Position Overview

We are seeking a Staff AI Scheduling & Orchestration Engineer to lead the workload placement logic that defines our AI-native NeoCloud platform. Standard Kubernetes scheduling is insufficient for the demands of large-scale AI; you will be responsible for eliminating "GPU stranding" and maximizing utilization across our expensive compute fleets. This role is pivotal in building a high-performance scheduling fabric that understands the physical realities of our hardwarefrom NVLink-connected GPU topologies to InfiniBand interconnects. You will work at the intersection of distributed systems and AI, driving the architectural decisions that enable our platform to handle massive-scale distributed training and inference jobs with industry-leading efficiency.

Key Responsibilities

• Design and implement advanced batch scheduling architectures using frameworks like Volcano or YuniKorn to support multi-node gang scheduling.
• Develop and manage cluster-wide admission control and sophisticated job queueing mechanisms utilizing Kueue to manage high-volume AI workload traffic.
• Leverage Kubernetes Dynamic Resource Allocation (DRA) and custom scheduler plugins to manage complex accelerator requests natively.
• Architect topology-aware pod placement strategies that optimize for low-latency communication via NVLink and InfiniBand fabrics.
• Implement automated GPU sharing technologies (e.g., MIG, time-slicing) and multi-tenancy isolation policies to maximize cluster-wide utilization.
• Collaborate with the GPU Systems and Storage teams to ensure the scheduling layer is tightly integrated with bare-metal hardware and storage I/O patterns.
• Drive the reliability and scalability of the scheduling stack, resolving resource contention and deadlock scenarios in large-scale HPC environments.
• Mentor junior engineers and conduct design reviews to maintain architectural excellence in our orchestration layer.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related field.
• 6+ years of distributed systems engineering, with deep, hands-on expertise in Kubernetes scheduling frameworks and orchestrators.
• Extensive experience with AI workload execution patterns and distributed training frameworks (e.g., PyTorch Distributed, Ray, MPI).
• Proven track record of operating, debugging, and scaling scheduling stacks in high-performance computing (HPC) or large-scale production cloud environments.
• Strong knowledge of GPU hardware architectures and the specific scheduling challenges related to distributed AI training and inference.
• Experience with infrastructure automation and infrastructure-as-code (e.g., Terraform, Go-based Operators).
• Excellent technical communication and leadership skills; ability to influence cross-functional teams and align architectural goals.
• Ability to work in a high-velocity engineering environment and translate complex, ambiguous requirements into concrete, scalable engineering solutions.
