As an AI Engineer on the Special Programs Supercomputing team, you will design and build deterministic, foolproof tooling for engineers operating in classified environments. Your daily responsibilities include building the deployment generator, bundle pipeline, and testing and validation framework while maintaining platform documentation. You will implement profile-driven rendering for public cloud, enterprise on-prem, and classified air-gap targets, and manage the cross-profile CI matrix. The role requires integrating with existing operators, Helm charts, and CRDs to own the monitoring stack migration. You must possess skills in Go Lang, Python, and Kubernetes for scaling containerized applications. Technical requirements include experience with CI/CD pipelines, Infrastructure-as-Code using Pulumi or Terraform, Linux systems, and GPU infrastructure including NVIDIA drivers, CUDA, and InfiniBand/RoCE networking for disconnected deployment tooling.
