• Build and operate high-performance inference and platform services that deliver low-latency, high-throughput experiences for Generative AI and Agentic AI applications.
• Design and optimize critical system components across the stack, including distributed systems, storage, networking, and low-level infrastructure layers.
• Develop and enhance multi-tenant platform services supporting on-premises, hybrid, and cloud-based AI deployments.
• Design and implement scalable observability architectures using technologies such as Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog, OpenTelemetry, and related cloud-native monitoring frameworks.
• Debug complex production issues, perform root-cause analysis, and improve reliability, resiliency, and operational efficiency of platform services.
• Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines and deployment automation to accelerate delivery of production-grade services.
• Design and implement foundational LLM serving capabilities including request routing, rate limiting, token streaming, load balancing, quota management, and usage budgeting.
• Collaborate closely with globally distributed product management, AI, and software engineering teams to deliver high-quality products in a fast-paced environment.
• Contribute to all stages of the product lifecycle, including architecture, design, development, testing, experimentation, performance analysis, deployment, and operations.
• Leverage and contribute to relevant open-source cloud-native and AI ecosystem projects.
• Review code and design documents, provide feedback on product requirements, and champion engineering excellence across the team.
• Continuously evaluate emerging technologies and help shape the technical direction of Nutanix's Enterprise AI Platform.
