Site Reliability Engineer

About Nscale

• Nscale is the GPU cloud built for AI. We run high-performance, cost-efficient infrastructure for AI-native
• startups and global enterprises, from bare metal up through the platform services teams actually build
• on. Our culture runs on ownership, accountability, and speed. We move with urgency, we tell each
• other the truth, and everyone here stays close to the infrastructure that makes AI work.

• The Role
• This is a career-level SRE role for someone who wants to own systems, not just watch them. You'll take
• real surface area: the automation and tooling other engineers depend on, and the reliability of
• production services running AI and GPU workloads at scale. You'll sit in the incident rotation, and you'll
• be expected to make the systems you touch quieter over time.

• What You'll Do
• •Build and own the automation and tooling that keeps the platform running; treat operational toil as
• a bug to be fixed, not a fact of life.
• •Define and maintain SLOs, SLIs, and the dashboards that make service health obvious at a glance.
• •Take point during incidents; troubleshoot under pressure, drive root cause analysis, and run post-
• incident reviews that actually change the system.
• •Investigate performance and reliability problems across Linux, networking, and distributed services,
• then fix them at the source.
• •Partner with Engineering, Networking, and Infrastructure teams to raise the reliability bar across the
• stack.
• •Improve availability, scalability, and efficiency through code, not manual effort.
• What You'll Bring
• •3-6 years in SRE, systems engineering, or software engineering, including time running production in
• a data center or cloud environment.
• •Strong programming skills (Python, Go, or similar) and a genuine bias toward automating the work
• away.
• •Solid command of Linux, networking fundamentals, and distributed systems.
• •A track record of troubleshooting live production issues and owning the fix through to the retro.
• •Fluency with monitoring and observability; metrics, logs, dashboards, and alerting.
• •Comfort in a fast-moving environment where priorities shift and you fill gaps without waiting to be
• asked.

• Nice to Have
• •Experience with AI or GPU workloads, or high-performance computing (HPC).
• •Familiarity with high-performance networking (InfiniBand, RDMA).
• •Kubernetes, plus virtualized or bare-metal environments.
• On-Call and Pace
• A quick note on the shape of the job. This role sits close to production, so there is an on-call rotation,
• and some weeks are busier than others. We share it fairly, and we treat every page as a signal worth
• acting on rather than just an interruption. The goal is to make the systems quieter over time, so each
• rotation asks less of the person carrying it. If you take ownership of what you run and like leaving it in
• better shape than you found it, you'll do well here.
• What We Offer
• •Competitive base plus equity, reviewed every 12 months.
• •Real scope early, and a progression plan built around the skills you want to sharpen.
• •Flexibility that treats you as an adult; we care that the work gets done, and we trust you to shape
• your day.

• Salary Range
• $130,000 - $200,000 USD. Actual compensation varies with skill set, experience, and location, and the
• role may be eligible for bonus and equity.
