You will have the chance to contribute to a world-class team that is determined to push the boundaries of innovation and flawlessly implement ambitious projects!

What you’ll be doing:

• Build, implement and support operational and reliability aspects of large-scale Kubernetes clusters with focus on performance at scale, real-time monitoring, logging, and alerting.

• Define SLOs/SLIs, monitor error allowances, and streamline reporting.

• Support services before they launch through system creation consulting, developing software tools, platforms and frameworks, capacity management, and launch reviews.

• Maintain services once they are live by measuring and supervising availability, latency, and overall system health.

• Operate and optimize GPU workloads across AWS, GCP, Azure, OCI, and private clouds.

• Scale systems sustainably through mechanisms like automation and evolve systems by pushing for changes that improve reliability and velocity.

• Lead triage and root-cause analysis of high-severity incidents.

• Practice balanced incident response and blameless postmortems.

• Solid grasp of SRE principles, such as SLOs, SLIs, error budgets, and incident management.

• Experience building and operating comprehensive observability stacks (monitoring, logging, tracing) using tools like OpenTelemetry, Prometheus, Grafana, ELK Stack, Lightstep, Splunk, etc.

Ways to stand out from the crowd:

• Operating GPU-accelerated clusters with KubeVirt in production.

• Applying generative-AI techniques to reduce operational toil.

• Experience with workflow orchestration platforms such as Temporal, Cadence, Airflow, Argo Workflows, or Step Functions.

• Experience operating and resolving problems in production AI inference workloads across the model-to-GPU stack, including vLLM, SGLang, PyTorch, TensorRT-LLM, NVIDIA Dynamo, CUDA, NCCL, and GPU performance analysis.
