# Senior Infrastructure Engineer - GPU Compute

> Boundless Networks, Inc. · United States (Remote) · Full-time · Posted 2026-08-03

**Salary:** USD 175,000–250,000

**Workplace:** remote

**Department:** Boundless Team

## Description

Boundless is coordinating GPU compute at scale as it becomes a leader in AI. **As a Senior Infrastructure Engineer (GPU Compute),** you'll build and operate the compute fabric that powers our AI inference workloads — a large, heterogeneous, globally distributed GPU fleet spanning consumer cards (including RTX 5090) and datacenter hardware. Your job is to keep that fleet full, fast, cheap, and always on: orchestrating workloads across regions and providers, squeezing every bit of performance out of the hardware, and driving down cost per GPU-hour. This role rewards engineers who want to go deep on bare-metal and GPU optimization.

You should be comfortable operating with a high degree of autonomy, navigating ambiguity, and defaulting to a strong bias for action.

**What You'll Do**

**GPU Fleet Orchestration:** Operate a heterogeneous, multi-region GPU fleet (consumer + datacenter, including RTX 5090) using tools like SkyPilot, Kubernetes/k3s, and cloud + on-prem providers. Build the patterns that let us schedule inference workloads across the entire fleet reliably.

**Compute Scheduling & Utilization:** Maximize GPU utilization across inference workloads. Own workload placement across spot, on-prem, and cloud capacity, keeping the "always-on inference substrate" saturated and economical.

**Bare-Metal & GPU Optimization**: Go deep on GPU performance — PCIe P2P, ReBAR, NUMA topology (e.g. EPYC SP5), CUDA/driver tuning, memory configuration, and network topology — to push throughput per node.

**Reliability, Access & Observability**: Build secure fleet access (Tailscale, Teleport), robust observability and alerting, and zero-downtime rollouts across a distributed node fleet.

**Cost Optimization:** Drive down $/GPU-hr through spot instance management, intelligent workload placement between on-prem and cloud, and resource scheduling — without sacrificing reliability.

## Requirements

-   5+ years of infrastructure/DevOps experience operating large-scale production systems
-   Deep expertise in Kubernetes, Docker, and container orchestration at scale
-   Strong Linux systems administration skills
-   Proficiency in infrastructure-as-code tools (Terraform, Ansible, Pulumi)
-   Track record of managing mission-critical, high-throughput systems
-   Strong infrastructure-as-code background in heterogeneous environments
-   Proficiency in at least one common scripting or programming language (Python, Bash, TypeScript, Go, etc.)
-   Comfort navigating ambiguity with a strong bias for action

**Nice to Have**

-   Experience with GPU computing infrastructure (CUDA, bare-metal optimization, kernel tuning)
-   Experience operating ML training or other large-scale distributed compute infrastructure
-   Experience with GPU fleet orchestration (SkyPilot, Ray, Slurm)
-   Familiarity with fleet access and networking tooling (Tailscale, Teleport)
-   Knowledge of network optimization and topology design
-   Experience with multi-region, globally distributed systems
-   Proficiency in Rust or low-level systems programming
-   Experience with on-premises data center operations

**Additional Requirements**

-   Candidates must include a public GitHub profile in their application.
-   The GitHub profile should demonstrate a minimum of 1 year of activity/history.
-   Applications that do not include a GitHub profile, or show insufficient activity, will not be considered.
