About the role

  • Our innovative approach requires overcoming significant technical challenges, making this an exciting and dynamic environment for experienced engineers.
  • With an engineering-first culture, ACS values technical excellence and innovation.

Responsibilities

  • Manage NVIDIA GPU clusters for ML training.
  • Own the full CI/CD pipeline from source to deployment, including artifact signing, build automation, and version pinning, ensuring repeatable delivery to cloud and edge targets.
  • Manage network configuration, storage provisioning, and security hardening for the bare-metal cluster in compliance with applicable defense security requirements.
  • Strong CI/CD experience including Debian packaging, build automation, artifact management, and pipeline tooling (e.g., GitLab CI, GitHub Actions, Jenkins, or equivalent).
  • Experience building C++ and Python toolchains on Linux using CMake, with familiarity with cross-compilation for ARM targets such as NVIDIA Jetson.
  • Backed by our founders' successful exits from two previous ventures acquired for a combined $180M in 2022, we are committed to ensuring that the groundbreaking technologies we develop have a real-world impact.
  • We are seeking an experienced Platform Engineer to design, build, and own the infrastructure powering the development of ACS's autonomous counter-drone systems.
  • You will manage a 130+ GPU bare-metal Kubernetes cluster, own our CI/CD pipelines, and ensure our systems run reliably in both lab and field environments.

Requirements

  • 2+ years of experience in platform engineering, DevOps, or infrastructure engineering, with hands-on experience in production Kubernetes environments.
  • Deep expertise in bare-metal Kubernetes administration, including CNI configuration, storage backends, node management, and cluster upgrades.
  • Hands-on experience with NVIDIA GPU infrastructure, including CUDA, device plugins, GPU scheduling in Kubernetes, and KubeFlow or similar ML orchestration tooling.
  • Proficiency with observability tooling (e.g. ELK) for log aggregation, metrics, and alerting in distributed Linux environments.

Nice to have

  • Strong Linux systems knowledge (Debian/Ubuntu preferred), including networking, storage, kernel tuning, and security hardening for production environments.

Compensation

  • Competitive salary

Benefits

  • Health, Dental, Vision Insurance
  • We are developing a small, autonomous gun turret that employs advanced computer vision and control systems to precisely target and neutralize small drones and loitering munitions.
  • Build and maintain the observability stack, including log aggregation, metrics collection, alerting, and dashboards providing real-time visibility into cluster health and system performance.
  • Collaborate with computer vision, robotics, and software engineering teams to build low-friction developer tooling that accelerates iteration on the ACS turret platform.
