Full Job Description

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 foundational to building the comprehensive infrastructure platform that bridges our physical infrastructure – bare-metal servers, GPU clusters, high-performance storage, and networking fabric – with the systems our customers depend on for large-scale computation, inference, simulations, and training. Working closely with product, your platform team members, and infrastructure specialists, you’ll design and implement the orchestration layer, APIs, and automation framework that make thousands of servers, petabytes of storage, and high-speed networks feel like a unified, programmable platform. Job Responsibilities Infrastructure Abstraction Layer: Design and build systems that bridge physical infrastructure (bare-metal servers, storage clusters, network fabric) with customer-facing services, enabling programmatic management of compute, networking, and storage at scale. Research Cluster Provisioning: Design and implement systems for provisioning and managing research computing environments including Kubernetes and SLURM clusters, enabling automated deployment, resource scheduling, and workload orchestration for distributed AI training and HPC workloads. Platform Orchestration: Implement comprehensive orchestration systems that coordinate across compute, storage and networking to deliver unified experience for complex research workloads.
