Senior Staff Engineer, Lab Operations

Upscale AI is building the high-performance infrastructure powering the next generation of artificial intelligence.

Backed by over $300M in funding and rapid global adoption, we are scaling systems designed for the world’s most demanding AI workloads.

We focus on first-principles engineering across silicon, systems, and networking—where performance, scale, and execution are critical.

Our team is talent-dense and high-performing.

We value ownership, technical rigor, and speed, and we offer the opportunity to work on foundational problems with immediate, real-world impact.

If you’re looking to do high-impact work, move fast, and help define the infrastructure behind the future of AI—Upscale AI is where you can produce meaningful work at the frontier—and operate at a high standard.

Own the engineering lab ecosystem end-to-end racks, switches, and software labs - at UpscaleAI, a fast-moving AI hardware and infrastructure company.

This is a hands-on role first and foremost.

You're the person engineers and lab owners rely on to keep labs running, equipment tracked, networking connected, and projects on schedule, while also planning ahead and building the processes that let the operation scale as headcount and hardware volume grow quickly.

• Lab operations and infrastructure (hands-on): personally manage day-to-day operations across software and hardware labs, including receiving, commissioning, and physically deploying equipment (servers, racks, switches); maintain equipment health and maintenance schedules; get hands-on with troubleshooting and physical setup rather than delegating it away.
• Lab owner partnership, planning, and forecasting: work directly with lab owners and engineering stakeholders to understand upcoming project needs; plan and forecast lab capacity, equipment, space, and infrastructure requirements ahead of engineering roadmaps so labs are never a bottleneck; translate stakeholder requests into concrete lab plans and timelines.
• Networking and systems: install, configure, and maintain physical and virtual servers, switches, and lab network infrastructure with your own hands; working knowledge of L2/L3 networking, TCP/IP, DNS/DHCP, firewalls, and cabling; troubleshoot connectivity and infrastructure issues directly as part of the IT organization, coordinating with broader IT systems and teams as needed.
