    Job description

    SambaNova is a leader in next-generation AI infrastructure, delivering a full-stack inference platform for customers worldwide. At the core of SambaNova's technology is the RDU (Reconfigurable Dataflow Unit) — a chip built on a dataflow architecture rather than the traditional GPU model. Its decode performance is especially strong for agentic workloads like multi-turn agents, code generation, and long-running applications. RDUs are packaged into SambaRack, rack-scale hardware that lets customers deploy state-of-the-art models with better performance, greater energy efficiency, and faster time to value.

    About the team

    The Cloud Platform team owns the production inferencing service that serves SambaNova's models to customers on RDU accelerators, including capacity planning, deployment, monitoring, and incident response across regions in the United States, Asia, Europe, and Latin America.

    About the role

    The Cloud Operations team is seeking an experienced engineering leader to scale the platform our internal and external customers use to access SambaNova RDUs.

    Responsibilities

    In this role, you'll architecting our next-generation system from the ground up, running the Kubernetes infrastructure that powers some of the most advanced AI workloads in the industry, and bridging multi-cloud and on-prem environments in ways no generic SaaS company can offer.

    • Collaborate with AI and software engineering teams to understand their needs, provide golden paths to production, and build internal tools that accelerate their development cycles
    • Implement best practices for observability (monitoring, logging, tracing) to ensure system reliability and performance, and participate in on-call rotation

    Required Qualifications

    • 7+ years of experience in DevOps, Site Reliability Engineering (SRE), or Cloud Infrastructure roles
    • Proficiency in at least one programming language (e.g., Python, Go, Rust)
    • Expertise with Kubernetes (EKS, GKE, or self-managed) in production environments - pods, operators, CRDs, CNIs, etc.
    • Expertise with Infrastructure as Code with the ability to manage complex, multi-cloud environments
    • Strong proficiency with at least one major cloud provider (AWS, GCP, or Azure), with a solid understanding of the core services (compute, storage, networking, IAM)
    • Networking fundamentals (TCP/IP, DNS, HTTP, load balancing) and security best practices in the cloud

    Preferred Qualifications

    • Experience in a hybrid environment bridging cloud and on-premise/data center infrastructure
    • Experience managing infrastructure for data-intensive or ML/AI workloads
    • Knowledge of building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines (e.g., GitLab CI, Jenkins, ArgoCD)
    • Experience with service mesh technologies (e.g., Istio, Linkerd)
    • Contributions to open-source projects or a public portfolio of code (GitHub)
