Job details

Cluster & SRE Cluster Site Reliability Engineer Own the physical reality of the platform in one of our seven regions. You bring up new GPU racks, validate InfiniBand fabric end-to-end, and keep the cluster running at the SLA. This is a hands-on role; you will see the hardware. Apply by email All open roles Team Cluster & SRE Location On-site Cologix region of choice (Toronto, Montréal, Columbus, Vancouver, Ashburn) Type Full-time IC4–IC6 Stack LinuxInfiniBand (NDR / XDR)NCCL / RCCLKubernetes (host-level)TerraformPrometheus / GrafanaGo or Python Apply by email Hiring manager replies within 5 business days. The team About The Team Cluster SRE is six engineers across the seven regions. Each region has a primary and a secondary; you will be one of those for your region. The team coordinates daily, deploys weekly, and rotates a global pager. Reports to the head of cluster engineering. Primary on a single region; rotates secondary for one neighboring region. The role What you'll do 01 Bring up new B200 / B300 / MI300X racks: cabling, ToR config, NCCL/RCCL all-reduce validation, MFU baseline tests. 02 Drive InfiniBand fabric to spec — NDR / XDR depending on the rack — and chase residual bit-error budget down to zero. 03 Run capacity planning across seven regions: forecast demand, model power and thermal headroom, work with procurement on lead times. 04 Own the regional incident response. P1 incidents page within fifteen minutes; resolution target is four hours. 05 Build and maintain the bring-up runbook so the second hire after you can do their first rack solo. 06 Carry the global pager about one week per six, alongside runtime and customer engineering. The bar What we're looking for Five-plus years operating large compute clusters — supercomputing centers, hyperscaler infra, or HPC at a national lab count. Deep InfiniBand and Ethernet RoCE experience: subnet manager tuning, fabric debugging, lossless networking. Strong Linux fundamentals: kernel parameters, NUMA topology, kernel cgroup limits. Comfort writing Go or Python for tooling. We are not strict about which. Calm under load. You will be the named person on a $50M-ARR account when something goes wrong. Bonus Nice to have, not required DGX H100 / H200 / B200 bring-up history. Experience with NVIDIA Bright / Base Command Manager. Bare-metal provisioning systems: Tinkerbell, MAAS, Razor, or in-house equivalents. Procurement / vendor management experience. Compensation In writing, like everything else We publish bands. We meet them. The number you see on the offer is the same number your future peers got at the same level. We do not negotiate; we level. Base $210,000 – $340,000 USD (US Cologix regions) / equivalent in CA. Equity Meaningful early-stage equity, refreshed on tenure milestones. Notes On-site pay differential at Cologix regions outside SF / NYC / Bay Area is +5–10% to compensate for travel.
