About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Lead bring-up, validation, and debugging of large-scale AI clusters, infrastructure, and end-to-end workloads, setting the standard for how the team operates.
Bring up, tune, and benchmark AI pre-training, post-training, and inference workloads using PyTorch, NeMo / Megatron, TensorRT-LLM, and adjacent NVIDIA AI software stacks.
Profile and optimize end-to-end workload performance across compute, memory, networking, and communication layers using tools such as Nsight Systems, NCCL tests, and custom microbenchmarks.
Analyze scaling efficiency for distributed LLM workloads using data, tensor, pipeline, and expert parallelism across modern GPU clusters, and translate findings into concrete tuning guidance.
Own root-cause analysis of complex failures — hangs, performance regressions, topology sensitivity in large distributed environments.
Define and build the resilience and failure-attribution stack: detecting, triaging, and attributing node, fabric, and workload failures across the cluster at scale.
Build repeatable benchmark suites, automation, acceptance criteria, and qualification workflows on new platforms.
Tune runtime settings, communication parameters, and deployment configurations in close partnership with framework, systems, and platform teams.
Deliver actionable, data-driven recommendations based on profiling, benchmark results, and cluster characterization.
Mentor engineers, drive technical standards, and act as a force multiplier across the broader performance and infrastructure organization.
