Its engineers build critical infrastructure to eliminate friction in scientific research, simulations, analysis, and decision-making, accelerating discovery and driving faster innovation.
We are seeking a highly skilled Senior Kubernetes Engineer to join our office in Dallas. In this role, you will design, implement, and optimise GPU-accelerated container platforms at scale, enabling high-performance workloads (AI/ML, HPC, LLM training) across hybrid or on-prem environments. You will have deep expertise with both NVIDIA and Kubernetes ecosystems, including GPU scheduling, device plugins, and custom operators.
Key Responsibilities
- Architect and operate Kubernetes clusters optimised for GPU workloads, leveraging NVIDIA GPU Operator, Network Operator, and DCGM.
- Develop, deploy, and maintain custom Kubernetes operators and controllers to automate infrastructure services.
- Integrate NVIDIA device plugins, Multi-Instance GPU (MIG), and GPU sharing features into the scheduling layer.
- Optimise GPU utilisation and job placement through scheduler extensions, such as kube-scheduler plugins, Slurm, and Volcano.
- Collaborate with HPC, ML, and DevOps teams to ensure multi-tenant, high-throughput cluster performance.
- Drive observability and telemetry integrations using Prometheus, Grafana, DCGM Exporter, and OpenTelemetry.
- Implement secure multi-user and multi-namespace GPU isolation, with RBAC and policy enforcement, such as OPA or Gatekeeper.
- Maintain CI/CD pipelines for Kubernetes infrastructure using GitOps, ArgoCD, and FluxCD.
- Contribute to infrastructure-as-code, using Terraform, Helm, and Kustomize.
- Participate in performance tuning, incident response, and production readiness reviews.
Required Experience
- Extensive experience with Kubernetes in production-grade environments and working with NVIDIA and Kubernetes, including GPU Operator, device plugin, NVML, MIG, and DCGM.
- Proficiency in Go or Python for operator development and Kubernetes controller logic.
- Deep understanding of Kubernetes internals, including CRDs, RBAC, custom controllers, and scheduler extensions.
- Experience with GPU-intensive workloads, for example for LLMs, training pipelines, and scientific computing.
- Hands-on experience with Helm, Kustomize, and GitOps workflows.
- Familiarity with CNI plugins, especially NVIDIA CNI and Multus.
