About Upscale AI

Upscale builds next-generation AI network infrastructure with scalable systems, intelligent automation, and seamless connectivity.

About the role

AI training and inference clusters live or die on the network fabric. ScaleUp builds the software that programs our high-performance Ethernet switch silicon — SDK, SAI, simulation, and the CI that keeps that stack shippable. We’re looking for a DevOps engineer at the intersection of AI infrastructure, data-center networking, and silicon-aware software: reliable pipelines for an ASIC SDK, fast feedback for developers, and release paths worthy of cloud- and AI-scale deployment.

What they're looking for

  • Strong CI/CD experience (GitHub Actions and/or Jenkins, GitLab CI also fine) in multi-repo environments
  • Deep Linux fluency: shells, packaging, toolchains, debugging native builds and shared-library / SDK load paths
  • Automation in Python and bash, enough CMake/Make to unblock switch-SDK CI
  • Containers (Docker) and self-hosted or cloud runners at meaningful scale
  • Proven work reducing flaky tests and improving CI signal-to-noise
  • Hands-on Jira (or equivalent): workflows, boards, linking commits/PRs to issues, release/version fields — comfortable driving process with developers, not only “keeping the lights on.”
