Job Description & How to Apply Below
Position: Senior/Staff Infrastructure Engineer

You are a hands-on engineer who builds the software and processes that keep a large fleet of GPU servers healthy and productive. You write systems and tooling for managing 1000s of servers including provisioning, health monitoring, error detection, and recovery — and when something breaks that automation can’t fix, you drive resolution with partners.

Key responsibilities
  • Build and maintain Python fleet tracking system that manages the full lifecycle of servers including contracting and procurement, target use, pricing, availability, health, RMAs, etc
  • Build server management tooling that automates provisioning, health checks, GPU diagnostics, recovery and alerting
  • Create and maintain metrics, dashboards, and alerting for hardware health across the fleet (GPU errors, disk failures, network issues, thermals)
  • Leverage AI to an extreme level to build tools and automate alerting and recovery
  • Implement and enforce OS-level security: hardening baselines, SELinux/App Armor policies, SSH key management, vulnerability scanning, and compliance automation
  • Manage and optimize distributed and local storage systems supporting model weights, checkpoints, and ephemeral scratch: NVMe arrays, NFS, parallel file systems, and object storage
  • Tune Linux systems for AI workloads: kernel parameters, NUMA topology, CPU pinning, hugepages, I/O schedulers, and GPU driver stack optimization (NVIDIA drivers, CUDA, container runtimes)
  • Develop a suite of automated error detection and recovery processes
  • Work with partners to solve technical issues
Requirements
  • 5+ years experience managing bare-metal and VM server fleets at scale (100+ nodes)
  • Strong software engineering skills in Python; you write production tooling, not scripts
  • Deep Linux systems knowledge: boot process, kernel tuning, networking, storage, systemd, cgroups, name spaces, performance profiling
  • Strong experience with configuration management and infrastructure-as-code:
    Ansible, Terraform, cloud-init
  • Solid understanding of storage technologies: LVM, RAID, NVMe, NFS, Lustre or GPFS, and Linux I/O stack tuning
  • Familiarity with hardware diagnostics and failure modes (GPUs, NVMe, NICs, memory)
  • Experience building internal tools or dashboards for infrastructure visibility
  • Excellent communication and ability to drive technical decisions across teams
  • Self-starter who executes quickly, takes ownership, and constantly seeks improvement
Nice to have
  • Familiarity with network configuration and diagnostics (VLAN, VXLAN, ECMP, BGP, tcpdump)
  • Experience with NVIDIA GPU infrastructure: driver management, health monitoring, DCGM, NVLink/NVSwitch diagnostics, RDMA, Infini Band/RoCEv2
  • Experience with AMD GPUs
  • Experience with bare metal and VM provisioning (PXE/iPXE, Kickstart, libvirt, Qemu/KVM)
  • Experience with compliance frameworks relevant to cloud providers (SOC 2, ISO 27001)
Compensation
  • $,000 plus equity + benefits
LocationWhat we offer at fal
  • Interesting and challenging work
  • A lot of learning and growth opportunities
  • We are currently hiring in downtown San Francisco.
  • We offer visa sponsorship and will help you relocate to San Francisco.
  • Health, dental, and vision insurance (US)
