Push-button cluster install, upgrade, and security patching with real downtime budgets, gated by canaries
Kubernetes operators that schedule large inference workload: resource locks, priority queues, network topology, and health-aware placement
gRPC control-plane services, authorization, admission webhooks, and quota policy for a multi-tenant fleet
Metrics and log pipelines with purpose-built exporters for wafer-scale systems, servers (Redfish, IPMI), and network fabric (gNMI, sFlow), on Prometheus and Grafana, with SLOs and alerting
Failure detection, HA control planes, and automated recovery, plus the CLIs, APIs, and MCP gateway that expose the fleet to users, operators, and AI agents
Skills and Qualifications
5+ years building and operating production distributed systems or infrastructure software
Production-quality Go and Python
Real Kubernetes depth: you have written or debugged controllers and operators, and you understand CRDs, reconciliation semantics, informer caches, admission webhooks, and RBAC
Strong debugging skills across distributed systems, Linux, and networking
Prometheus and Grafana as a practitioner: PromQL, exporter design, cardinality discipline, useful alerts
Strong self-driving capability. This environment is large, fast-moving, and not fully documented, so we need engineers who build their own context, decide, and drive work across team boundaries. Learning speed matters more here than familiarity with our stack.
Demonstrated adoption of AI in your engineering workflow: active use of coding agents, a view on where they help and where they mislead, and the rigor to verify what they produce.
Nice to have: bare-metal or HPC fleet operations, scheduler internals, RDMA/RoCE and eBPF networking, Ceph or NVMe-oF, etcd and HA upgrades, inference serving stacks. ML research experience is not required.
