Job Description
At Gatik, we connect people of extraordinary talent and experience to an opportunity to create a more resilient supply chain and contribute to our environment’s sustainability.
Key Responsibilities
- We are seeking a Senior Cloud Infrastructure Engineer to architect and manage the large-scale compute and data infrastructure powering our autonomous driving stack. While researchers develop perception, planning, and world models, your mission is to build the high-performance systems and pipelines that make their work possible. You will be the backbone of our AI platform, ensuring that multi-GPU clusters, distributed training frameworks, and automated workflows are scalable, resilient, and cost-effective.
- This role is onsite 5 days a week at our Santa Clara, CA office!
- Cloud-Native Orchestration & Kubernetes Advanced K8s Management: Architect and maintain mission-critical Kubernetes clusters optimized for heavy GPU/TPU workloads. GPU Scheduling: Implement and optimize Kubernetes-native GPU scheduling (NVIDIA GPU Operator) to ensure maximum hardware utilization. Infrastructure as Code: Drive the "Everything as Code" philosophy using Terraform, Helm, and cloud-native tools. Self-Healing Infrastructure: Deploy Autonomous AI Agents (LangGraph, CrewAI) to monitor cluster health and enable automated triage of hardware failures and NCCL timeouts.
- Data Engineering & CI/CD Pipelines Autonomy Data Pipelines: Build large-scale pipelines using Apache Airflow, Kafka, and Spark to process raw sensor data into training-ready formats. GitOps: Implement robust GitOps workflows using ArgoCD, Gitlab CI/CD to automate the deployment of both infrastructure and model artifacts. Observability: Maintain deep visibility into infrastructure health and model serving performance using Prometheus, Grafana, and OpenTelemetry. Agentic DevOps & CI/CD: Develop agent-driven workflows to optimize the developer experience, such as automated PR reviewers for Terraform and AI agents that proactively suggest Kubernetes resource-limit adjustments based on model training telemetry.
- Model Management & Lifecycle (MLOps) Experiment & Model Tracking: Design and maintain MLFlow and feature store integrations to provide a robust system of record for every model iteration. Workflow Automation: Build complex, automated model lifecycles using Airflow and Kubernetes to streamline the transition from training to simulation. High-Performance Serving: Support the deployment of models into simulation and production environments using Triton Inference Server, Ray Serve, and ONNX Runtime.
- Distributed Training & ML Systems Support Training Systems Support: Enable researchers to scale models (VLA, World Models) across multi-node setups using PyTorch Distributed (TorchElastic), Ray Train, and Horovod. Networking Optimization: Optimize low-level communication (e.g., NCCL tuning, InfiniBand, or RoCE v2) to minimize latency for 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) and large-scale training. Hardware-Aware Orchestration: Partner with researchers to fine-tune performance across multi-node GPU clusters for FSDP and DeepSpeed workloads.
Requirements
- Experience: 5+ years in Cloud Infrastructure, DevOps, or MLOps supporting high-scale compute environments.
- Kubernetes Mastery: Deep expertise in K8s, Helm, and container orchestration.
- Orchestration & Tooling: Strong background in Apache Airflow, Argo Workflows, MLFlow, and Terraform.
- Distributed Systems: Practical experience supporting frameworks like Ray and PyTorch Distributed.
- Core Skills: Proficiency in Python, Bash scripting, and a solid understanding of IAM/RBAC.
- Distributed Training Expertise: Deep understanding of FSDP, and DeepSpeed.
- AI Agent Orchestration: Experience building Agentic Workflows (LangGraph, AutoGen) for infrastructure automation or data curation.
- Advanced Protocols: Familiarity with Model Context Protocol (MCP) to connect AI agents with infrastructure tools.
- Salary Range - $180,000- $240,000
