Clear written notes, concise updates, and reliable follow-through. Able to explain technical issues accurately to customers and colleagues, and produce handovers the next shift can act on immediately. * GPU and hardware troubleshooting. Working knowledge of GPU infrastructure: hands-on with nvidia-smi or similar diagnostics, comfortable interpreting hardware error output and logs, and confident physically troubleshooting servers - reseating components, swap testing, working via BMC/out-of-band management - through to preparing RMA evidence. A strong technical base here is required, not a learning goal. * Linux. Solid working knowledge: confident on the CLI with systemd, filesystems, permissions, and standard networking tools. Able to troubleshoot common issues independently and know when to escalate. * Networking. Solid grasp of IP addressing, subnets, VLANs, routing, DNS, and firewalls. Awareness of high-performance east-west fabrics (RDMA/InfiniBand concepts) is a plus and a core growth area in this role. * Ticketing and ITSM discipline. Experience working within structured support processes (ITIL or similar): prioritisation, escalation, SLA awareness, and accurate documentation. * Observability foundations. Able to use dashboards and alerts to identify symptoms, gather evidence, and follow runbooks. Comfortable proposing simple alert or dashboard improvements with review. * Scripting and automation basics. Comfortable reading and writing simple Bash or Python, and using Git for version control. * Platform and DC fundamentals. Understanding of servers, networks, storage, and virtualisation concepts, ideally from a support or operations background. * Growth mindset. Curious, dependable, and collaborative. You seek feedback, ask questions, and invest in learning to progress toward Senior. * Adaptability. Able to work in a fast-moving environment with evolving processes, participate in on-call after onboarding, and travel when needed., * High-performance fabrics and GPU-HPC: exposure to RDMA/InfiniBand, link-level diagnostics (mlxlink, ibdiagnet, or equivalent), NCCL-based troubleshooting, or NVLink concepts. * High-performance storage: exposure to VAST or comparable AI-optimised storage platforms, Ceph, or NFS at scale, including basic storage-network troubleshooting. * OpenStack and fleet operations tooling: familiarity with OpenStack troubleshooting flows, or fleet-scale tooling for provisioning and health (MAAS, NetBox, Redfish, or similar). * Kubernetes: understanding of core concepts (nodes, pods, services, logs) and basic troubleshooting via runbooks. Helpful context for our platform, though not the core of this role. * Automation and access tooling: experience with Ansible or Terraform, CI/CD participation (GitHub Actions or similar), or access and security tooling such as Teleport or Vault. * Certifications: progress toward relevant Linux, networking, Kubernetes, cloud, or security certifications over time. ## Description Infrastructure Support Engineers are the delivery engine of Infrastructure Support (L2/L3), handling the day-to-day health of Nscale's GPU fleets - tickets, alerts, hardware faults, and customer issues - across GPU nodes, high-performance networks, Linux, and data centre operations. This is a hands-on technical role: you'll come in with a strong technical base and working knowledge of GPU infrastructure, and grow toward Senior through exposure to some of the most advanced AI infrastructure in the world. You will: * Own your tickets and tasks end-to-end, escalating early and appropriately when issues exceed your scope - with clean, evidence-rich handovers. * Communicate technical detail clearly, specifically, and concisely - in tickets, to customers, and to colleagues. We treat communication quality as a core engineering skill, not a soft skill. * Grasp new technical concepts and problems quickly; stay curious and know what questions to ask to get up to speed fast. * Bring discipline and organisation: accurate records, structured troubleshooting, reliable follow-through. * Seek feedback and invest in learning - this role is a deliberate pathway to Senior., * Join the Support duty rotation and handle day-to-day tickets and alerts, escalating early and appropriately. Collaborate with Engineering, with guidance, when incidents or changes require it. * Perform GPU node triage and hardware troubleshooting: interpret nvidia-smi/DCGM output and system logs, isolate faults across GPU, NIC, and server hardware, carry out physical remediation (reseats, swap testing, component checks), and prepare clean evidence for vendor RMA. * Run fabric and link diagnostics following established runbooks (mlxlink or equivalent), capture evidence accurately, and escalate with a handover that lets the next engineer continue without starting from scratch. * Assist with storage and data-path investigations (mounts, connectivity, client-side symptoms) on high-performance platforms, gathering evidence for Senior or Engineering-led diagnosis. * Follow established runbooks to resolve common issues; propose improvements and contribute incremental fixes with review. * Accurately record, update, manage, and resolve tickets, keeping all parties informed with clear notes, next steps, and customer communications via the agreed channels. * Participate in monitoring, troubleshooting, and triage. Capture logs and facts to enable efficient handover. * Participate in changes under peer review, learning risk assessment and backout practices in live customer environments. * Help maintain source-of-truth accuracy across DCIM, inventory, and asset records (NetBox or similar patterns). * Identify opportunities for automation and contribute simple scripts and tooling improvements to optimise processes. * Be the escalation point for onsite DC Operations staff; coordinate smart-hands tasks within your scope. * Learn the Platform fundamentals so you can help customers get value from our services, asking for support when deeper expertise is needed. * Share knowledge by documenting steps you've validated and contributing to training materials. Shadow Seniors during complex work to build capability. * Take part in incident reviews as a contributor and help track preventative follow-ups in your scope. * Deliver assigned tasks and project work to agreed quality and timelines. Flag blockers early and seek help when needed. * Participate in on-call and out-of-hours work when scheduled and after onboarding. Travel to Nscale or customer locations to assist with deployments, troubleshooting, and operational tasks, and attend supplier training as required., The responsibilities outlined in this job description are not exhaustive and are intended to provide a general overview of the position. The employee may be required to perform additional duties, tasks, and responsibilities as assigned by management, consistent with the skills and qualifications required for the role. ## Related Videos - [Shipping Faster with Less: Render on Cloud Hosting, AI Workloads, and the Future of DevOps](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1894-shipping-faster-with-less-render-on-cloud-hosting-ai-workloads-and-the-future-of-devops) - [Innovating Developer Tools with AI: Insights from GitHub Next](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1268-innovating-developer-tools-with-ai-insights-from-github-next) - [Docker network without Docker](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1418-docker-network-without-docker) - [How a Small Team Shrank a Microsoft Monorepo by 94%](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1236-how-a-small-team-shrank-a-microsoft-monorepo-by-94) - [Running Secure Life Science Research at Scale using Hybrid GPU HPC and Kubernetes 🧬](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100355-running-secure-life-science-research-at-scale-using-hybrid-gpu-hpc-and-kubernetes) - [Bringing AI Model Testing and Prompt Management to Your Codebase with GitHub Models](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1536-bringing-ai-model-testing-and-prompt-management-to-your-codebase-with-github-models) ## Related Articles - [How We Built a Worry-Free System That Runs for 10+ Years – And What We’d Do Again](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/751-how-we-built-a-worry-free-system-that-runs-for-10-years-and-what-we-d-do-again) - [Best US AI Conferences for CTOs in 2026: Build vs. Buy, Vendor Evaluation, and Peer Intelligence](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/736-best-us-ai-conferences-for-ctos-in-2026-build-vs-buy-vendor-evaluation-and-peer-intelligence) - [7 Cloud Computing Trends Coming in 2025 for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/412-7-cloud-computing-trends-coming-in-2025-for-developers) - [Highest Paying Tech Companies for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/220-highest-paying-tech-companies-for-developers) - [6 Emerging Technologies We’ll Learn About in 2025](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/381-6-emerging-technologies-we-ll-learn-about-in-2025) - [A Guide to Green Tech and Green IT Careers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/374-a-guide-to-green-tech-and-green-it-careers)
