Join EY and help to build a better working world.\nThe opportunity\nWe are seeking AI Systems Engineers to build and operate the foundational substrate that powers EY’s AI-native platform. This role owns the infrastructure and cloud-native platform layers of the Hybrid AI Multi-Environment Runtime (HAI), from bare-metal and GPU infrastructure through Kubernetes, cluster fabric, and multi-tenant scaling. You will be responsible for building and managing EY Fabric environments across cloud, on-prem, edge, and air-gapped targets.\nThis is the substrate on which EY Agentic AI capabilities run. This role is ideal for a full-stack infrastructure leader who is equally comfortable with bare-metal and GPU systems and production Kubernetes at scale, who treats reliability and portability as non-negotiable in regulated client contexts, and who understands that the substrate is a product in its own right, measured by the velocity, safety, and portability it unlocks for every team building above it.\nYour key responsibilities\nOwn the cluster & cloud-native platform: compute, Kubernetes and scheduling, cluster fabric/networking, multi-tenancy, and distributed compute, as the substrate for Agentic AI workflows and tooling.\n Own the infrastructure foundation: Ubuntu/OS, BMC/bare-metal, DPU architecture, and NVAIE (GPU/Network/DCGM), ensuring the physical and virtual bedrock is provisioned, patched, and production-ready.\nStand up and manage EY Agentic AI environments across cloud (EKS/AKS/GKE), on-prem AI Factory (RKE2/NVAIE), edge (K3s), and air-gapped deployment modes, maintaining one consistent stack contract across all targets.\nDeliver foundational platform capabilities such as Infrastructure Management, Kubernetes & Scheduling, and Cluster Fabric Management, so downstream runtime, data, and execution services can run safely and consistently.\nOwn cluster lifecycle, autoscaling, GPU pooling/virtualization, and multi-tenancy boundaries (vCluster/Crossplane/Karpenter), providing isolated, elastic capacity per tenant and engagement.\n Own secure execution and inference: Ray Serve, vLLM/NIM/Triton, and NVIDIA Dynamo, with sandboxed execution (gVisor/Firecracker for hosted, NVIDIA OpenShell/vNode for on-prem) for isolated, safe model execution. \n Own cognitive and routing: Envoy AI Gateway, semantic routing (vLLM-SR), model/prompt selection, and streaming response handling - directing each request to the right model under the right constraints. \nCollaborate with DevOps Engineers on deployment and delivery of the platform itself: CI/CD/CV (ArgoCD), infrastructure-as-code / GitOps (Helm/OpenTofu), so environments are reproducible and drift-free.\nOwn backup, disaster recovery, and cross-environment replication for high availability (Velero, CloudNativePG, Cilium ClusterMesh), along with patching and platform supply-chain hygiene.\nEnsure the substrate is modular and swappable, so components can be replaced without rewriting consumers, minimizing vendor lock-in while preserving the stack contract.\nSkills and attributes for success\nDeep expertise in cloud-native platform engineering (Kubernetes, networking, multi-tenancy at scale) and low-level infrastructure and systems engineering (bare-metal, GPU, DPU).\nAdvanced understanding of how compute, networking, storage, and scheduling interact to form a reliable, portable substrate.\nComfortable operating across cloud, on-prem, edge, and air-gapped environments simultaneously, with a portability-first mindset.\nStrong command of AI gateways, semantic routing, and model/prompt selection under latency and cost constraints.\nA passion for ensuring reliability, repeatability, and reduction of operational toil through automation and infrastructure-as-code.\nAbility to define and honor clean ownership boundaries with adjacent trust, data, and runtime teams.\nStrong communicator able to explain infrastructure tradeoffs to engineers, architects, and leadership.\nNatural product-ownership orientation toward foundational platforms, measured by the downstream velocity and reliability they enable.\nTo qualify you must have\nBachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science or related technical field.\n8+ years building or operating enterprise infrastructure, cloud platforms, or large-scale Kubernetes environments, including hands-on systems depth.\nHands-on expertise with Kubernetes distributions (RKE2, EKS/AKS/GKE, K3s) and full cluster lifecycle management.\nDeep experience with bare-metal, cloud, hybrid, on-prem, and ideally air-gapped deployment models.\nStrong grounding in cluster networking (Cilium/service mesh/CNI), storage, and multi-tenancy isolation.\nExperience with GPU infrastructure and scheduling (NVAIE/DCGM, GPU operators, virtualization/MIG).\nExperience with infrastructure-as-code and GitOps tooling (Terraform/OpenTofu, Helm, ArgoCD, Crossplane).\nProven track record operating production infrastructure under compliance, security, or regulatory constraints.\nAbility to work effectively with security, architecture, product, and delivery teams.\nIdeally, you’ll also have\nExperience supporting AI/ML and GPU-intensive workloads (GPU virtualization, MIG, AI workload scheduling).\nExperience with multi-tenant platforms and tenancy isolation at scale (e.g., vCluster).\nExperience with disaster recovery, backup, and cross-environment replication tiered by RPO/RTO.\nFamiliarity with distributed compute and batch orchestration (Kueue, Slurm/Slinky, Ray, OpenMPI).\nBackground in platform or SRE roles where success is measured by downstream team velocity, reliability, and portability.\nExposure to regulated delivery environments (financial services, tax, healthcare, risk).\nWhat we offer you\nAt EY, we’ll develop you with future-focused skills and equip you with world-class experiences. We’ll empower you in a flexible environment, and fuel you and your extraordinary talents in a diverse and inclusive culture of globally connected teams.
