• Support operational and reliability aspects of large-scale AI clusters, focusing on performance at scale, training stability, real-time monitoring, logging, and alerting.
• Administer Linux systems, ranging from powerful GPU-enabled servers to general-purpose compute systems.
• Design and plan rack layouts and network topologies to support customer requirements.
• Design and evaluate automation scripts for network operations, configuring server and switch fabrics.
• Perform NCCL, RCCL, LLM, and RDMA performance benchmarks as part of the design and evaluation process of the deployment. 
• Benchmark the latest GPU compute and NIC solutions by all major compute vendors, over the DriveNets networking fabric
• Install and configure Drivenets products, ensuring optimal performance and customer satisfaction.
• Maintain services once they are live by measuring and monitoring availability, latency, and overall system health.
• Engage in and improve the whole lifecycle of services from inception and design through deployment, operation, and refinement.
• Provide feedback to internal teams such as opening bugs, documenting workarounds, and suggesting improvements.
• Introduce new products to the Drivenets’ sales and support teams and to Drivenets’ customers 
• Deliver technical trainings and TOIs for support/sales engineers, partners, and customers
• Collaborate on product definition through customer requirement gathering and roadmap planning

REQUIREMENTS

What we need to see:

• 5+ years of previous experience deploying and administering AI/HPC clusters or general-purpose compute systems.
• 5+ years of hands-on Linux experience (e.g., RHEL, CentOS, Ubuntu) and production infrastructure support (e.g., networking, storage, monitoring, compute, installation, configuration, maintenance, upgrade, retirement)
• Proficiency in Cloud, Virtualization, and Container technologies.
• Deep understanding of operating systems, computer networks, and high-performance applications
• Hands-on experience with Bash, Python, and configuration management tools (e.g., Ansible).
• Established record of leading technical initiatives and delivering results.
• Ability to write extensive technical content (white papers, technical briefs, test reports, etc.) for external audiences with a balance of technical accuracy, strategy, and clear messaging
• Ability to travel domestic and international 

Ways to stand out from the crowd:

• Familiarity with AI-relevant data center infrastructure and networking technologies such as: Infiniband, RoCEv2, lossless Ethernet technologies (PFC, ECN, etc), accelerated computing, GPU, DPU, etc.
• Familiarity with GPU resource scheduling managers (Slurm, Kubernetes, etc.)
• Expertise with NCCL/RCCL, setting up GPU environments, tuning these environments, and collecting benchmark results.
• Familiarity with monitoring tools (e.g., Prometheus, Grafana, ELK Stack) and Telemetry (gRPC, gNMI, OTLP, etc).
• Understanding of data center operations fundamentals in networking, cooling, and power
• Proven experience with one or more Tier-1 Clouds (AWS, Azure, GCP or OCI) or emerging Neoclouds, and cloud-native architectures and software.
• Understanding the AI workload requirements and how it interacts with other parts of the system like networking, storage, deep learning frameworks, etc.
• Knowledge of AI/ML frameworks (e.g., TensorFlow, PyTorch) and associated tooling is an advantage.
