Summary We are seeking a high-caliber Lead of AI Infrastructure Platform to architect and operate the foundation for our AI-driven R&D. In 2026, AI infrastructure is no longer just about racking GPUs; it is about building a "Compound AI System" that is resilient, sovereign, and cost-optimized. You will lead an elite team to transform raw compute into a strategic asset, moving from Proof-of-Concept to Proof-of-Impact . You will be the primary authority on our AI hardware-software co-design, ensuring our R&D teams can train, fine-tune, and deploy frontier models at unprecedented scale and efficiency. Key Responsibilities 1. Visionary Architecture & "AI Factory" Operations Next-Gen Orchestration: Design and manage a unified execution environment (CPUs, GPUs, and AI ASICs) using modern orchestration layers that support both training and low-latency inference. LLMOps & Agentic Infrastructure: Implement robust pipelines for LLMOps , specifically focusing on prompt versioning, vector database scaling, and the infrastructure required to host autonomous AI Agents . Sovereignty & Compliance: Navigate the complex Chinese AI landscape to ensure infrastructure compliance with local data residency and security regulations, while maintaining performance. 2. Strategic Technology Leadership Performance Engineering: Lead deep-dive optimizations in distributed training (DeepSpeed, Megatron) and hardware-aware model tuning to extract maximum TFLOPS from every cluster. Sustainability & Green AI: Implement carbon-aware scheduling and liquid-cooling strategies to reduce the environmental footprint and operational costs of high-density workloads. Vendor Strategy: Manage a diverse portfolio of domestic and international hardware/cloud vendors, ensuring a resilient supply chain in a volatile hardware market. 3. Cross-Functional Execution Stakeholder Alignment: Translate complex R&D ambitions into technical infrastructure requirements, acting as the bridge between researchers and the IT finance office. Talent Incubation: Build and mentor a "Full-Stack" infrastructure team capable of handling everything from high-speed InfiniBand networking to Kubernetes-based model serving. Qualifications & Requirements Experience: 10+ years in Infrastructure/Systems Engineering, with 4+ years specifically leading AI-focused platforms. Technical Mastery: Expertise in GPU cluster management (e.g., NVIDIA Blackwell/H-series or domestic equivalents) and high-performance interconnects (RoCE v2, InfiniBand). Deep knowledge of the Chinese AI Landscape , including Aliyun/Huawei Cloud/Baidu and local hardware ecosystems. Hands-on experience with FinOps for AI , specifically managing the "Inference Economics" of large-scale model deployment. Software Stack: Proficiency in PyTorch, Ray, Kubernetes (KubeFlow), and modern observability tools (Prometheus/Grafana) for real-time hardware telemetry. Mindset: A "Systems Architect" approach—viewing the entire data center as a single programmable computer.
