Description

As a member of the GPU AI/HPC Infrastructure team, you will provide leadership in the design and implementation of groundbreaking GPU compute clusters that run demanding deep learning, high-performance computing, and computationally intensive workloads.

Your key responsibilities will include:

  • Providing leadership and strategic guidance on the management of large-scale HPC systems, including the deployment of compute, networking, and storage.
  • Developing and improving our ecosystem around GPU-accelerated computing, including developing scalable automation solutions.
  • Building and maintaining AI and ML heterogeneous clusters on-premises and in the cloud.
  • Creating and cultivating customer and cross-team relationships to reliably sustain the clusters and meet user evolving user needs.
  • Supporting our researchers to run their workloads, including performance analysis and optimizations.
  • Conducting root cause analysis and suggesting corrective action.

To succeed in this role, you will need:

  • A Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent experience.
  • Minimum 5+ years of experience designing and operating large-scale compute infrastructure.
  • Experience with AI/HPC advanced job schedulers, such as Slurm, K8s, PBS, RTDA, or LSF.
  • Proficient in administering CentOS/RHEL and/or Ubuntu Linux distributions.
  • Solid understanding of cluster configuration management tools, such as Ansible, Puppet, Salt.
