The bottom of this range ($150,000) is below the Level I prevailing wage of $152,797. An H-1B cannot be filed below the prevailing wage, so an offer at the floor of this band could not be sponsored as posted.

About the role
- That platform includes AWS infrastructure, Terraform configs, CI/CD workflows, and the GPU clusters our researchers depend on for large-scale, computationally intensive quantum simulations.
- The right person for this role is comfortable making judgment calls under uncertainty
Responsibilities
- Own our AWS infrastructure end-to-end and actively shape how it evolves
- building, not just maintaining.
- Implement monitoring and alerting that catches production issues before users notice them.
- Lead incident response and post-mortems when necessary.
- Own CUDA compatibility and driver versions across heterogeneous GPU clusters.
- Build standardized SLURM job submission workflows that researchers can use without help.
Requirements
- Production AWS experience: Built and maintained systems on ECS/EKS, managed multi-account networking (VPCs, security groups), and dealt with real-world infrastructure complexity.
- CI/CD: Improved build pipelines in production (reduced build times, increased reliability, made deployments easier to debug), including experience with GitLab CI, GitHub Actions, or equivalent.
Nice to have
- Background in scientific computing, research infrastructure, ML platforms, or early-stage startups (especially research computing vendors).
- GPU/HPC experience: Supported GPU workloads in production environments, including code optimization, CUDA debugging, and job scheduler setup.
- Security & compliance experience: You've implemented auth systems (Auth0/Okta), managed encryption (KMS), or worked on FedRAMP/compliance-driven infrastructure.
- FedRAMP experience is a strong plus.
- genuine interest in quantum computing matters more than prior exposure.
- What We're Not Looking For
- Candidates focused on enterprise-scale batch computing rather than cloud-native platform engineering.
- Platform engineers without exposure to GPU workloads or HPC concepts.
Skills
- There's a real opportunity to shape how all of it evolves.
- 5+ years in Platform Engineering, DevOps, or SRE roles.
Compensation
- $150,000 - $170,000 USD
- Bay Area Pay Range
