(Staff / Senior Staff) AI Infra Engineer, Inference Infrastructure

<h3><strong>About The Role&nbsp;</strong></h3> <p>We're looking for a software engineer, reliability-minded but still a builder, to own what happens in production to the Kubernetes-native control plane that provisions and runs our GPU inference fleet. The platform team builds the manifest-driven API and controllers that let the inference team declare what they need, a cluster, a model deployment, a capacity change, and get it reconciled underneath. Your job is to keep that promise true in the real world: triaging InfiniBand issues when prefill and decode nodes stall exchanging KV cache over RDMA, diagnosing hero-model and LoRA-serving faults that don't show up in generic health checks, and extending the automated self-healing system so each new failure mode becomes a permanent fix instead of a recurring page.</p> <p>The core value we're after is keeping the decoupling real even when things break, and keeping the fleet efficient without that efficiency becoming a new source of instability. You'll own SLOs and error budgets for inference serving, lead incident response, and turn what postmortems teach you into actual changes in the controllers and automation, not just updated runbooks. You'll also work the reliability side of capacity efficiency, since a mistuned defragmentation or bin-packing pass is itself a production risk. Strong candidates have hands-on production-reliability experience on large-scale distributed or GPU-serving systems, are comfortable troubleshooting InfiniBand/RDMA and Kubernetes controller/CRD-based platforms, and think about GPU infrastructure, and the tools that keep it reliable, as software to be engineered.</p> <p>A product mindset applies: the on-call experience, the clarity of an alert, and the judgment built into an automated remediation are things you ship and iterate on.</p> <h3><strong>Responsibilities</strong></h3> <ul> <li>Operate the provisioning state machine in production: own the health of the host lifecycle pipeline, discovery
