Sr. Site Reliability Engineer (SRE)

Role overview Build and operate production Kubernetes infrastructure on bare-metal systems that support large-scale AI, research, and other compute-intensive workloads. The work spans cluster architecture, networking, storage and GPU integrations, automation, and the reliability practices needed to run infrastructure across multiple regions.

Responsibilities - Design, bootstrap, scale, and maintain bare-metal Kubernetes clusters, including their control planes and etcd. - Integrate Kubernetes with high-performance networking, storage, and specialized hardware such as GPUs. - Develop operators, controllers, and automation for infrastructure provisioning and resource lifecycle management. - Establish reliability targets, monitoring, alerting, and incident response practices; lead post-incident reviews and improvements. - Track performance and capacity, troubleshoot bottlenecks, and improve utilization across infrastructure domains.

Requirements - At least five years in SRE, DevOps, or infrastructure engineering, operating production systems at scale. - Hands-on experience building and running bare-metal Kubernetes clusters, including cluster bootstrapping, control planes, etcd, and scaling. - Strong knowledge of Kubernetes internals, including CRDs, operators, controllers, admission webhooks, and scheduling. - Experience integrating Kubernetes with storage drivers, networking such as CNI and SR-IOV, or GPU device plugins. - Strong Linux administration, performance tuning, and production troubleshooting skills. - Familiarity with infrastructure automation tools such as Terraform, Ansible, and Helm, plus networking fundamentals and observability practices.

Nice to have - Experience with NVIDIA GPU operators, MIG, GPU time-slicing, or custom scheduling; multi-cluster management; or high-performance networking such as InfiniBand, RDMA, or RoCE. - Familiarity with enterprise storage, GitOps, Kubernetes security, regulated environments, or research and HPC infrastructure.
