About the Role
This role is responsible for the technical aspects of managing provider relationships, ensuring prospective compute providers meet Andromeda's quality standards, and assisting them in achieving compliance. You will define and build the qualification framework, including acceptance tests, benchmarks, and technical standards, from scratch. This role is the technical counterpart to the Provider Technical Program Manager, focusing on technical judgment and upstream validation to prevent issues before they impact customers.
Responsibilities
- Vet prospective compute providers by assessing cluster architecture, GPU hardware, network fabric, storage, and orchestration against Andromeda's quality metrics.
- Define the qualification bar, including building the acceptance test suite, benchmark methodology, and quality thresholds.
- Run validation tests such as burn-in testing, fabric validation, NCCL and application-level benchmarks, and storage performance testing.
- Guide providers through technical onboarding, remediating gaps and tuning configurations.
- Partner with compute procurement to identify and qualify new providers, performing technical due diligence.
- Build and maintain technical relationships with existing providers, acting as their technical point of contact.
- Feed learnings back into provider-facing standards and internal documentation.
Requirements
- Deep HPC experience in designing, building, or operating GPU clusters at scale.
- Strong fabric knowledge, ideally including InfiniBand and RoCE.
- Experience with distributed orchestration and the HPC software stack (Slurm, Kubernetes, OpenMPI or equivalent).
- Proficiency in Linux systems engineering.
- Data-center literacy, including power, cooling, cabling, and physical-layer realities.
- Benchmarking judgment for large-scale training workloads.
- Ability to write precise, testable standards for external engineering teams.
- Credibility with external engineering teams, including the ability to deliver a failing grade while maintaining relationships.
- Comfort with ambiguity and building new frameworks.
