As a software engineer on the Fleet High Performance Computing (HPC) team, you will be responsible for the reliability and uptime of all of OpenAI’s compute fleet. Minimizing hardware failure is key to research training progress and stable services, as even a single hardware hiccup can cause significant disruptions. With increasingly large supercomputers, the stakes continue to rise. Being at the forefront of technology means that we are often the pioneers in troubleshooting these state-of-the-art systems at scale. This is a unique opportunity to work with cutting-edge technologies and devise innovative solutions to maintain the health and efficiency of our supercomputing infrastructure. Our team empowers strong engineers with a high degree of autonomy and ownership, as well as ability to effect change. This role will require a keen focus on system-level comprehensive investigations and the development of automated solutions. We want people who go deep on problems, investigate as thoroughly as possible, and build automation for detection and remediation at scale.

Build and maintain automation systems for provisioning and managing server fleets
Develop tools to monitor server health, performance, and lifecycle events
Collaborate with clusters, networking, and infrastructure teams
Partner with external operators to ensure a high level of quality
Identify and fix performance bottlenecks and inefficiencies
Continuously improve automation to reduce manual work
Requirements:
Experience managing large-scale server environments
A balance of strengths in building and operationalizing
Proficiency in Python, Go, or similar languages
Strong Linux, networking, and server hardware knowledge

Nice to have:
Experience with low level details of hardware components, protocols, and associated Linux tooling (e.g., PCIe, Infiniband, networking, power management, kernel perf tuning)
Knowledge of hardware management protocols (e.g., IPMI, Redfish)
High-performance computing (HPC) or distributed systems experience
Prior experience developing, managing, or designing hardware
Familiarity with monitoring tools (e.g., Prometheus, Grafana)
