare-metal or data-center experience is strongly valued.
  • Strong Linux and networking skills, including debugging from containers through hosts to the network edge.
  • Production experience with Terraform or equivalent infrastructure-as-code tooling and GitOps delivery tools such as ArgoCD.
  • Software engineering ability in at least one major language, preferably Go or Python, including building tools used by other engineers.
  • A track record of technical ownership across multiple teams and the ability to establish, communicate, and adapt technical direction.
  • Strong incident-management and reliability-engineering discipline.
  • Bonus experience with GPU infrastructure for training or inference, distributed storage such as Ceph, researcher or data-scientist platform customers, or BGP-level networking.

Benefits

  • Hybrid work with office attendance twice a week and flexible working hours.
  • Virtual Shares for every employee.
  • Regular in-person team and company events.
  • Monthly full-day Hack Friday sessions.
  • 30 days of annual leave excluding public holidays and access to mental health resources.
  • Competitive location-tailored benefits and an internationally distributed team.
