About the role
Lambda is building the AI Cloud of the future. We are seeking a Staff Engineer to help our development of our Managed Kubernetes platform. Think GKE, but purpose-built for AI workloads and running on bare metal. This is a foundational technical leadership role where you will shape the infrastructure that powers the next generation of AI training and inference at scale.
What they're looking for
- 10+ years of experience in software engineering, platform engineering, or SRE, with at least 5 years focused on Kubernetes at scale
- Expert-level understanding of Kubernetes internals: API machinery, controllers, schedulers, operators, CRDs, CSI, CNI, and the extension patterns that make Kubernetes powerful
- Holistic infrastructure expertise: you've synthesized knowledge across compute, networking, storage, and security, not just Kubernetes in isolation. You can build solutions that span the full stack
- Strong software engineering skills in Go (required) and Python, you write production-quality code, not just scripts
- Deep experience with GPU orchestration in Kubernetes: NVIDIA GPU Operator, device plugins, DCGM, MIG, time-slicing, and GPU-aware scheduling. Familiarity with NVIDIA Network Operator and GPUDirect is strongly preferred
- Proven track record of technical leadership: driving design decisions across teams, mentoring engineers, and influencing infrastructure direction beyond your immediate scope
