Requirements

Skills

  • Systems programming experience in C, C++, or Rust
  • Computer systems fundamentals with a grasp of how computers execute code from transistors to high-level applications.
  • Hands-on expertise with Kubernetes (K8s), including cluster architecture, pod lifecycle, networking (CNI), storage (CSI), service mesh, and production-grade operations
  • Collaborate in a fast-paced, open environment to design and foundational systems.
  • Strong debugging skills across the full stack — from kernel and OS up through container orchestration layers
  • Deep knowledge of operating systems internals (process scheduling, memory management, file systems, and synchronization primitives)
  • Proficiency in performance analysis, profiling, and low-level optimization techniques
  • Solid understanding of computer networks and the TCP/IP stack
  • Experience working with Linux kernel concepts or systems-level debugging tools (e.g., perf, gdb, strace, Wireshark)
  • Proficiency deploying and managing workloads using Kubernetes manifests, Helm, Operators, and GitOps workflows
  • Solid understanding of containerization technologies (Docker, containerd, crio) and their interaction with the Linux kernel
  • Experience with observability and monitoring in distributed systems (Prometheus, Grafana, VictoriaMetrics, OpenTelemetry, or similar)

Responsibilities

  • Design, build, and implement a large-scale distributed system that powers one of the world's largest supercomputing clusters.
  • Dive into the low-level stack to profile, debug, and optimize performance across diverse systems, including GPUs, Linux kernel, networking, and filesystems, to achieve peak efficiency.
  • Collaborate on hardware, software, and algorithm co-design to push the boundaries of AI training.
  • Maintain and innovate on our codebase to ensure scalability and reliability.
  • Develop tools to enhance team productivity and streamline workflows.
