As a Sr. AI Engineer on the Special Programs Supercomputing team, you will design and build deterministic, foolproof tooling for engineers operating in classified environments. Your primary responsibilities include building the deployment generator, bundle pipeline, and testing and validation framework. You will implement profile-driven rendering for public cloud, enterprise on-prem, and classified air-gap targets while maintaining the cross-profile CI matrix and monitoring stack migration. The role requires proficiency in Go Lang and Python, along with extensive experience using Kubernetes for scaling containerized applications. You will utilize Infrastructure-as-Code tools like Pulumi or Terraform, manage container images, and work with GPU infrastructure including NVIDIA drivers and CUDA. This role solves the technical challenge of creating reliable, pre-staged deployment tooling for disconnected and air-gapped supercomputing systems.
