About the Job

Requirements

  • At least 5 years of experience in infrastructure or systems engineering, ideally focused on GPU clusters or high-performance computing environments.
  • Deep hands-on experience with AWS HyperPod and AWS instances; direct experience with HyperPod is a strong advantage.
  • A solid understanding of Slurm and Kubernetes as orchestration layers, and the ability to assess their trade-offs for large GPU workloads.
  • Practical knowledge of distributed training, including what affects throughput and how to debug issues.
  • Experience developing self-service tools and technical documentation for demanding end users.
  • A strong understanding of large-scale cloud cost management, including Spot interruptions, capacity reservations, and cost allocation across teams and workloads.
  • Very good English skills.

Responsibilities

  • Serve as the central point of contact for NEURA’s GPU cluster infrastructure, a large-scale AWS HyperPod setup with GPU instances for foundation-model training and customer-specific fine-tuning workloads.
  • Develop the operating framework, build self-service tools for ML teams, and work directly with AWS to help shape the platform at hyperscaler scale.
  • Focus on cluster engineering and operations rather than ML research, providing researchers with stable, efficient, and accessible infrastructure.
  • Set up, configure, and continuously improve NEURA’s HyperPod clusters, including HyperPod/Slurm and HyperPod/EKS orchestration models.
  • Design and implement cluster-stability strategies, including node-failure detection, automatic job recovery, checkpoint coordination, and fault-tolerant multi-node training workflows.
  • Build a workload-priority framework that enables multiple teams and use cases—including pretraining, fine-tuning, and customer jobs—to share cluster capacity fairly and efficiently.
  • Optimize end-to-end GPU utilization by identifying and resolving bottlenecks in compute, GPU memory, EFA networking, and storage throughput.
  • Collaborate closely with AWS HyperPod product and engineering teams, escalate issues, share learnings from a large deployment, and contribute requirements to the product roadmap.
  • Provide self-service tools enabling ML researchers and engineers to start, monitor, and manage training jobs independently.
  • Create onboarding documentation and training materials, and deliver internal workshops to help users work efficiently, follow best practices, and understand workload costs.
  • Manage cluster configurations, changes, and environments using an infrastructure-as-code, code-first approach.
  • Own cost and capacity strategy, including Spot management, Reserved Instance planning, Savings Plans, and ongoing AWS commitment negotiations.

Desired Qualifications

  • German language skills are a plus.

About the Company

Neura Robotics

Cognitive robots with perception, manipulation, collaboration

Neura Robotics builds cognitive robots for industrial and service settings, combining perception, manipulation, and human collaboration. It develops both the hardware and the software stack for Physical AI, creating robot platforms like MAiRA, MAV, LARA and MiPA along with training infrastructure. The system works by integrating sensing, decision-making, and manipulation capabilities on a hardware-software stack that can be deployed in large-scale production, with the company planning robots fleets and NEURA Gyms for ongoing training and improvement. What sets Neura Robotics apart is its end-to-end approach to Physical AI, including a focus on mass production, an established global deployment plan, and a broad ecosystem of strategic backers and partners that support scaling and international expansion. The goal is to enable worldwide deployment of its robot platforms and associated training infrastructure, turning physical AI into widely available industrial and service automation.
