About the Job

Requirements

  • A bachelor's degree in computer science or a related major, or equivalent practical experience.
  • At least 2 years of customer-facing technical experience in software engineering, solutions engineering, technical support, customer success, or forward deployed engineering.
  • Ability to explain complex technical contexts clearly to customers and guide decision-making.
  • Ability to read Linux server logs and system status to narrow down causes of issues.
  • Experience writing production code in Python, Go, or similar languages.
  • Basic understanding of machine learning and artificial intelligence workloads, including training and inference.

Responsibilities

  • Participate from initial meetings with strategic new customers, define success metrics, and design and execute proofs of concept; after contracting, support onboarding and workload migration.
  • Participate in the company-wide technical support rotation for customers, gaining exposure to varied workloads and issue types while contributing to customer success.
  • Help standardize recurring issue-response and root-cause-analysis patterns into solutions and playbooks, and contribute to implementing AI-agent-based automation tools to improve response speed and consistency.
  • Research common customer workloads, such as post-training and physical AI model training, develop validated solutions on VESSL aligned with go-to-market direction, and use them in customer proposals and external sharing.
  • Run projects with customers to improve training and inference workload utilization, and develop the results into proposals combining GPU and engineering services.
  • Diagnose and resolve technical issues in the platform, collaborating with the product organization on platform improvements.
  • Collaborate with software engineering and site reliability engineering teams to contribute to platform and infrastructure improvements while resolving operational technical issues.

Desired Qualifications

  • Experience taking ownership of technical problems in customer environments through to resolution.
  • Experience automating repetitive work with AI coding tools or agents and quantifying the impact.
  • Experience tuning inference engines such as vLLM, SGLang, or TensorRT-LLM in production.
  • Experience operating high-performance networks such as InfiniBand or RoCE.
  • Experience operating parallel file systems such as Lustre, VAST, or WEKA.
  • Willingness to work hands-on across software engineering, infrastructure, and product areas when needed, beyond a narrowly defined scope.
  • Comfort independently investigating ambiguous problems until a solution is found.
  • Experience configuring distributed training or post-training workloads and improving throughput and efficiency.

About the Company

VESSL AI

GPU cloud platform for AI workloads

What VESSL AI does: It runs VESSL Cloud, a GPU cloud platform built for AI workloads. It gives teams on-demand access to high-end GPUs (A100, H100, B200, B300, GB200) to run activities like LLM fine-tuning, large-scale model training, and AI inference. How it works: Users launch GPU instances in VESSL Cloud from VESSL’s own data center infrastructure, paying per minute for usage, and using the platform to accelerate AI development without managing physical hardware. How it stands out: It operates its own data center and offers per-minute billing, delivering up to 80% cost savings versus AWS and GCP, focusing specifically on AI workloads rather than general-purpose cloud services. What the goal is: To help AI teams move quickly from idea to production by removing infrastructure overhead and providing scalable, affordable GPU resources for AI work.
