About the role

Site Reliability Engineer focused on end-to-end reliability, scalability, and operation of Fluidstack's compute fleet (GPU-based), with emphasis on automation, observability, and hardware-aware reliability across Kubernetes and bare metal environments.

Responsibilities

  • Own compute fleet health end to end. Build the metrics pipelines, alerting, and unified health view that tell you the true state of every GPU in production — across Kubernetes-orchestrated workloads and bare metal, at scale.
  • Turn deployment/repair into a pipeline, not a procedure. Build and own the automation that takes a compute failure from detection through triage, parts management, and return to service. No one-off scripts, no heroics.
  • Design and expand the GPU qualification platform. Burn-in, performance baselining, and NPI execution for every new GPU generation. You define what "good" looks like before hardware goes into production.
  • Own Redfish and BMC tooling. Firmware-level telemetry, log collection at fleet scale, and the low-level access layer that repair automation and health tooling depend on.
  • Own end-to-end reliability, scalability, and operation of the compute fleet at-scale. Fluidstack is building one of the largest GPU fleets in the world and that can only be accomplished with aggressive automation, tooling, and incident discipline.

Qualifications

  • You treat toil as a bug. Manual steps in a repair workflow are a backlog item, not a job description.
  • You have an instinct for hardware. You're comfortable reasoning about failure modes at the firmware and silicon level, not just the software stack above it.
  • You move toward ambiguity, not away from it. You walk into the fog, build the map, and explain it to everyone else.
  • You learn at a steep slope. You reach real competence in an unfamiliar domain fast. We value this over existing expertise.
  • You carry a pager without flinching. You run the incident, write the postmortem, fix the systemic cause, and move on.
  • You're fluent with AI tooling. LLM APIs, MCP servers, and agentic frameworks, and you drive Claude Code, Cursor, or similar every day.
  • You've shipped production automation that other teams depend on, and you're comfortable in any language using AI coding tools.
  • Bonus: Hardware lifecycle management and RMA automation. BMC/Redfish or IPMI tooling. GPU qualification or burn-in frameworks. Workflow and orchestration engines (Temporal, Cadence). Metrics and alerting pipelines (Prometheus, Grafana). Go or Python.
