Cosmic AC is Tether Data's GPU compute and managed inference platform: GPU containers, managed inference endpoints and platform observability, delivered as a self-hosted package on Kubernetes, with a control plane written in JavaScript. The platform is expanding from orchestrating workloads on a managed cluster to owning the full stack on bare-metal GPU infrastructure: a managed Slurm scheduling layer for internal research and model-training teams first, and our own Kubernetes control plane for inference tenancy after that.

The Technical Lead owns the architecture and delivery of that stack and leads the engineering team building it: about twelve engineers across backend, frontend, DevOps, QA and documentation, distributed across Europe and India. The role reports to the Senior Technical Product Manager for Cosmic AC, who owns scope, sequencing and partner commitments; the Technical Lead owns architecture, implementation and delivery plans, line-manages the engineers, and is the primary technical interface to our infrastructure partners.

This is a hands-on infrastructure leadership role with a fixed delivery window in its first six months. It is not a research role, not a pure Kubernetes SRE role, and not a management-only role.

Slurm operators on Kubernetes (Soperator, Slinky) or Kubernetes-native schedulers (Kueue, Volcano, KAI, Kubeflow Trainer).

Modern serving stacks (vLLM, SGLang, TensorRT-LLM): parallelism strategies, quantisation trade-offs, GPU memory planning.

VM and container isolation for multi-tenant GPU compute (KubeVirt, Kata Containers, QEMU and KVM, Firecracker); confidential computing (Intel TDX, AMD SEV-SNP, NVIDIA confidential-compute mode).

Cluster API and kubeadm, Cilium, NVSentinel-class autohealing, infrastructure as code and GitOps.

Time on the operator side of a GPU cloud, a national or university HPC centre, or an AI lab's platform team.

Peer-to-peer or distributed-systems background.

Experience with a hardware provider who provisions but does not operate, and turning that relationship into a written contract with acceptance tests.
