qualifications:
• Experience integrating Kubernetes with OpenStack environments.
• Exposure to GPU infrastructure, high-performance computing (HPC), or large-scale compute platforms.
• Familiarity with advanced networking technologies and cloud-native ecosystems.
• Contributions to open-source infrastructure or cloud computing projects.

Benefits:
• Competitive salary and discretionary bonus.
• 25 days of annual leave, in addition to public holidays.
• Fully remote working arrangement for candidates based in Australia.
• Significant technical ownership and autonomy over critical infrastructure systems.
• The opportunity to solve complex engineering challenges involving high-performance computing and AI workloads.
• Direct impact on platform reliability, performance, and customer experience.
• Opportunities for career progression as the business and infrastructure platform scale.
• A collaborative engineering environment focused on innovation, performance, and continuous improvement. nHow Jobgether works: We use an AI-powered matching process to ensure your application is reviewed quickly, objectively, and fairly against the role's core requirements.
