We deliver on-demand and private GPU infrastructure to teams who treat performance as a requirement, not a feature.\nWe're a tight-knit, fast-moving team working at the cutting edge of AI cloud infrastructure. We practice what we preach, equipping our people with AI at every level so we can solve harder problems, ship faster, and keep raising the bar for what enterprise GPU infrastructure looks like.\nTHE ROLE: Infrastructure Operations Engineer\nThis role exists because our platform is scaling quickly - and complexity comes with it. As we expand our OpenStack and Kubernetes environments globally, we need engineers who can take real ownership of how the platform is designed, operated, and improved. You'll have direct ownership over business-critical infrastructure that impacts performance, reliability, and customer experience.\nThis is not a maintenance role. If you like solving hard problems, owning systems end-to-end, and seeing the impact of your work immediately - you'll enjoy this.\nWHAT YOU'LL BE DOING:\nRather than a long checklist, here's what success in this role looks like:\nOwn the design, deployment, and operation of OpenStack and Kubernetes environments - ensuring platform performance, scalability, and resilience for GPU workloads\nBuild and improve infrastructure using infrastructure-as-code and GitOps practices, driving automation across provisioning, deployment, and operational workflows\nOptimise GPU workload scheduling using Kubernetes and NVIDIA tooling, and implement monitoring, logging, and alerting to ensure platform stability\nLead incident response and drive continuous improvement of reliability across the platform\nMaintain strong security controls across infrastructure and container layers - RBAC, network policies, and tenant isolation\nWork closely with Platform, DevOps, AI, Product, and Support teams to align infrastructure capabilities with customer and platform requirements\nABOUT YOU:\nWe're more interested in how you think and work than in a perfect CV. You'll likely bring a combination of the following:\nEssential\nExtensive hands-on Linux systems administration skills and knowledge - genuine depth, not surface-level familiarity\nStrong, proven experience building servers and racks - you've physically assembled, cabled, and commissioned hardware, not just specified or overseen it\nDirect hands-on experience physically working in data centres - you've personally stacked and racked hardware on-site\nA willingness and ability to travel to Quebec sites as required\nA solid understanding of networking and storage systems\nNice to Have\nExperience installing, racking, and configuring GPU hardware specifically, ideally including NVIDIA platforms\nProduction experience running OpenStack and/or Kubernetes at scale\nExperience with infrastructure automation, CI/CD, and Git-based workflows\nBroader exposure to HPC or large-scale compute environments\nContributions to open-source projects\nWHAT WE OFFER:\nCompetitive salary and annual discretionary bonus scheme\nEmployee wellbeing benefits\n25 days of holiday, plus public holidays\nFlexible working arrangements (remote or hybrid, depending on role and location)\nReal ownership and autonomy, with the trust to take initiative and experiment\nThe opportunity to make a visible, meaningful impact as we scale\nClear career progression and growth opportunities in a fast-growing company\nA collaborative, international culture built on trust, transparency, and ownership\nThe chance to help shape NexGen Cloud's team, culture, and future alongside ambitious, mission-driven colleagues\nMORE INFORMATION\nHead over to our NexGen Cloud careers page to view current openings and follow us on LinkedIn and X to learn more about our journey, newest releases and hear exciting news in the neocloud space.","description_format":"text","description_chars":4002,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Flexible schedule","Growth opportunities"],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Cloud Platforms (IaaS & PaaS)","AI Compute & Inference"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-17T17:13:18Z"},{"event":"close","at":"2026-10-21T14:05:26Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":null,"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/nexgencloud-i-the-ai-factory-infrastructure-operations-engineer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/nexgencloud-i-the-ai-factory-infrastructure-operations-engineer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-22T01:47:05Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":1057,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-23T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":678909},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=678909"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fnexgencloud-i-the-ai-factory-infrastructure-operations-engineer"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fnexgencloud-i-the-ai-factory-infrastructure-operations-engineer"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fnexgencloud-i-the-ai-factory-infrastructure-operations-engineer"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/nexgencloud-i-the-ai-factory-infrastructure-operations-engineer\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fnexgencloud-i-the-ai-factory-infrastructure-operations-engineer"}]}
