About the role

Our customers run multi-day training jobs on spot and preemptible GPUs to save money, and they lose hours of progress every time a node disappears. Xivio Solutions already handles capacity planning and scheduling; the missing piece is fast, automatic recovery. You'll build it: asynchronous checkpointing that doesn't stall training, elastic resumption on a different number of GPUs, and smart rescheduling across AWS and Azure capacity pools. You'll work with a team of five infra engineers and be the technical owner of recovery end to end.

Fully remote.

Responsibilities

  • Design asynchronous, sharded checkpointing for large distributed training jobs
  • Build elastic resume so jobs restart on whatever capacity is available
  • Own recovery time and wasted-GPU-hours metrics across all customer clusters
  • Drive adoption with customer ML teams through docs, examples and office hours

Requirements

  • Significant experience with distributed training (FSDP, DeepSpeed or similar)
  • Strong Kubernetes and cloud infrastructure background on AWS or Azure
  • Comfortable debugging NCCL, storage throughput and scheduler issues
  • History of owning reliability-critical systems

Benefits

  • Remote in the US
  • Salary at the top of market plus equity
  • Unlimited PTO with a 4-week minimum
  • Premium health coverage
  • Annual hardware refresh
