About this role

Designworkstalent is hiring Virtualization and Orchestration Engineers for hybrid roles in the Bellevue, Washington area to build the platform layer that powers next-generation artificial intelligence infrastructure. This opportunity suits experienced infrastructure engineers who want to design large-scale distributed systems and GPU compute platforms.

Role Overview

Designworkstalent seeks Engineer, Senior, and Staff level professionals for multiple roles available within its largest infrastructure engineering organization. The position operates on a hybrid schedule requiring approximately three days per week in the Bellevue office, while open to U.S.-based candidates willing to relocate. Selected candidates join an AI-focused team backed by significant long-term investment to deliver reliable, secure, and scalable cloud compute capacity.

Key Responsibilities

Design and build virtualization infrastructure supporting GPU-intensive artificial intelligence and high-performance computing workloads.
Develop and operate Kubernetes-based orchestration systems for GPU cluster provisioning and workload scheduling.
Build automated provisioning systems that enable GPU capacity to be allocated, scaled, and reclaimed efficiently across multiple tenants.
Design solutions for workload placement, resource management, and cluster lifecycle operations.
Partner closely with hardware, networking, infrastructure, and artificial intelligence platform teams to align orchestration systems with real-world cluster architectures.
Improve the reliability, security, scalability, and operational maturity of the orchestration platform.
Build tooling and automation that simplifies infrastructure management and enhances developer and customer experiences.
Contribute to architectural decisions, engineering standards, and best practices as the platform evolves.

Requirements

Hands-on background with Kubernetes and container orchestration in production environments.
Experience designing, building, and operating large-scale infrastructure platforms.
Knowledge of virtualization technologies supporting cloud, high-performance computing, graphical processing unit, or distributed computing environments.

Familiarity with Linux-based infrastructure and distributed systems concepts.
Ability to independently own complex systems from design through production operation.
Comfort working in a fast-moving environment where architecture and processes are being established.
Required U.S. work authorization.

Nice to Have

Experience with graphical processing unit scheduling technologies such as Slurm, Kubernetes device plugins, or the NVIDIA GPU Operator.
Background supporting artificial intelligence infrastructure, machine learning platforms, high-performance computing environments, or graphical processing unit cloud providers.
History of building multi-tenant infrastructure platforms for cloud providers or large-scale compute environments.
Experience with infrastructure automation, Infrastructure as Code, and platform engineering practices.
Familiarity with high-performance networking and graphical processing unit cluster architectures.
