ABOUT THE ROLE
We're looking for a Staff Site Reliability Engineer who is equally at home writing production software and running the infrastructure it lives on — and who wants to take ownership of one of the hardest, highest-leverage problems on our platform: intelligently managing a large fleet of GPU-backed models.
We run nearly 30 models across heterogeneous hardware, and keeping that fleet fast, reliable, and cost-effective is a serious engineering challenge. You'll build the GPU management and scheduling platform that sits at the center of it — collecting utilization and load metrics, interpreting what they actually mean, and using them to make real-time decisions about admission control and scaling. The goal: route and schedule inference calls so we use our capacity efficiently without exceeding it, and scale model replicas up and down automatically as demand shifts.
This is a senior role for someone with a decade in the field who can move fluidly between systems engineering and software development, and who is excited to own a complex, evolving system end to end.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
- Design and build our GPU management and scheduling platform — the system that decides when, where, and how inference calls run across a fleet of ~30 models on heterogeneous hardware
- Build the metrics pipeline that collects GPU load and utilization data, and the logic that turns those signals into decisions
- Implement admission control to protect capacity — deciding when to accept, queue, or shed inference requests so we operate within fleet limits
- Build autoscaling that adjusts the number of model replicas in response to real-time demand and utilization
- Develop cloud orchestration systems and operators in Python and Go to manage the model fleet
- Architect and operate scalable, fault-tolerant, secure production systems on AWS, GCP, or Azure
- Design and build infrastructure automation and deployment pipelines (Terraform, CI/CD) as first-class software
- Stand up and maintain monitoring, logging, and alerting that keep the platform reliable and performant
- Develop and enforce security and compliance policies appropriate to a healthcare AI platform
- Partner with engineers and research scientists to diagnose and resolve complex infrastructure, deployment, and operational issues
- Mentor engineers and raise the technical bar across the team
We value in-person teamwork and believe the best ideas happen together. Our team is expected to be in the office five days a week in Gurugram. This role will also require engaging with a US based team requiring some flexibility for overlapping hours with California.
WHAT YOU BRING
Must-Have
- 10+ years of professional experience across site reliability / DevOps engineering and software engineering
- Computer Science Degree Required from a top CS program.
