Type of Contract: Permanent, full-time

About Radian Arc

Radian Arc, now part of InferX, Submer's AI cloud and GPU infrastructure platform, provides an infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) platform for running cloud gaming, artificial intelligence and machine learning applications inside telecommunication carrier networks. Our teams across the USA, Australia, Central Europe, Malaysia, Singapore and Japan offer telecom operators a GPU-based edge computing platform without the need for capital expenditure, facilitating low latency and improved economics for value-added services and the monetization of 5G investments.

What impact you will have

Mission: Design and build the observability platform that powers visibility, reliability, and performance insights for large-scale GPU cloud infrastructure as well as smaller edge deployments. This role is responsible for designing and implementing key parts of the observability architecture across the platform, enabling engineering, operations, and customers to understand system behavior in real time across distributed AI workloads, GPU clusters, networking fabrics, storage systems, and edge inference environments. You will design and operate low-latency, high-scale telemetry pipelines that collect, process, and analyze metrics, logs, and traces from infrastructure running across core datacenter clusters and smaller edge deployments. The platform you build will support internal operations, automated reliability mechanisms, and customer-facing observability experiences.

As a senior engineer, you will lead delivery of major observability initiatives, contribute to the evolution of telemetry standards and SLO implementation, and work with other teams to ensure observability is effectively integrated into the platform architecture from infrastructure to application layers. You will collaborate closely with infrastructure, networking, storage, and platform engineering teams to provide clear visibility into performance bottlenecks, infrastructure degradation, and distributed workload behavior across both hyperscale GPU environments and smaller edge installations. This role contributes directly to improving platform reliability by analyzing production telemetry, identifying systemic issues, and driving improvements in performance, efficiency, and operational stability across the stack.

• Contribute to observability standards across services, including metrics, tracing instrumentation, logging, and SLO implementation.

• Build visibility across compute, storage, and networking layers of the platform.
• Instrument GPU clusters, inference workloads, and distributed training environments.
• Detect infrastructure degradation such as GPU throttling, network congestion, storage latency, and hardware degradation.
• Implement telemetry pipelines for GPU, CPU, network, and storage performance metrics.

• Build dashboards and monitoring tools that expose system health and performance to both internal teams and customers.
• Provide insights into workload performance including GPU utilization, storage throughput, network latency, and distributed inference performance.
• Develop performance analysis tools that help customers understand system bottlenecks.

• Develop and maintain network observability platforms.
• Build telemetry collectors and exporters using Python or Go.
• Ingest telemetry from infrastructure components including NVIDIA Cumulus Linux, VyOS routers, and Citrix NetScaler / WAF.
• Design telemetry ingestion pipelines using protocols such as gNMI, SNMP, and streaming telemetry.

• Design advanced alerting and anomaly detection systems.
• Contribute to platform SLOs, SLIs, and reliability metrics.
• Build automated detection of infrastructure anomalies.
• Integrate observability signals with operational workflows and incident management systems.
• Participate in on-call rotations supporting platform observability and telemetry infrastructure.

• Partner with platform, networking, storage, and compute teams to instrument services.
• Work closely with operations teams to improve monitoring and incident response.
• Provide guidance and mentorship to engineers on observability best practices.
• Promote good observability practices across teams and help engineers adopt effective instrumentation and monitoring patterns.
