Job 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.
Benefits
At Boundless, we take care of our people, because building the future of AI compute starts with an empowered team. Here's what you can expect when you join us:
- Competitive salary (proposed band b/t US$175k and $250k annually) + equity allocation
- Health, dental, vision (for U.S. employees; region-adjusted globally)
- Flexible PTO
- Professional development and conference travel budget
- Remote-first with regular off-sites and a high-trust, high-velocity team environment
We are a global team, and applicants from around the world are welcome to apply.

Prepare your application
Use the description above to assess your fit for Boundless Networks, Inc.. This checklist is guidance from Resumize, rather than additional requirements from the employer. Imported listings can be shortened or change after collection, so confirm the complete description and current availability before sending an application.
Match requirements to evidence
Identify the responsibilities and skills the employer explicitly names. For each important requirement, choose one example from your work, education, training, or projects. Explain what you did, how you did it, and what changed as a result. Include a measurable outcome when you can support it. If you lack a requirement, describe related experience accurately instead of adding an unfamiliar skill to your resume.
Put the most relevant examples near the top of your resume. Keep job titles, dates, qualifications, and contact details consistent across your application materials. Use the employer’s terminology when it describes your experience accurately; a copied list of keywords does not explain your contribution. A short, specific bullet is easier to review than a paragraph that mixes several unrelated duties.
Check the working arrangement
Confirm the location, schedule, employment type, and any eligibility requirements on the employer’s site. A remote label does not establish worldwide eligibility or flexible hours. If compensation, benefits, equipment, travel, or contract duration are missing from this listing, write down your questions for the recruiter. Do not assume details from another opening at the same company apply to this role.
Review before submitting
Follow the employer’s requested file format and application instructions. Open your exported resume and check that its text is selectable, its sections read in order, and its links work. Proofread names, dates, and contact information. Share confidential work samples only when you have permission, and use an anonymized example when necessary.
Submit through a trusted employer or recruiting destination. If the original listing has disappeared, search the employer’s careers page for the title rather than assuming the vacancy remains open. Save the application date, job reference, and the version of your resume you sent. Those details help you prepare for a later conversation and avoid submitting conflicting information through several job boards.
Review your resume for writing and readability feedback, or browse other openings if this opportunity is unavailable.
