TL;DR · AI Instinct System Management Architect

The AI Instinct System Management Architect will define and drive the architecture for system management and observability across AI datacenter platforms. This role involves developing a unified architecture for rack-scale and pod-scale management, spanning firmware, operating systems, rack controllers, and orchestration layers. The architect will build manageability solutions including BMC/BSP, APIs, and telemetry frameworks while ensuring compatibility with industry standards like Redfish and DMTF profiles. Key responsibilities include enabling lifecycle management workflows such as discovery, provisioning, and firmware upgrades across clusters. The position requires expertise in BMC firmware stacks, platform security, and management networking, alongside experience with PCIe, CXL, NVMe interconnects, and cluster schedulers like Kubernetes or Slurm. Candidates should possess programming skills in C/C++, Python, or Go and knowledge of telemetry stacks like Prometheus or OpenTelemetry.

What you'll do

  • Define and drive the architecture for system management and observability across AI datacenter platforms.
  • Develop a unified architecture for rack-scale and pod-scale management from firmware to orchestration layers.
  • Deliver manageability solutions including BMC/BSP, rack/pod controllers, and APIs.
  • Develop standards-based interfaces and telemetry frameworks using Redfish and DMTF protocols.
  • Enable lifecycle management workflows for discovery, provisioning, firmware upgrades, and decommissioning across racks.
  • Collaborate with customers to align designs with DCIM/ITSM environments and lead proof-of-concepts.
  • Produce architectural collateral, reference designs, and integration guides for customer readiness.
  • Influence product strategy by developing customer-backed roadmaps optimized for AI workloads.

What we're looking for

  • Expert background in systems or platform software architecture with a focus on system management and server manageability.
  • Deep expertise in BMC firmware stacks, telemetry, inventory, alerting, and management protocols.
  • Strong knowledge of DMTF standards (MCTP, PLDM, SPDM, Redfish), platform security, and management networking.
  • Experience with PCIe, CXL, NVMe interconnects and cluster schedulers like Kubernetes or Slurm.
  • Proven ability to combine technical leadership with customer engagement for scalable AI datacenter deployments.
  • Experience with GPU/accelerator platforms (preferred).
  • Familiarity with telemetry stacks such as Prometheus, Loki, ELK, or OpenTelemetry (preferred).
  • Strong programming skills in C/C++ and Python/Go with solid Linux systems experience (preferred).
