Responsibilities

• You will be foundational to building the comprehensive infrastructure platform that bridges our physical infrastructure – bare-metal servers, GPU clusters, high-performance storage, and networking fabric – with the systems our customers depend on for large-scale computation, inference, simulations, and training. Working closely with product, your platform team members, and infrastructure specialists, you’ll design and implement the orchestration layer, APIs, and automation framework that make thousands of servers, petabytes of storage, and high-speed networks feel like a unified, programmable platform. • Infrastructure Abstraction Layer: Design and build systems that bridge physical infrastructure (bare-metal servers, storage clusters, network fabric) with customer-facing services, enabling programmatic management of compute, networking, and storage at scale. • Infrastructure Abstraction Layer: • Research Cluster Provisioning: Design and implement systems for provisioning and managing research computing environments including Kubernetes and SLURM clusters, enabling automated deployment, resource scheduling, and workload orchestration for distributed AI training and HPC workloads. • Research Cluster Provisioning: • Platform Orchestration: Implement comprehensive orchestration systems that coordinate across compute, storage and networking to deliver unified experience for complex research workloads. • Platform Orchestration: • Network Automation & Placement: Design and build network provisioning automation including intelligent VM placement decisions for optimal network topology, automated VLAN and subnet configuration, and software-designed networking orchestration for high-performance interconnects. • Network Automation & Placement: • Enterprise APIs & SDKs: Develop robust APIs and SDKs that enable researchers and engineering teams to programmatically provision and manage infrastructure resources across all platform domains. • Enterprise APIs & SDKs: • Observability & Telemetry: Implement comprehensive observability, telemetry, and logging systems that provide visibility into infrastructure health, performance, and utilization across the infrastructure footprint. • Observability & Telemetry: • Performance Engineering: Build and optimize platform services that deliver consistent high-throughput low-latency networking for demand research applications and data-intensive workloads. • Performance Engineering: • Cross-Team Collaboration: Work closely with engineering, infrastructure, and product to define requirements, drive infrastructure-product-rollouts, and improve resource lifecycle management. • Cross-Team Collaboration: • Compliance & Security: Implement platform-wide compliance and security features supporting SOC 2, ISO 27001, and enterprise regulatory requirements including comprehensive audit logging, access controls, and data residency management. • Compliance & Security:

Benefits

• Build Next-Generation Infrastructure: Your work will create the platform foundation that enables financial institutions to harness AI capabilities previously impossible with traditional infrastructure. • Build Next-Generation Infrastructure: • Hands-On Ownership: As an early engineer, you’ll have end-to-end ownership of projects and the autonomy to influence our product and technology direction. • Hands-On Ownership: • Shape Industry Standards: Contribute to defining how enterprise AI infrastructure should work for the most demanding regulated environments. • Shape Industry Standards: • Collaborate with Experts: Work alongside seasoned engineers and industry professionals passionate about high-performance computing, innovation, and problem-solving. • Collaborate with Experts: • Start-Up Agility with Industry Impact: Enjoy the dynamic, fast-paced environment of a startup while making an immediate impact in an evolving and critical technology space. • Start-Up Agility with Industry Impact:
