Senior Site Reliability Engineer SRE - Moonlite

Moonlite delivers high-performance AI infrastructure for organizations running intensive computational research, large-scale model training, and demanding data processing workloads.We provide infrastructure deployed in our facilities or co-located in yours, delivering flexible on-demand or reserved compute that feels like an extension of your existing data center. Our team of AI infrastructure specialists combines bare-metal performance with cloud-native operational simplicity, enabling research teams and enterprises to deploy demanding AI workloads with enterprise-grade reliability and compliance.

Your Role:

You will be instrumental in building and operating production-grade AI infrastructure with deep Kubernetes expertise at its core. Working closely with our systems engineers, network engineers, and platform engineering team, you’ll architect and operate the Kubernetes infrastructure that powers our control plane and orchestrates compute, storage, and networking at scale. This role requires deep understanding of Kubernetes internals, custom resource definitions (CRDs), storage and network integrations, and building production-grade clusters from the ground up (not just deploying in managed environments). You'll ensure enterprise-grade reliability while establishing the automation, observability, and operational practices.

Job Responsibilities

• Kubernetes Infrastructure Engineering: Design, build, and operate production Kubernetes clusters on bare-metal infrastructure – including cluster bootstrapping, control plane architecture, etcd management, and scaling strategies for high-performance compute workloads.
• Kubernetes Networking & CNIs: Implement and operate custom Kubernetes networking solutions with SR-IOV for high-performance GPU interconnects, multi-tenancy isolation and advanced networking policies. Configure CNI plugins and network segmentation for research workloads.
• Custom Operators & Controllers: Develop and maintain custom Kubernetes operators and controllers for bare-metal provisioning, infrastructure lifecycle management, and resource orchestration across compute, storage, and networking domains.
• GPU Infrastructure Integration: Deploy and optimize NVIDIA GPU operators, device plugins, and other custom scheduling logic for GPU workload placement and utilization optimization.
• Platform Integration & Storage: Build deep integrations between Kubernetes and underlying infrastructure including CSI drivers for storage, custom admission controllers for policy enforcement, and scheduling extensions for specialized hardware placement.
• Infrastructure Automation: Design and implement automation using Terraform, Ansible, Helm, and custom operators to orchestrate infrastructure workflows and enable deployments across multiple regions.
• Production Operations & Reliability: Manage production bare-metal infrastructure across multiple regio
