What to Expect
Tesla's Supercomputing/AI infrastructure team works directly with the high-performance computing and machine learning infrastructure on which our ML algorithms run; this includes virtual simulations, Autopilot hardware, silicon design, and Dojo. With the rapidly-growing need for more data and optimized compute resources, cluster builds are getting larger and increasingly complex. Continued development/automation of deployment, monitoring, self-healing and alerting processes is imperative to the success of our engineering groups. As the scope and impact of our Tesla Bot, Full-Self-Driving (FSD) & Robotaxi efforts continue to scale, so does the value of this team and its work.

As a Site Reliability Engineer, you will be responsible for maintaining and improving our platform to ensure our Full-Self-Driving (FSD), Tesla Bot & Dojo engineering teams have the necessary tools and resources to be productive. This includes managing/operating our AI infrastructure, monitoring compute/GPU/network metrics, Linux troubleshooting & performance tuning, and security. Your work will directly facilitate neural network training at scale, streamline FSD development, and enable Dojo to become the most powerful supercomputer to date.

What You’ll Do
  • Support the AI/ML cluster infrastructure on both GPU and Dojo platforms, focusing on systems automation, configuration management and deployment at scale
  • Improve our monitoring & self-healing pipelines, as well as security posture
  • Optimize our server, storage and network performance
  • Develop new tools in Python, Golang or Bash/Shell
  • Use Infrastructure as Code best practices
  • Participate in 24x7 on-call rotation
What You’ll Bring
  • Proficiency in Python, Golang and/or Bash
  • Proficiency with Linux fundamentals and performance optimizations
  • Experience with configuration management software (Ansible, etc.), systems monitoring & alerting (Prometheus, Grafana, Telegraf, Splunk, etc.)
  • Experience with containerization technologies such as Kubernetes
  • Experience with high-throughput low-latency networks, GPU-based computing systems, and/or high-performance storage systems is a plus
  • Experience with Slurm, LSF and storage management of parallel file systems is a plus
  • Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Physics or proof of exceptional skills in related field
  • 3+ years of additional equivalent experience or evidence of exceptional ability related to the position
