• Support and operate GPU-enabled Kubernetes clusters and standalone Linux compute environments to keep scheduling and performance efficient
• Deliver and maintain Volcano job scheduling, including queue setup, POD execution, GPU allocation, and namespace quota enforcement
• Handle Kubernetes administration end-to-end, covering namespaces, RBAC, resource quotas, and workload isolation approaches
• Implement Python and Shell automation to simplify job submission, resource provisioning, and system reporting
• Work with orchestration, optimization, and observability teams to increase scheduling efficiency, capacity utilization, and researcher workflows
• Review platform health and resource usage, sharing data and feedback to meet optimization and reporting needs
• Drive recommendations for infrastructure, tooling, and automation workflow improvements to boost performance, scalability, and usability
• Ensure researchers have a smooth experience running diverse AI and computational workloads through reliable operations
