We’re hiring a Distributed Systems / Backend Engineer to serve as a key contributor on the core backend platform powering Emerald AI. This is a high-impact role: you will drive architectural decisions, introduce best practices, build foundational infrastructure, and help guide the evolution of our real-time energy intelligence engine.
You’ll work across ingestion, compute, storage, and system orchestration—designing components that must be highly reliable, resilient, and capable of operating at scale. As one of the early engineering hires, you’ll have a major influence on our stack, roadmap, and long-term technical direction.
We hire across levels, from early-career to staff+, with expectations and scope aligned to your ability to drive outcomes.
Designing and scaling systems that interact with real-world energy infrastructure
Building high-performance services and APIs that power core product workflows
Tackling hard problems in reliability, data modeling, and system design
Shipping end-to-end features—from idea to production
Improving system observability, performance, and fault tolerance
Partnering closely with product to turn ambiguous problems into shipped solutions
For senior candidates, you’ll have immediate opportunities to:
Drive architecture and technical direction
Lead ambiguous, high-impact initiatives
Mentor and elevate other engineers
Engineers who want to build, not just maintain
People who take ownership without waiting for permission
Those who enjoy figuring things out when the path isn’t obvious
Engineers who care about both technical excellence and real-world impact
People who prefer high trust, high accountability environments
Experience with distributed systems or data-intensive applications
Experience building and operating backend or infrastructure systems with a focus on reliability, performance, and scalability
Interest in grid systems, energy orchestration, and applying AI to real-world infrastructure
Experience working on real-time or near real-time systems
Comfort operating in ambiguous environments and turning open-ended problems into production systems
Strong system design skills, including tradeoffs across latency, consistency, and scalability
Ability to work across the stack when needed to unblock progress
Make an impact. Solve the AI power bottleneck and shape how data centers scale sustainably.
Join a world-class team of AI, cloud, software, and energy experts in a collaborative, low-ego environment.
Build from 0→1. Influence strategy, GTM, org design, and customer/investor engagement from day one.
Competitive pay + equity. Stock options let you share in the value you help create.
Comprehensive benefits, including medical, dental, vision, and 401(k) matching.
Flexible location. Work from D.C., Boston, or the Bay Area, with 1 WFH day/week.

Emerald AI is building the world's first power flexible managed cloud infrastructure. We are hiring a senior infrastructure engineer to architect and stand up our managed cloud services from end to end. The work covers the platform, the control plane, and the customer experience that together make up a managed AI cloud.
The right person has done this before. They have built or served as a core early engineer on a managed cloud or AI platform, whether at a GPU cloud, an internal machine learning platform run at scale, a hyperscaler AI service, or a HPC research computing center operated as a service. This is a role for an architect who still builds. You will make the major design decisions and then implement them yourself.
Architect our managed services from 0→1. Define the productization of GPU capacity, encompassing isolation boundaries, tenant models, provisioning flows, and service catalogs that scale across diverse providers.
Engineer the platform core. Build robust control-plane services, self-service customer interfaces, and automated lifecycle systems, including usage metering integrated with billing infrastructure.
Onboard and vet infrastructure partners. Conduct deep technical assessments of bare-metal GPU vendors, evaluating fabric quality, network isolation, and economics to automate the path from handoff to active tenant.
Design end-to-end multi-tenancy. Implement rigorous isolation across compute, storage, and networking (InfiniBand/VLANs), ensuring secure boundaries, QoS, and encryption even when customers possess root access.
Drive workload orchestration. Manage Kubernetes and Slurm environments for large-scale training and inference, overseeing node health, driver fleets, and kernel management across heterogeneous clouds.
Lead high-performance storage strategy. Deploy and integrate parallel storage solutions like Lustre, VAST, or Weka, leveraging your deep experience with these systems to ensure they fold cleanly into our provisioning model.
Ensure operational excellence. Define SLOs, observability standards, and incident response protocols that bridge our internal standards with underlying provider SLAs to deliver a reliable, sellable product.
At least 7+ years of experience in infrastructure or platform engineering, including the architecture and launch of a managed cloud or AI platform that reached production users.
Strong experience with Kubernetes and Slurm and offering them as managed service
Production experience deploying or operating Lustre or a comparable parallel filesystem such as GPFS, Weka, VAST, or BeeGFS, with a solid understanding of parallel filesystem architecture, tuning, and failure modes.
A strong grasp of cloud service fundamentals, including control planes, tenancy and isolation models, APIs, quota and metering systems, and the operational discipline of running a service that customers pay for.
Deep Linux systems knowledge, mature infrastructure as code practice with tools such as Terraform and Ansible, and solid programming ability in Python or Go.
Familiarity with GPU infrastructure, including high performance networking with InfiniBand, RoCE, and RDMA, and the GPU software stack.
Prior time at a GPU cloud, a hyperscaler AI service, or an HPC center that delivers compute and storage as a service, especially one built on rented or colocated capacity.
Familiarity with NVIDIA reference architectures such as SuperPOD, along with GPUDirect Storage, NCCL debugging, and DCGM.
Experience with Lustre multitenancy features such as nodemap, fileset mounts, and Kerberos, or with service provider deployments of VAST or Weka.
Experience negotiating with and integrating multiple infrastructure vendors, together with a practice of designing for portability between them.
Experience running object storage at scale with systems such as S3, Ceph, or MinIO, including the design of data tiering.
Experience building billing, metering, or FinOps pipelines for services that charge by usage.
Make an impact. Solve the AI power bottleneck and shape how data centers scale sustainably.
Join a world-class team of AI, cloud, software, and energy experts in a collaborative, low-ego environment.
Build from 0→1. Influence strategy, GTM, org design, and customer/investor engagement from day one.
Competitive pay + equity. Stock options let you share in the value you help create.
Comprehensive benefits, including medical, dental, vision, and 401(k) matching.
Flexible location. Work from D.C., Boston, or the Bay Area, with 2 WFH days/week.
