Responsibilities
Build and evolve our Kubernetes and compute platform: operate and improve shared clusters and associated tooling that support internal services, CI runners, and compute-heavy research workflows. This includes participating in upgrades, capacity planning, GPU scheduling, and incident response with clear escalation paths and shared on-call practices
Drive automation-first DevOps: work with partner teams to reduce manual operations by improving deployment patterns, self-service capabilities, and operational guardrails, enabling teams to ship and run reliably with fewer one-off interventions
Improve observability and performance through practical signals: design and iterate on dashboards, alerting, and instrumentation practices, including performance tuning loops, that help teams understand workload behavior, detect issues early, and make informed tradeoffs around efficiency and cost
Strengthen infrastructure governance and delivery systems collaboratively: contribute to well-structured IaC workflows and change management practices, such as Terraform with review and apply processes, and help improve CI/CD reliability so infrastructure and application changes are safe, auditable, and timely
Be a trusted teammate on a small platform group: collaborate closely through pairing, reviews, documentation, and shared ownership, and help build durable operational readiness through runbooks, training, and clearly defined operational standards
Qualification
Required
5+ years of relevant engineering experience
Foundations in Kubernetes and Linux operations: experience working with Kubernetes in production or production adjacent environments, and familiarity with troubleshooting networking or performance issues, upgrades, or migrations. Deep expertise across all areas is not required on day one
Exposure to cloud and networking concepts: hands-on experience with at least one major cloud provider and an interest in learning more complex networking and hybrid connectivity patterns over time, including GPU focused environments and AWS
An automation-oriented mindset: experience improving workflows, reducing manual effort, or introducing guardrails, along with curiosity about modern DevOps practices that help platform systems scale beyond individual contributors
Interest in observability and cost awareness: some experience with dashboards, alerting, tracing, or telemetry, and a willingness to learn how to use signals to improve system behavior, performance, and cost efficiency
Experience with containers and delivery practices: experience building or modifying container images and deployment workflows, and an interest in learning best practices around image hardening, reproducibility, and reliable delivery
Preferred
Familiarity with tools like DataDog, Grafana, or Prometheus is helpful but not required
