Responsibilities

  • Define the model CI strategy for frontier models running on custom silicon and integrated accelerator systems.
  • Build production CI/CD pipelines for regression testing, performance benchmarking, software stability, and release qualification.
  • Design test matrices covering models, configurations, hardware generations, software components, and deployment environments.
  • Create performance baselines, regression detection, bisect and triage workflows, and failure ownership processes.
  • Establish GitOps practices for reproducible configuration, promotion, rollback, auditability, and environment consistency.
  • Shape monorepo architecture, dependency management, build and test boundaries, change validation, and developer workflows.
  • Develop orchestration, artifact management, caching, scheduling, observability, and capacity controls for accelerator-backed CI.
  • Partner with model, compiler, kernel, runtime, firmware, validation, and hardware teams to translate release risks into automated gates.
  • Improve CI reliability, speed, debuggability, and cost efficiency while maintaining production confidence.

Requirements

  • Experience building or operating large-scale CI/CD, developer infrastructure, test automation, or production engineering systems.
  • Understanding of GitOps, release promotion, rollback, reproducibility, and policy-driven automation.
  • Experience designing monorepos, build systems, dependency graphs, test selection, or change-impact analysis.
  • Ability to design regression and performance-benchmarking systems with stable baselines, useful metrics, and actionable failure diagnosis.
  • Proficiency in Python, Go, Rust, C++, or another language used for infrastructure and automation.
  • Experience with distributed systems, schedulers, containers, clusters, or heterogeneous compute infrastructure.
  • Ability to collaborate with model and systems engineers to make accelerator workloads repeatable for production qualification.
  • Strong focus on reliability, observability, developer experience, and reducing time from code change to trustworthy signal.
