About the position
We are seeking a highly skilled AI Infrastructure & Kubernetes Platform Engineer with a proven track record in deploying and managing NVIDIA DGX-based AI clusters, orchestrating containerized AI workloads using Kubernetes, and ensuring secure, high-throughput operations across InfiniBand-powered networks. The ideal candidate will hold a combination of Kubernetes certifications (CKA, CKAD, CKS) and NVIDIA certifications (NCA-AIIO, NCP-AIO, NCP-AII, NCP-AIN), coupled with hands-on training in DGX, BlueField, and high-speed network operations. This position plays a key role in supporting AI/ML infrastructure at scale, enabling efficient training and inference for complex models, and integrating NVIDIA's cutting-edge compute, storage, and fabric solutions with modern DevOps practices.
Responsibilities
• Deploy and manage NVIDIA DGX BasePODs and SuperPODs for high-performance AI workloads.
• Oversee DGX system lifecycle operations including provisioning, monitoring, firmware upgrades, and capacity planning.
• Operate Base Command Manager to manage GPU clusters, schedule workloads, and integrate with MLOps tools.
• Perform DGX node health validation, NCCL interconnect testing, and NVLink topology verification following new deployments or hardware changes.
• Architect secure and scalable Kubernetes clusters optimized for GPU-accelerated workloads using NVIDIA GPU Operator.
• Leverage expertise from CKA/CKAD/CKS to develop, deploy, and secure AI applications on Kubernetes.
• Implement CI/CD pipelines and GitOps methodologies for deploying and managing ML workflows.
• Administer InfiniBand networks and BlueField DPUs using Unified Fabric Manager (UFM).
• Enable NVLink/NVSwitch performance across GPU nodes and tune fabric configurations for minimal latency and maximum throughput.
• Use BlueField for offloading storage, firewalling, and telemetry, enhancing AI workload security and performance.
• Apply best practices from the CKS certification to secure containerized AI environments.
• Configure runtime security, secrets management, network segmentation, and auditing using DPU-enhanced Kubernetes deployments.
• Support zero-trust architecture initiatives by enforcing workload identity, RBAC policies, and supply chain integrity across AI container images and model artifacts.
• Monitor GPU, CPU, and I/O performance using NVIDIA DCGM, Prometheus, Grafana, and Base Command APIs.
• Tune system performance and model training pipelines for cost-efficiency and throughput.
• Build and maintain operational runbooks, incident response playbooks, and SLA reporting dashboards covering GPU utilization, thermal thresholds, and fabric health.
Requirements
• NVIDIA Certification required or no interview
• Kubernetes certifications (CKA, CKAD, CKS)
• NVIDIA certifications (NCA-AIIO, NCP-AIO, NCP-AII, NCP-AIN)
• Hands-on training in DGX, BlueField, and high-speed network operations
• Expertise with DGX System, BasePOD, and SuperPOD Administration
• Expertise with BlueField DPU Configuration & Operations
• Expertise with InfiniBand Fabric and UFM Management
• Expertise with Base Command Manager for workload orchestration
