We're hiring customer focused SRE's and Systems Engineers/Developers to apply infrastructure support and site reliability engineering approaches to significant projects embracing emerging ML compute technology.
As a platform vendor and MLaaS provider, we offer you the opportunity to work across all sectors - including research organisations, universities, technology vendors and enterprises - encountering a diversity of ecosystems and best practices.
This team helps customers extend their data center and cloud provisioning ecosystems to incorporate our ML compute products, helps define and build pipelines for migration, refines production operations, and provides site reliability engineering expertise, automation and technical support throughout.
It's a mix of greenfield work, solution and product evolution, and technical collaboration. Becoming hands-on a subject matter expert, you'll empower others to develop new capabilities and accomplish things that were not previously possible, embracing emerging advances in machine intelligence.
Of particular interest are your skills applied to domains such as any of; site reliability engineering at scale; grid or cloud computing; HPC/scientific computing, OpenStack admin or development; data center orchestration; SDN/NFV; and/or developing Linux-based systems for novel IP-based protocols - or similar.
