Our client is looking for an engineer with high-performance computing (HPC) and site-reliability experience to keep their growing multi-cloud AI infrastructure reliable and efficient.

You will investigate hard operational problems across compute, accelerators, workload scheduling, storage, and networking, and turn what you learn into proactive detection, diagnosis, and protected automated remediation, including AI-powered agents.

Success here starts with understanding how HPC infrastructure behaves in production and learning unfamiliar systems fast.

Prior experience building or orchestrating AI agents is welcome but not required.

Req# (phone hidden) **Responsibilities** Build a working understanding of multi-cloud HPC architecture (clusters, schedulers, accelerators, storage, networking, authentication) and keep it current as the infrastructure changes Find reliability and performance problems proactively, correlating logs, metrics, and events across cloud providers to build a clear incident picture and spot gaps in telemetry Diagnose complex issues end to end across Linux hosts, containers, schedulers, distributed workloads, storage, networking, and accelerators, isolating root cause rather than treating symptoms Turn proven investigations into repeatable tooling and agent-enabled workflows for detection, diagnosis, and bounded remediation, with safety built in: scoped permissions, precondition checks, human approval where needed, rollback, and post-change verification Strengthen observability and monitoring, measure whether the automation actually works (accuracy, recovery time, recurrence, false positives), and partner with infrastructure, research, security, and cloud-provider teams to turn incident lessons into durable fixes **Requirements** Operations experience with production HPC, GPU/accelerator clusters,



or large-scale distributed compute in a reliability-focused engineering role Strong Linux and networking skills, debugging failures across processes, containers, storage I/O, DNS, connectivity, and authentication Correlates telemetry across multiple cloud environments using tools such as Prometheus, Grafana, Open

Telemetry, or centralized logging, rather than relying on a single dashboard Writes and maintains automation in a language such as Python or Go, and has owned complex production investigations from symptom through root cause to a verified, lasting fix **Nice to have** Hands-on with HPC scheduling or cluster orchestration (Slurm, Kubernetes, or similar), and an understanding of how infrastructure health affects workload placement and completion Supporting AI training or accelerator-intensive workloads: GPU/TPU health, distributed-job failures, interconnect problems, data-loading bottlenecks, or checkpointing Experience across clouds such as AWS, GCP, Core

Weave, or OCI and their native observability services.

You do not need every provider named here HPC storage and networking (NFS/POSIX, Lustre, object storage, RDMA/Infini

Band or RoCE), infrastructure-as-code and deployment tooling (Terraform, Helm, cluster operators), and failure-injection or replayable incident testing Building, integrating, evaluating, or orchestrating AI agents for infrastructure operations (tool interfaces, permissions,



verifying agent actions) Welcome, but not required; strong HPC operations and SRE skills are the foundation of this role **We offer** Extended Healthcare with Prescription Drugs, Dental and Vision, and Healthcare Spending Account (Company Paid) Life and AD&D; Insurance (Company Paid) Employee Assistance Program (Company Paid) Telehealth (Company Paid) Short-term Disability (Company Paid) Long-Term Disability Paid Time Off (including vacation and sick days) Registered Retirement Savings Plan (RRSP) with Company match Maternity/Parental/Adoption Leave Top-up Employee Stock Purchase Program Critical Illness Insurance Employee Discounts Unlimited access to Linked
