Responsibilities

  • Linux Systems & Automation (Core)

  • Manage large-scale Linux environments: troubleshooting and root-cause analysis

  • Write maintainable, hand-off-ready Bash / Ansible / Python automation

  • On-call for infrastructure, CI/CD, and production service incidents

  • HPC Cluster & Storage

  • Operate HPC clusters (Slurm) along with usage analytics, auditing, and monitoring tools

  • Maintain and plan storage for compute environments (Lustre, NAS)

  • Cloud & Hybrid Infrastructure

  • Manage multi-cloud environments (AWS, Alibaba Cloud, GCP) with Terraform / AWS CDK

  • Build and operate Docker (ECS) / Kubernetes (EKS) environments and their deployment workflows

  • CI/CD & Developer Experience

  • Operate self-hosted GitLab server and Runner fleet

  • Operate CI/CD systems and design deployment pipelines for research and other projects

  • GenAI / Internal Platform

  • Build internal AI platforms (LangChain / LangGraph / Bedrock, Elasticsearch RAG)

  • Develop MCP servers, chatbots, AI agents, and similar services

Requirements

  • 5+ years of hands-on Linux systems administration and infrastructure operations experience

  • Solid Linux internals knowledge (process / memory / filesystem / networking / systemd / cgroup); able to localize issues even without complete logs

  • Strong Bash / Shell scripting skills — able to write maintainable scripts that others can pick up

  • Programming ability for data processing, CLI tools, and API services; Python proficiency preferred

  • Solid storage fundamentals with hands-on experience: RAID levels and rebuild trade-offs, filesystem selection, snapshot and backup planning; NAS / shared storage (NFS / SMB) operations experience

  • Experience with at least one major public cloud (AWS / GCP / Alibaba Cloud) and IaC tooling (Terraform / CDK / Ansible)

  • Familiar with containerization and orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes)

  • CI/CD pipeline design and operations experience (GitLab CI / Jenkins / Airflow)

  • Able to own a cross-service subsystem end-to-end: design, implementation, documentation, handoff

  • Strong autonomy: can drive a problem from discovery, root-cause investigation, decision-making, to delivery with minimal supervision; able to make judgment calls under incomplete information and proactively communicate progress, risks, and rationale

  • Self-directed: doesn't wait for tickets — identifies problems worth solving and prioritizes them independently

  • Nice to Have

  • HPC scheduler experience (Slurm / PBS / LSF)

  • Parallel filesystem operations experience (Lustre / GPFS / BeeGFS)

  • Advanced Linux performance analysis (perf, eBPF, ftrace) and kernel parameter tuning

  • DB operations experience (MySQL, ClickHouse)

  • Low-latency network tuning and cross-datacenter link optimization

  • LLM application development (LangChain, RAG, Agent, MCP)

  • Self-managed Kubernetes experience (Kubespray, kubeadm)

  • GPU server operations (single-node): NVIDIA driver / CUDA toolkit version management, nvidia-smi / DCGM monitoring, nvidia-container-toolkit integration, troubleshooting XID / ECC errors and thermal throttling

  • Experience or familiarity with integrating GPU resources into Slurm: GRES configuration, cgroup-based GPU isolation, user/job-level resource limits
