Responsibilities

  • Build shared self-service and validation mechanisms for supported infrastructure workflows.
  • Provide diagnostic views across application, submission, remote-execution, host, and target layers.
  • Set performance and reliability benchmarks and use profiling, metrics, traces, and controlled experiments to evaluate changes.
  • Improve compute and GPU selection, scheduling, placement, concurrency, worker and runner configuration, resource sharing, caching, and input/output paths.
  • Analyze retry causes, recovery outcomes, wasted execution capacity, and recurring failures.
  • Implement and validate infrastructure changes with application, build and CI, remote-execution, and infrastructure teams.
