About the role

As a Machine Learning Systems Administrator / DevOps Engineer, you will maintain and build the core infrastructure behind both our model training and our inference cloud. You’ll split your time between our large-scale training clusters and the deployments and services that run our models in production on heterogeneous compute, which spans multiple accelerator types and vendors. You’ll work closely with our training, inference, and product teams to keep these systems reliable, secure, and fast. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

What they're looking for

  • Experience with Linux system administration, user and access management, and automation
  • Demonstrated expertise in scripting languages for system tooling and automation (bash, Python, etc.)
  • Experience with containers (Docker) and scheduling/orchestration systems (Slurm, Kubernetes)
  • Experience running production services, including monitoring and alerting (e.g., Prometheus, Grafana), deployment pipelines, and incident response
  • Experience building tooling for cluster validation and reliability (accelerator, networking, and storage health checks)
  • Experience setting up and managing developer tools and third-party services (e.g., cloud storage providers, Docker Hub, Slack, Gmail, Telegraf, experiment trackers)
