About the role
Senior/Staff software engineer to build manifest-driven infrastructure for turning racks of GPUs into running inference clusters. Owns provisioning state machines, self-service APIs, and automated lifecycle management for production-grade AI infrastructure, with a product-focused mindset and CI/CD automation.
Responsibilities
- Build the provisioning state machine: model the full lifecycle of a physical host from discovery to inference bring-up, GPU stack, health validation, and decommission/RMA as explicit states and transitions.
- Build the self-service API: design declarative APIs and a control plane to allow the inference team to request, scale, and tear down clusters with one API call.
- Automate self-healing: detect degraded/failed nodes, drain safely, trigger repair or replacement, and reintroduce healthy capacity automatically.
- Own reliability of the pipeline: ensure idempotency, retries, rollback, and drift detection for a dependable provisioning system.
- Partner with the inference/ML platform team: encode cluster shapes (topology, interconnect, scheduling constraints) as abstractions in the platform.
- Engineer it like software: strong typing, automated tests, code review, versioning, and CI/CD for infrastructure code.
Qualifications
- Strong software engineering background in Go, Python, Rust, or similar.
- Experience with durable workflow orchestration tools (Temporal, Cadence, or equivalent).
- Experience building software control planes or orchestration systems that model state and reconcile it over time.
- Experience with event-driven systems (message queues, event streams, pub/sub such as Kafka, NATS, SQS).
- Product mindset with experience building internal platforms/APIs for other engineering teams.
