About the role

Beam is building an ultrafast AI inference platform and is looking for an experienced contractor to stand up high-performance GPU clusters. The role covers design review through bring-up, operational foundation, and ongoing support, focusing on NVIDIA HGX/DGX clusters, InfiniBand fabric, storage, and observability.

Responsibilities

  • Review cluster designs and bills of materials across compute, networking, and storage, and catch gaps before hardware is ordered.
  • Lead acceptance testing: validate cabling and optics, bring up the InfiniBand fabric, run burn-in, and hold vendors to their deliverables.
  • Stand up and validate high-performance storage alongside vendor teams.
  • Build the out-of-band management layer and firmware baselines, and secure the management plane for customer-facing environments.
  • Integrate hardware, fabric, and storage telemetry into our observability stack, with alerting and automated health checks.
  • Write runbooks, as-builts, and remote-hands procedures.
  • Provide escalation support after go-live and help our team ramp up.

Qualifications

  • You've built and operated NVIDIA HGX or DGX clusters in production at a GPU cloud, HPC center, or AI lab.
  • Hands-on experience with InfiniBand: subnet management and UFM, fabric bring-up, and diagnosing degraded links and optics (NDR or newer).
  • GPU node bring-up and burn-in: firmware, BMC/Redfish, DCGM, NCCL testing, PXE and imaging, and XID error triage.
  • Parallel storage experience: WEKA, VAST, GPFS, Lustre, or similar.
  • Equally effective on the data center floor and remotely, including directing colo remote hands.
  • Troubleshooting methodically across hardware, fabric, and software, documenting as you go, and communicating clearly with technical and non-technical people.
  • Bonus: recent-generation NVIDIA platforms, bare-metal cloud operations, Ansible or similar automation, Prometheus/Grafana, NVIDIA certifications.
