Upscale, Inc. is hiring a DevOps engineer to build and operate reliable CI/CD, testing, and release infrastructure for its high-performance Ethernet switch software. The role partners with SDK, SAI, and QA teams to improve pipeline speed, quality gates, observability, and deployment readiness for AI and HPC networking.\n\nResponsibilities\nOwn CI/CD for the ScaleUp stack that powers AI/HPC Ethernet switching (build, unit/integration, gating, artifacts, release promotion)\nScale pipelines across multi-repo dependencies: switch SDK, SAI adapters, shared test frameworks, and switch simulation / model targets\nImprove build caching, shared runners, and nightlies so large C/C++ and Python SDK builds stay fast and predictable\nOwn release / promote workflows (branch policies, artifact publish, pre-gate vs post-gate steps) so SDK drops are repeatable\nShorten commit → green for teams building programmable data-plane, QoS, ACL, RoCE-era fabrics, and AI-workload traffic patterns\nAdd and maintain quality gates: lint, unit tests, model smoke, coverage where useful, overnight soak — high signal, low flake\nManage artifacts and caches (CI artifacts, object storage as needed) with clear retention and failure handling\nOperate Linux build/test farms for C/C++ SDKs and Python harnesses (toolchains, containers, lab/sim hosts)\nImprove pipeline observability (dashboards, alerts, runbooks, postmortems)\nSecure secrets and access for GitHub Actions, artifact stores, and internal services\nPartner with QA on PR / nightly / soak jobs that validate end-to-end switch behavior before customer and cloud deployments\nPublish reusable pipeline templates so new ScaleUp / AI-networking repos onboard quickly\nJira: keep engineering work traceable — epics/stories/bugs for CI and infra, link PRs and releases to tickets, support sprint and release planning with SDK/SAI/QA, tighten ticket hygiene (status, components, labels) so blockers and CI debt are visible\n\nSkills\nStrong CI/CD experience (GitHub Actions and/or Jenkins; GitLab CI also fine) in multi-repo environments\nDeep Linux fluency: shells, packaging, toolchains, debugging native builds and shared-library / SDK load paths\nAutomation in Python and bash; enough CMake/Make to unblock switch-SDK CI\nContainers (Docker) and self-hosted or cloud runners at meaningful scale\nProven work reducing flaky tests and improving CI signal-to-noise\nHands-on Jira (or equivalent): workflows, boards, linking commits/PRs to issues, release/version fields — comfortable driving process with developers, not only “keeping the lights on.”\nClear communication with hardware-adjacent software teams\nExcitement about AI data centers, Ethernet fabrics, and silicon-software co-design — not only generic cloud DevOps\nBackground in networking ASICs, switch SDKs, SAI, DPDK, or NIC/SmartNIC software\nExposure to AI/ML cluster networking (GPU fabrics, RoCE/RDMA, congestion control, telemetry)\nSimulation / hardware-in-the-loop CI, pytest at scale, junit/Allure-style reporting\nBuild-cache and large-monorepo / multi-repo release patterns; backport or branch-gating workflows\nStatic analysis / lint gates in CI (e.g. cppcheck, language linters)\nIaC (Terraform/Ansible) and cloud runners (AWS/GCP)\nAtlassian suite beyond Jira (Confluence runbooks, Jira + GitHub automation)\nRelease hygiene: versioning, artifacts, SBOM/signing, branch protection / merge gates\n\nCompany Overview\nUpscale AI helps ecommerce brands tap into the power of streaming TV and video for performance advertising. It was founded in 2023, and is headquartered in New York, New York, US, with a workforce of 11-50 employees.
