Must have skills: AI, Kubernetes, Orchestration and DevOps ( All the four skills are mandatory)

Role Description: Architect and build custom Artificial Intelligence (AI) infrastructure solutions
leveraging the Nutanix Kubernetes Platform and Nutanix AI. You will be responsible for
designing high-performance computational stacks that integrate Nutanix AI, high-speed
software-defined storage, and GPU-accelerated nodes. Your mission is to make AI infrastructure
& ;invisible &; by optimizing for performance, power consumption, and seamless hybrid-multicloud
scalability across on-prem.

Minimum Experience: 10 years Educational Qualification: 12 years full-time education

 
Summary
As an AI Infrastructure Engineer, you will design tailored AI solutions that bridge the gap
between private data centers and public cloud. Your day-to-day will involve optimizing the
Nutanix computational stack for large language models (LLMs) and generative AI workloads.
You will serve as the SME for Nutanix AI, ensuring that compute, storage (Nutanix
Objects/Files), and networking (Flow) are perfectly tuned for AI model training and inference.

Nutanix-Specific Responsibilities
 Hybrid Multicloud Architecture: Design seamless AI workflows using NC2 on Prem,
allowing for rapid bursting of AI workloads from on-prem AHV clusters to the public
cloud.
 Data Services for AI: Architect high-performance storage backends using Nutanix
Objects (S3-compatible) to handle the massive datasets required for AI/ML.
 Kubernetes & Orchestration: Deploy and manage AI workloads using Nutanix
Kubernetes Platform (NKP) to ensure containerized AI models are scalable and
resilient.
 Infrastructure-as-Code: Implement IaC using Nutanix Calm or Terraform to automate
the lifecycle of GPU-enabled nodes.
 Observability: Design frameworks (monitoring, logging, alerting) for proactive issue
detection. Hands on experience on Prometheus, Grafana, ELK, and OpenTelemetry.
 Ensure high availability, disaster recovery, and fault tolerance across all systems.
 Networking & Security: Familiarity with Zero-Trust architectures, enterprise
networking, storage, and virtualization.
 Invisible Infrastructure: Modernize legacy 3-tier AI silos into a unified, web-scale
Nutanix environment.
