Your work will develop core infrastructure for AI workloads and embed AI tools across the engineering lifecycle to uplift speed, quality, and innovation across Dell’s solution platforms.
What You'll Do
- Design, develop, and operate core AI platform components: MLOps pipelines, data handling, model serving, and observability.
- Implement and manage LLM tooling and prompt engineering frameworks; define reusable patterns for agents and retrieval workflows.
- Deploy and maintain scalable compute environments on Kubernetes/OpenShift, VxRail, ensuring high availability, performance, and cost efficiency for AI workloads.
- Troubleshoot complex issues across the stack—from infrastructure and networking to runtime and application layers; contribute to technical documentation and platform best practices.
- Optimize GPU scheduling, resource management, and model runtime performance in containerized environments.
- Drive adoption of AI-assisted development tools and integrate LLM-based services into engineering workflows.
- Build and maintain automation frameworks and CI/CD pipelines that leverage AI for code quality, security scanning, and performance optimization.
- Collaborate with platform engineers and product teams to embed AI capabilities into solution platforms.
- Develop reference implementations, guardrails, and best practices for AI-assisted engineering across multiple product teams.
- Mentor engineers in effective use of AI tools to improve productivity while maintaining high-quality standards; evaluate emerging AI technologies and recommend adoption strategies.
What We're Looking For
- Master’s degree in Computer Science or related field
- 5+ years in software engineering or platform development
- Strong programming skills in Python, Go, or Java
- Solid CS fundamentals and hands-on experience with containerization and orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes, OpenShift)
- Experience building/managing ML or high-performance computing infrastructure
- Familiarity with LLM ecosystems (e.g., LangChain, vector databases)
- Proficiency with CI/CD, DevOps practices, and enterprise software delivery
- Experience with AI-assisted development tools or integrating LLM services into engineering workflows
Nice to Have
- Experience with VMware technologies (vSphere, Tanzu) and Dell platforms (VxRail, PowerStore)
- Knowledge of GPU resource management in containerized environments
- Familiarity with hyper-converged infrastructure (HCI), enterprise storage, and network virtualization (e.g., VMware NSX)
- Hands-on experience with infrastructure automation tools (Ansible, Terraform, Helm)
Technical Stack
