Role Summary
The GPU Systems Engineer optimises GPU performance, utilisation and scheduling across high-density, multi-tenant environments.
The role works from configuration and tuning to profiling tools and production clusters, and documents what works for internal teams and customers.
Reporting Line
Reports to: Co-CTO and CPO
Key Responsibilities
- System configuration: design and optimise GPU system configurations for AI training and inference.
- Bottleneck analysis: analyse performance bottlenecks across compute, memory, networking and storage.
- Scheduling and utilisation: work on GPU scheduling, placement and utilisation strategies.
- Multi-tenant tuning: tune systems for high-density and multi-tenant GPU environments.
- Tooling: build tools for profiling, benchmarking and monitoring GPU workloads.
- Production support: support deployment and optimisation of GPU clusters in production.
- Collaboration: work with research, platform and infrastructure teams on GPU findings.
- Documentation: document system behaviour and best practices for internal and customer use.
Required Qualifications
- 5+ years of experience in systems engineering or performance optimisation
- A strong understanding of GPU architectures and accelerators
- Experience with Linux systems and low-level performance tuning
- Comfort working close to hardware and infrastructure layers
- Strong problem-solving and analytical skills
Bonus Qualifications
- Experience with CUDA, ROCm or GPU kernel optimisation
- Familiarity with NCCL, RDMA or high-speed interconnects
- Experience with AI workloads and frameworks
- Background in high-performance computing environments
What Success Looks Like (First 90 to 180 Days)
- Baseline profiling and benchmarks exist for the main GPU configurations
- Measured utilisation or performance gains on at least one production cluster
- Profiling and monitoring tools are in use by other teams
- Best-practice documentation is published for internal and customer use
Why This Role Matters
- Capacity customers pay for: each point of GPU utilisation recovered is sellable compute.
- Three wins at once: the work improves performance, efficiency and cost together.
Working Norms at Zettabyte
- Bias to action: deliver drafts quickly, then iterate on feedback
- Be precise: double-check numbers and facts; sloppy analysis creates downstream cost
- Make it usable: package outputs for decision-making, not data dumps
- Own the process: whoever drives a deliverable manages stakeholders and timelines
- Learn the ecosystem: understand GPUs, cluster operations and the buyer landscape
