Job details

Senior Site Reliability Engineer - Control Plane

In 2012, Lambda started with a crew of AI engineers publishing research at top machine-learning conferences. We began as an AI company built by AI engineers. That hasn't changed. Today, we're on a mission to be the world's top AI computing platform. We equip engineers with the tools to deploy AI that is fast, secure, affordable, and built to scale. Whether they need powerhouse GPU hardware on-site or the flexibility of cloud-based solutions, we've got the horsepower to make it happen. Lambda’s AI Cloud has been adopted by the world’s leading companies and research institutions including Anyscale, Rakuten, The AI Institute, and multiple enterprises with over a trillion dollars of market capitalization. Our goal is to make computation as effortless and ubiquitous as electricity.

Nice to Have

  • Experience with high-throughput, low-latency systems

  • Knowledge of security best practices and implementing defense-in-depth strategies

  • Experience with multi-region and distributed systems and solving consistency/availability challenges

  • Familiarity with message queuing systems and event-driven architectures

  • Background working with specialized computing hardware
