****About TensorWave****
Our mission is simple: deliver seamless, secure, reliable, and resilient AI compute at scale.
We've built a versatile cloud platform that eliminates infrastructure barriers, empowering builders to focus on innovation instead of fighting their stack.
Because breakthrough AI should move at the speed of ideas, not infrastructure.
****About The Role****
We are building large-scale, high-performance infrastructure to power next-generation AI workloads.
Our platform operates across multiple data centers and supports GPU-intensive environments with demanding requirements around performance, isolation, and scalability.
We are looking for a
Staff Infrastructure Engineer
- to lead the design and evolution of our virtualization platform.
- This role will own how we build, scale, and operate hypervisor infrastructure as we transition from traditional virtualization platforms toward a more flexible, CSP-aligned architecture based on
- KVM/QEMU and modern Linux primitives
- .
- This is a highly technical, hands-on role focused on solving complex systems problems at scale.
- ****What You’ll Do****
- Design and implement a scalable virtualization platform capable of supporting high-density compute and GPU workloads
- Lead the evolution from existing platforms (e.g., Proxmox) toward KVM/QEMU-based architectures
- Define standards for VM lifecycle management (provisioning, scheduling, migration), performance isolation and resource allocation, failure domains and resilience strategies
- Optimize virtualization for high-performance workloads, including NUMA alignment, CPU pinning and scheduling, PCIe topology awareness, GPU passthrough and device assignment
- Partner closely with networking and storage teams to integrate high-throughput, networking (e.g., SR-IOV, RDMA), distributed and local storage systems
- Build and improve automation for hypervisor deployment and configuration, image pipelines, cluster scaling and lifecycle management
- Troubleshoot deep system-level performance issues across compute, memory, storage, and network layers
- Contribute to long-term platform architecture and infrastructure strategy
- ****Who You Are****
Required Qualifications
- 7+ years of experience in infrastructure, systems engineering, or platform engineering
- Deep experience with Linux-based virtualization, including:
- + KVM/QEMU
- + libvirt or similar tooling
- Strong understanding of:
- + CPU scheduling and NUMA architectures
- + Memory management and performance tuning
- + Storage I/O paths and performance characteristics
- Experience designing and operating virtualization platforms at scale (hundreds+ hosts)
- Solid networking fundamentals, including:
- + Linux networking (bridges, bonding, VLANs)
- + High-performance networking concepts
- Experience with infrastructure automation (e.g., Ansible, Terraform, or similar)
- Strong troubleshooting skills across distributed systems
- ****Preferred Qualifications****
- Experience in cloud or CSP environments (public or private)
- Familiarity with:
- + GPU workloads and passthrough (VFIO)
- + SR-IOV and advanced NIC features
- Experience integrating virtualization with:
- + Kubernetes platforms
- + Bare metal provisioning systems (e.g., MAAS)
- Exposure to distributed storage systems (e.g., Ceph, Weka, or similar)
- Experience working in high-performance or low-latency environments
- ****What We Offer****
- Stock Options
- 100% paid Medical, Dental, and Vision insurance for Employees
• Company Health Savings Account Contributions
- 100% paid Short Term and Long Term Disability Insurance for Employees
- Life and Voluntary Supplemental Insurance Options
- Other Insurance Options, such as Pet & Legal Insurance
- Various Supplementary Health Benefits, such as discounted Virtual Healthcare Appointments and Serious Illness Support
• Flexible Spending Account
- 401(k)
• Employee Assistance Program
- Flexible PTO
- Paid Holidays
- Parental Leave
