Infrastructure Engineer - AI/ML Platform

We’re seeking a Senior Infrastructure Engineer to build and operate the platform underlying secure AI test and evaluation capabilities for Government teams assessing AI systems.

You’ll own a Kubernetes-based platform supporting demanding AI/ML workloads, including GPU scheduling, large-scale data movement, reproducible test execution, and multi-tenant isolation. The platform must operate reliably within Government environments that may have restricted networks, accreditation boundaries, limited connectivity, and no assumption of outbound internet access or managed cloud services.

You’ll use open-source technologies such as OpenTofu, Terraform, Helm, Argo CD, Kubernetes operators, and Nebari to build reusable and composable infrastructure. You’ll also own platform reliability, observability, capacity planning, upgrade paths, hardened configurations, and the documentation needed to deploy and maintain the platform.

This is a fully remote, U.S.-based role working with a distributed team that relies heavily on asynchronous communication., * Build and operate the Kubernetes platform supporting AI test and evaluation frameworks

• Implement GPU scheduling, workload orchestration, resource management, and multi-tenant isolation across evaluation teams
• Design infrastructure-as-code, GitOps workflows, and automated deployment pipelines that make the platform reproducible from source
• Develop reusable and modular infrastructure components that can be composed into independently owned and operated platforms
• Contribute to Nebari and other open-source Kubernetes, infrastructure, and MLOps projects used by the platform
• Own platform reliability, including capacity planning, upgrade strategies, failure-mode analysis, backup and recovery considerations, and operational readiness
• Design and implement observability, monitoring, logging, tracing, and alerting for large-scale AI/ML workloads
• Develop operational runbooks and documentation that enable other engineers to deploy, operate, and troubleshoot the platform
• Deploy, configure, and harden infrastructure within secure, restricted, disconnected, or limited-connectivity Government environments
• Support security authorization and compliance activities through infrastructure documentation, hardened configurations, control evidence, and repeatable deployment processes
• Integrate automated security tooling for container scanning, static and dynamic analysis, artifact signing, and policy enforcement
• Collaborate with Government stakeholders, security personnel, software engineers, and ML engineers to translate platform requirements into reliable infrastructure
• Provide technical leadership, contribute to engineering standards, and mentor less-experienced team members
• Collaborate effectively within a remote and distributed team using asynchronous communication practices, Design, build, and operate large-scale on-prem Kubernetes platforms (OpenShift/Anthos) for AI/ML and GPU workloads. Own control plane and etcd lifecycle, build controllers/operators in Go, automate via IaC, improve observability and resource utilization, enable ML training/inference/LLM deployments, participate in on-call incident response, and mentor engineers.

Every organization runs on intelligence: years of accumulated knowledge, decisions, and context. As AI takes on more of that work, companies face a choice: rent that intelligence from vendors who keep the data, the context, and the results, or own it. OpenTeams exists to make ownership possible. Founded by Travis Oliphant, creator of NumPy and SciPy, and built by people with deep roots across the open-source ecosystem, including NumPy, SciPy, PyTorch, and Jupyter, we help enterprises and governments build AI they control, govern, and evolve themselves. If that sounds like your kind of work, we’d like to meet you.
