+ Minimum 4+ years’ experience with orchestration and management frameworks (Slurm, Kubernetes, Docker) and performance/monitoring tools for AI/HPC environments
+ Minimum 4+ years’ experience of MLOps, DevSecOps, and automation principles (Terraform, Ansible) as they apply to large-scale, secure, and reproducible workflows
+ Bachelor's degree or equivalent (minimum 12 years) work experience.

(If Associate’s Degree, must have minimum 6 years work experience)


​

Preferred Skills and Qualifications:
+ Experience advising or overseeing large-scale AI/HPC deployments (1,000+ GPUs or clusters of 100+ servers), providing architecture and strategic guidance
+ Familiarity with GPU computing and accelerator ecosystems (NVIDIA CUDA, AMD ROCm) and integration considerations for HPC/AI workloads
+ Knowledge of AI/ML frameworks (TensorFlow, PyTorch) and their operational and performance implications in HPC/AI environments
+ Industry experience in Life Sciences, Resources, Automotive, Financial Services, Telecommunications, or other HPC/AI-intensive sectors
