Job Description

Role Overview:

We are seeking a highly skilled Kubernetes Orchestration Engineer to lead the deployment and management of GPU-optimized Kubernetes environments that power AI/ML and hypercomputing workloads. This role is critical to ensuring scalable, reliable, and high-performance infrastructure across on-premises and hybrid cloud environments.

As a core member of our infrastructure engineering team, you will work at the intersection of container orchestration, GPU resource management, and AI application scaling, enabling large-scale distributed training and inference across GPU clusters.

Key Responsibilities

• Deploy and manage production-grade Kubernetes clusters tailored for GPU-intensive workloads in AI/ML environments.
• Build and maintain GPU node pools using NVIDIA Device Plugin, CRI-O, or container runtimes supporting GPU scheduling.
• Orchestrate containerized distributed model training using Kubernetes and frameworks like PyTorch, TensorFlow, or Hugging Face.
• Design and implement Kubernetes Operators to automate scaling, health monitoring, and lifecycle management of AI/ML services.
• Use Helm charts to deploy and scale GPU-accelerated applications across clusters.
• Integrate observability tools such as Prometheus, Grafana, and Kibana to monitor GPU, memory, and pod resource utilization.
• Configure and troubleshoot CNI plugins (e.g., Calico, Flannel, Cilium) to ensure high-performance pod networking.
• Collaborate with DevOps, AI, and infrastructure teams to support hybrid and multi-cloud Kubernetes deployments.
  
  

Requirements

Required Skills & Expertise:

• Strong experience with Kubernetes (K8s) and container orchestration in production environments.
• Expertise in managing GPU workloads in Kubernetes using NVIDIA GPU Operator, vGPU, and device plugin configurations.
• Proficiency with container runtimes such as Docker and CRI-O, and orchestration tools like Helm and Kubernetes Operators.
• Solid understanding of networking within Kubernetes and service mesh integration (e.g., Istio, Linkerd).
• Familiarity with hybrid/multi-cloud Kubernetes platforms (e.g., GKE, EKS, AKS).
• Strong scripting and automation skills (e.g., YAML, Helm templating, Bash, Python).
  
  

Preferred Certifications

• Certified Kubernetes Administrator (CKA) – Required
• Certified Kubernetes Application Developer (CKAD) – Preferred
• NVIDIA Certified Kubernetes Specialist – Nice to have
