Improve heterogeneous resource scheduling, utilization, isolation, quotas, priorities, preemption, affinity, autoscaling, and accelerator-aware placement.
Own compute capacity planning, resource forecasting, performance tuning, reliability, utilization, and infrastructure cost across clusters and failure domains.
Define SLOs and error budgets and improve monitoring, alerting, runbooks, production-readiness reviews, and failure recovery.

At least 3 years of experience in Site Reliability Engineering, Production Engineering, Systems Engineering, or a similar infrastructure role.
Strong hands-on experience operating Kubernetes in production and troubleshooting clusters, nodes, pods, controllers, and workload scheduling.
Experience managing CPU and GPU compute resources, including capacity, allocation, isolation, utilization, and failure recovery.
Strong knowledge of Linux systems, container runtimes, cgroups, namespaces, networking fundamentals, and host-level performance troubleshooting.
Proficiency in Go, Python, Bash, or another programming language used for automation and infrastructure tooling.
Preferred qualifications include experience with large multi-cluster or multi-region Kubernetes fleets, GPU clusters, AI infrastructure, Kubernetes internals, heterogeneous resource scheduling, distributed AI/ML workloads, infrastructure-as-code, configuration management, and Kubernetes deployment tooling such as Terraform, Ansible, or Helm.
Preferred candidates demonstrate experience with AI infrastructure reliability mechanisms, SLOs, capacity models, failure-domain planning, observability, automated remediation, workload recovery, and complex incident troubleshooting.
