About the role
About the Role
Join an AI/ML infrastructure team to lead end-to-end deployments of machine learning software in enterprise customer environments, from cloud VPCs to on-premises hardware. You will work directly with customer engineering teams to make complex deployments reliable, secure, and repeatable.
What You'll Do
- Plan, configure, test, and roll out deployments across customer cloud and on-premises environments.
- Partner with customer IT, security, and platform teams, including through live channels and on-site visits when needed.
- Diagnose and resolve infrastructure issues involving Kubernetes configuration, cloud IAM, and networking.
- Build monitoring, telemetry, and automation that turn one-off deployment work into reusable patterns.
- Understand the hardware requirements of machine learning models and deploy them on customer-controlled infrastructure.
What We're Looking For
- At least 3 years of experience in infrastructure engineering, DevOps, or SRE, with experience supporting production systems.
- Deep production expertise in Kubernetes and Terraform, plus experience with AWS, GCP, or Azure, networking, and infrastructure as code.
- Familiarity with Python, Helm, Docker, Linux, GPU infrastructure, and customer-managed deployment tooling is valuable.
- Experience shipping software into customer-controlled environments, such as VPC, air-gapped, on-premises, or customer-managed Kubernetes deployments.
- Strong communication skills and the ability to troubleshoot issues live with external engineering teams.
- A strong record of technical ownership, such as high-growth startup experience, significant open-source contributions, rapid career growth, or founding-engineer scope.
