## About the role

Reflection's Compute Platform team keeps our compute layer healthy and highly available. We run a Kubernetes-based platform distributed across multiple neo-clouds, where multi-cloud scheduling, node health, and performance debugging at scale present genuinely hard systems problems.

## What they're looking for

- Experience building, mentoring, and growing systems or infrastructure teams while staying technically hands-on. (Comfortable growing into leading a team of ~10 quickly if you haven't managed at that scale before.)
- Deep systems-level engineering experience with a focus on cluster-wide behavior and maintenance
- Strong coding ability and the credibility to earn the technical trust of a strong team
- Depth in at least one of orchestration, storage, or GPU hardware — with the ability to learn the rest. Deep GPU knowledge beyond standard Kubernetes (e.g., NCCL) is a plus, not a prerequisite
- Alignment with a Kubernetes-first architecture
- Cloud storage expertise — managing high-performance data products (like VAST) across multiple data centers and handling datasets and checkpointing at scale — is a plus
