NeuralMesh by WEKA sets the standard for agentic AI data infrastructure with a cloud and AI-native software solution that can be deployed anywhere. It transforms legacy data silos into data pipelines that dramatically increase GPU utilization and make AI model training and inference, machine learning, and other compute-intensive workloads run faster, work more efficiently, and consume less energy.\nWEKA is a pre-IPO, growth-stage company on a hyper-growth trajectory. We’ve raised $375M in capital with dozens of world-class venture capital and strategic investors. We help the world’s largest and most innovative enterprises and research organizations, including 12 of the Fortune 50, achieve discoveries, insights, and business outcomes faster and more sustainably. We’re passionate about solving our customers’ most complex data challenges to accelerate intelligent innovation and business value. If you share our passion, we invite you to join us on this exciting journey.\nWhat You’ll Be Doing\nOur AI Hyperscaler customers sell GPU capacity to other companies. Their tenants run training, inference, and checkpointing on WEKA. Those tenants expect the data layer to just work.\nAs a WEKA Data Platform Administrator, you own that outcome. You run the WEKA deployment for these cloud companies as an extension of their team, day to day, so they do not have to staff WEKA administration itself. You may work directly with their end customers to tune the infrastructure for the workloads they actually run.\nOperate the Deployment\nRun the WEKA environment day to day: monitoring, health, upgrades, capacity, configuration, and audits.\nCreate and manage file systems, tiering to object storage, snapshots, quotas, and protocol configuration (POSIX, NFS, SMB, S3) as tenants onboard and grow.\nOwn the operational run state. Keep the environment healthy, documented, and recoverable.\nExecute approved changes to a standard: confirm scope and approval, classify risk, validate, keep a rollback, record the outcome.\nWatch for drift, capacity pressure, and anomalies. Raise them early with a recommended path.\nOptimize Infrastructure for NCP End Customers’ Workloads\nMay involve working directly with the customer’s tenants and their platform teams to understand how each workload uses storage: training, inference, checkpointing, data loading, and scheduling.\nTune WEKA to fit the workload. Filesystem layout, tiering, snapshot policy, quotas, and per-tenant QoS.\nValidate and standardize the client layer: GPU node clients, BlueField-3 and SR-IOV networking, mount options, cgroups and kubelet CPU policy, and the WEKA Kubernetes operator and CSI driver.\nOnboard new tenants and clients with a repeatable, verified procedure. Check configuration and scripts before they reach production, not during an escalation.\nEstablish performance baselines. Run benchmarks and tests with tenants, and report what changed and why.\nFind scaling limits before customers do: client counts, process ceilings, NAT and routing behavior across tenant networks.\nRunbooks, Automation, and Continuity\nBuild and maintain customer operating runbooks that a qualified backup can follow: procedures, access guidance, validation, rollback, and recovery steps.\nTurn repeated manual work into scripts, automation, or checklists. Use Python, Bash, and Ansible.\nPrepare handovers and backup briefs before time off or coverage changes.\nExplain procedures and decisions to customer operators so they get more capable, not more dependent.\nEscalation and Collaboration\nOpen and update cases with the observed condition, customer impact, work completed, evidence, and requested next step. Follow the established path to Technical Services, GRE, and R&D.\nKeep the extended WEKA team informed of changes, risk, and anything the customer needs to hear.\nWork with cloud providers, network teams, and other third parties in the customer’s environment to resolve issues.\nContribute operational results, trends, and risks to weekly status and quarterly reviews.\nRequirements\n10+ years administering enterprise infrastructure at scale, with strong storage experience (file, object, or block).\nDeep Linux administration skills, including RHEL-family and Ubuntu, in distributed environments.\nHands-on experience with high-speed networking: Ethernet and InfiniBand, RDMA, and the fundamentals of DNS, ACLs, and TCP/IP.\nWorking knowledge of Kubernetes and containers, including persistent storage, CSI, and operators.\nExperience operating GPU, HPC, or large cloud infrastructure for external customers or multiple tenants.\nExperience with at least one major cloud: AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, or Oracle Cloud.\nProficiency in Python, Bash, or Ansible. You automate what you repeat.\nExperience with monitoring and alerting stacks (Prometheus, Grafana, log and metrics tooling).\nExperience with ticketing systems such as Jira, and discipline in major incident management.\nClear written and verbal communication. You can explain a change to an engineer and to an executive.\nStrong technical writing. Your runbooks work for someone who has never seen the environment.\nIt’s Nice If You Have\nPrior experience with WEKA or another parallel or distributed file system.\nExperience running Slurm or Kubernetes-based AI/ML platforms.\nExperience with NVIDIA GPU cluster networking and DGX-class systems.\nExperience collaborating between support and product or engineering teams.\nFamiliarity with Confluence, Slack, and other collaboration tools.\nWhat Success Looks Like\nRoutine work is completed predictably, documented, and verified after execution.\nA qualified backup can operate the environment from your runbook.\nCustomer’s tenants get onboarded faster, with fewer surprises, and hit their performance targets.\nClient-layer problems are found in verification, not in production.\nRisks and access gaps are raised early with a recommended path forward.\nRepeated work gets safer through checklists, scripts, and automation.\nThe WEKA Way\nWe are Accountable: We take full ownership, always-even when things don’t go as planned. We lead with integrity, show up with responsibility & ownership, and hold ourselves and each other to the highest standards.\nWe are Brave: We question the status quo, push boundaries, and take smart risks when needed. We welcome challenges and embrace debates as opportunities for growth, turning courage into fuel for innovation.\nWe are Collaborative: True collaboration isn’t only about working together. It’s about lifting one another up to succeed collectively. We are team-oriented and communicate with empathy and respect. We challenge each other and conduct positive conflict resolution. We are being transparent about our goals and results. And together, we’re unstoppable.\nWe are Customer Centric: Our customers are at the heart of everything we do. We actively listen and prioritize the success of our customers, and every decision we make is driven by how we can better serve, support, and empower them to succeed. When our customers win, we win.","description_format":"text","description_chars":7200,"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":[],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United States","iso":"US","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Enterprise Storage Systems","AI Compute & Inference"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-22T19:14:48Z"}],"visa":[{"country":"US","licensed_sponsor":true,"evidence":"H-1B filings in 12 months: 2","filings_12m":2,"filings_prev_12m":3,"green_card_filings_12m":0,"median_offered_wage_usd":177500,"route":null,"cap_exempt":false,"checked_at":"2026-10-15T11:24:14+00:00","sources":["US Department of Labor: LCA disclosure data (H-1B, H-1B1, E-3)"],"filings_for_role_12m":0}],"liveness":{"score":63,"band":"ok","label":"Likely open","p_open":1,"p_active":0.632,"p_room":1,"age_days":1,"expected_fill_days":47,"reasons":["conf:4","stale_co","velocity","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-10-24T06:02:35Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/weka-weka-data-platform-administrator-remote-us","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/weka-weka-data-platform-administrator-remote-us.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-24T12:15:35Z","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":17577,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-25T00:00:00Z"}},"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":63304},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=63304"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fweka-weka-data-platform-administrator-remote-us"},{"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%2Fweka-weka-data-platform-administrator-remote-us"},{"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%2Fweka-weka-data-platform-administrator-remote-us"},{"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/weka-weka-data-platform-administrator-remote-us\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fweka-weka-data-platform-administrator-remote-us"}]}
