- Collaborate with the Sesterce OS team to align Slurm and Kubernetes with topology and scheduling requirements
- Support commercial negotiations with BoM estimates, lead times, and technical risk assessments
Requirements
- 5+ years in HPC or AI infrastructure, with direct involvement in GPU cluster design or technical pre-sales
- Hands-on familiarity with NVIDIA Hopper and Blackwell GPU architectures, NVLink, NVSwitch, and multi-rail InfiniBand
- Ability to interpret AI workload performance profiles and map them to hardware
- Strong written communication
- Background at or with cloud providers, HPC centers, or AI infrastructure vendors is a strong plus
