Kubernetes Solutions Engineer Jobs (NOW HIRING)

Job Summary:
INSPYR Solutions is a national expert in delivering flexible technology and talent solutions. They are seeking an HPC Kubernetes Solutions Architect to act as a trusted advisor to customers, guiding them through the design, integration, and adoption of GPU-accelerated Kubernetes platforms for high-performance computing and AI/ML workloads.
Responsibilities:
• Act as the primary architectural point of contact for customers adopting GPU-accelerated Kubernetes platforms for HPC and AI/ML workloads.
• Partner with customers to capture workload requirements, performance objectives, scaling needs, and integration constraints, translating them into reference architectures and actionable solution designs.
• Architect and operate Kubernetes clusters optimized for GPU workloads, leveraging NVIDIA
• Integrate and tune Multi-Instance GPU (MIG), GPU sharing, and scheduler extensions (e.g., Volcano, Slurm integration, kube-scheduler plugins) to maximize efficiency in multi-tenant environments.
• Develop or extend custom Kubernetes operators and controllers in Go/Python to automate HPC infrastructure services.
• Design and recommend secure multi-tenant Kubernetes environments, implementing RBAC, OPA/Gatekeeper policies, namespace isolation, and workload quotas.
• Lead proof-of-concept and benchmarking engagements, using profiling tools, workload characterization, and telemetry to validate solution performance and scalability.
• Define and document integration strategies across compute, storage, networking, and orchestration layers, including CNI plugins (NVIDIA CNI, Multus, Cilium), storage systems (Lustre, GPFS, Ceph, VAST), and container runtimes (containerd, NVIDIA Container Toolkit).
• Drive observability and monitoring solutions with Prometheus, Grafana, DCGM Exporter, and OpenTelemetry, ensuring visibility into GPU health, cluster utilization, and workload performance.
• Support GitOps-driven CI/CD pipelines for Kubernetes infrastructure using ArgoCD, FluxCD, Helm, and Kustomize.
• Collaborate with HPC, ML, and DevOps teams to validate performance and scalability in hybrid or on-premise environments.
• Provide architectural leadership during onboarding and deployment, ensuring successful integration of Kubernetes clusters with HPC schedulers and enterprise IT systems.
• Build and maintain strategic relationships with ecosystem vendors (e.g., NVIDIA, Cisco, storage partners), incorporating emerging technologies into customer environments.
• Share future insights with customers on GPU roadmaps, interconnect advancements (e.g., InfiniBand, RoCE, NVLink), and container orchestration trends.
• Represent the organization in customer design sessions, technical workshops, and industry conferences, positioning yourself as a thought leader in Kubernetes for HPC.
Qualifications:
Required:
• Extensive experience in Kubernetes architecture and operations for HPC or GPU-intensive environments.
• Strong technical expertise in NVIDIA GPU stack (GPU Operator, device plugins, MIG, NVML, DCGM).
• Kubernetes internals (CRDs, RBAC, scheduler extensions, custom operators/controllers).
• Distributed and parallel storage integration with Kubernetes for HPC workloads.
• High-performance networking (InfiniBand, RDMA, RoCE) in containerized environments.
• Proven ability to design scalable, secure, and resilient Kubernetes-based architectures for HPC and AI/ML use cases.
• Proficiency in Go or Python for Kubernetes operator or controller development.
• Experience with workload profiling, benchmarking, and performance tuning.
• Strong customer engagement skills, capable of translating requirements into actionable architectures and presenting solutions effectively.
• Collaborative mindset with experience working across engineering, product, and operations teams.
Preferred:
• Demonstrated success in end-to-end customer solution delivery, from requirements discovery to deployment and adoption.
• Familiarity with containerized HPC environments (e.g., Singularity/Apptainer).
• Exposure to automation and GitOps practices for Kubernetes platform management (e.g., ArgoCD, FluxCD).
• Contributions to open-source projects in the Kubernetes or NVIDIA ecosystem.
• Experience advising on future adoption strategies, helping customers prepare for emerging GPU, interconnect, and orchestration technologies.
• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Physics, or related technical field.
• Relevant Kubernetes and container certifications such as CKA, CKAD, or CKS, alongside cloud certifications like AWS Solutions Architect or Azure Solutions Architect Expert.
