The posting

The role

Nscale is looking for a Director of Deployment Engineering to lead the systems engineering function responsible for deploying, validating, and operating the core compute platforms that underpin our AI infrastructure.

You will lead a high-performing engineering team across systems, compute operations, and deployment validation. This role combines technical leadership with operational execution: defining the standards, tooling, and processes that ensure infrastructure is reliable, scalable, production-ready, and delivered at pace.

What you’ll do

  • Lead and scale the systems engineering team responsible for core platform systems, deployment readiness, and compute operations.
  • Define and deliver multi-quarter systems engineering initiatives that improve deployment velocity, platform reliability, validation quality, and operational performance.
  • Establish systems validation standards for servers, GPUs, networking, storage, and supporting infrastructure before production acceptance.
  • Lead GPU burn-in and validation testing at scale, including thermal, power, stress, and performance qualification.
  • Partner with infrastructure, network engineering, deployment, product, and operations leaders to balance long-term platform architecture with immediate business needs.
  • Turn ambiguous, high-impact technical challenges into clear plans, priorities, milestones, and accountable execution.
  • Drive alignment across interdependent teams working on compute platforms, internal infrastructure, developer tooling, and operational systems.
  • Raise the bar for engineering quality, automation, observability, documentation, and operational excellence.
  • Build scalable approaches for systems monitoring, telemetry, incident learning, and continuous platform improvement.
  • Travel up to 50% to support deployments, site readiness, vendor collaboration, and operational execution.

What you’ll bring

  • A bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical field.
  • 10+ years of systems engineering, compute operations, infrastructure, or engineering-management experience.
  • Experience in a large cloud provider, hyperscale data center, or similarly complex infrastructure environment.
  • Experience leading systems or compute operations teams in a high-availability production environment.
  • Strong knowledge of Linux/Unix systems administration, OS-level tuning, server architecture, and GPU hardware.
  • Experience with virtualization, containerization, and distributed systems, including Kubernetes and Docker.
  • Experience with infrastructure-as-code and configuration-management tools such as Ansible, Terraform, Puppet, or Chef.
  • Strong scripting, automation, and data center systems-design experience.
  • Familiarity with system architecture, data synchronization, fault tolerance, state management, and distributed-system reliability.
  • Experience with enterprise storage, networking, compute, monitoring, observability, or telemetry platforms.
  • Excellent judgment, organizational skills, and written and verbal communication.
  • The ability to influence technical direction, engineering priorities, and cross-functional decisions.

What success looks like

  • Nscale’s compute platforms are consistently deployed, validated, and accepted into production at a high standard.
  • Systems engineering has clear technical standards, automation, and operational ownership across the deployment lifecycle.
  • Platform reliability, validation quality, and delivery velocity improve measurably over time.
  • Engineering, operations, and deployment teams make faster decisions with clearer data and accountability.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
