Job Description:
Key Responsibilities
- Divisional Field to Engineering Leadership: Act as the primary technical authority bridging core engineering, product management executive leadership, and C level enterprise customer architects.
- Strategic Architecture & Reference Design: Architect, scale, and validate production grade vSphere Kubernetes Service (VKS) and VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) topologies for high consequence, mission critical, and highly regulated deployments.
- Enterprise AI & Distributed Inferencing Acceleration: Design and deploy production systems for real time LLM inferencing, Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) pipelines, and distributed AI runtime frameworks across high density GPU clusters.
- Large Scale Migration Strategy: Lead end to end technical migration strategies transitioning massive legacy bare metal systems, risk calculation platforms, heavy stateful engines, and fragmented AI workloads to unified cloud native Kubernetes targets.
- Mission Critical Problem Solving & Code Contribution: Directly engineer high value prototype integrations, write production operators/CRDs in the field to unblock strategic accounts, and upstream those contributions directly into core ISG codebases.
- Product Strategy & Roadmap Influence: Systematically synthesize complex customer pain points, field workarounds, and architectural patterns into concrete product requirements. Partner with VP/Director level Product Managers to prioritize features that shorten software iteration cycles from months to days across the global product suite.
- Complex Stateful & AI Data Fabric: Set technical patterns for containerizing, tuning, and orchestrating heavy distributed systems, including streaming platforms (Kafka, Pulsar), vector databases (Milvus, Qdrant), in memory grids (Coherence, Redis), and advanced AI data/compute engines (Ray, vLLM, Spark, Flink).
- Multi Cloud & Competitive Interoperability: Define cross platform integration strategies for clients operating mixed environments across competing distributions (Red Hat OpenShift, EKS, GKE, AKS, Rancher).
- Technical Mentorship & Practice Building: Establish best in class deployment standards, GitOps frameworks, and CAPI/Operator patterns across the broader FDE organization; mentor Senior and Staff FDEs to elevate team wide execution capabilities.
Key Qualifications
- Principal Level Engineering Stature: 10+ years of software engineering experience with 5+ years driving high consequence infrastructure, distributed systems, AI platforms, or Kubernetes architectures at scale. Demonstrated alignment with core R&D/Product Engineering organizations.
- Strategic Customer Authority: Proven ability to command technical credibility with C suite stakeholders (CTOs, VP of Infra, Chief AI Officers) while remaining deeply hands on in production code with staff level customer engineers.
- Deep Kubernetes & Cloud Native Primitives: Authority level mastery of Kubernetes internal mechanics, Custom Resource Definitions (CRDs), Kubernetes Operators, Cluster API (CAPI), and GitOps architecture (ArgoCD, Flux).
- AI & GPU Infrastructure Fluency: Extensive experience architecting high throughput AI inferencing pipelines, virtualized GPU environments (NVIDIA vGPU, MIG, GPUDirect RDMA), model serving frameworks (vLLM, TGI, Triton), and distributed inference topologies.
- Distributed Stateful Systems Expertise: Proven track record architecting and running high throughput, low latency stateful workloads on Kubernetes:
- AI Serving & Distributed Compute: Ray, vLLM, SGLang, LeaderWorkerSets (LWS), vLLM-Orchestrator.
- Vector & NoSQL Databases: Milvus, Qdrant, Pinecone, Apache Cassandra, ScyllaDB.
- In Memory & Caching: Oracle Coherence, Hazelcast, Redis, Apache Ignite.
- Messaging & Streaming: Apache Kafka, RabbitMQ, Pulsar.
- Data & Analytics Engines: Apache Spark, Apache Flink, Dask, Trino/Presto.
- Legacy to Cloud Native Migration Track Record: Deep experience untangling complex enterprise monoliths, mainframe/bare metal environments, and siloed AI hardware deployments to construct seamless zero downtime migration pathways.
- Systems & Platform Code Proficiency: Hands on experience developing in Go, Python, or Java for systems level infrastructure, Kubernetes controllers, custom AI wrappers, or automation frameworks.
- Cross Distribution Architecture: Comprehensive technical fluency across competing enterprise distributions (OpenShift, EKS, GKE, AKS, Rancher RKE/RKS) and their underlying networking (CSI/CNI, RDMA, InfiniBand, RoCEv2) and storage abstractions.
