About the Company

DriveNets is a leader in large-scale networking solutions for AI infrastructure and service providers. The company's disaggregated networking architecture transforms the economics of large-scale infrastructures while maximizing performance, utilization, and operational efficiency. Its high-performance AI fabric maximizes GPU utilization and accelerates deployments by optimizing the AI stack end-to-end, resulting in higher tokens-per-second and lower cost-per-token. DriveNets' solutions power production networks for global tier-1 operators like AT&T and Comcast, and scale multi-vendor AI infrastructures at foundation model labs, NeoClouds, and enterprises.

DriveNets' Cybersecurity business unit is building an AI-powered security platform for the world's largest service provider networks. The platform combines a cloud-native microservices backend with self-hosted LLM inference, delivered into customers' own Kubernetes environments — often air-gapped, with no data leaving their premises.

Responsibilities

• Own the platform's Helm charts and make them portable across any Kubernetes distribution, including OpenShift (non-root, restricted SCCs, NetworkPolicies).

• Operate the self-hosted operator stack: CloudNativePG, Strimzi, ECK, MinIO, Redis, and Temporal.

• Run the Nx monorepo pipelines and drive the ArgoCD GitOps rollout.

• Build zero-downtime releases using blue/green and canary deployments, expand/contract migrations, and automated rollback.

• Manage autoscaling with KEDA/HPA, backup/restore for stateful services, and load-validation of stamp sizing tiers.

• Provide on-call support for dev/staging environments and customer stamps.

• Build and maintain observability using Grafana Alloy, OpenTelemetry, and Prometheus/Grafana — dashboards and alerts across services, Kafka, databases, and GPUs.

• Improve developer experience through a shared dev cluster with local-debug traffic interception (Telepresence / mirrord), targeting sub-15-minute onboarding.

Requirements

Technical Skills

• 5+ years of DevOps / platform engineering experience in a product company.

• Deep hands-on experience with Kubernetes and Helm, including shipping software onto clusters you don't control.

• Production experience with GitOps (ArgoCD/Flux), infrastructure as code, and zero-downtime release engineering.

• Experience running stateful workloads on Kubernetes via operators (Kafka, PostgreSQL, Elasticsearch).

• Solid grasp of observability fundamentals: Prometheus, Grafana, OpenTelemetry.

• Comfortable operating in air-gapped environments without managed cloud services.

Soft Skills

• Strong cross-functional collaboration — works daily with AI/ML Ops, backend, research, and solutions teams on customer onboarding.

• Comfortable owning production reliability and on-call responsibilities.

Nice to Have / Advantage

• Experience with OpenShift, KEDA, and Temporal.

• Hands-on AI inference infrastructure experience: deploying and operating LLM inference on Kubernetes with GPUs (vLLM, TGI, Triton, or similar).

• GPU scheduling and node readiness, model packaging for offline delivery.

• Experience with LLM gateways (LiteLLM) and LLM observability (Langfuse).
