Create runbooks and automated remediations for common cluster failure modes, designed so Support and HPC Support can run them safely
Troubleshoot and resolve cluster issues across InfiniBand/RoCE, NCCL, GPU-direct, fabric, switching, and power — working closely with on-site deployment teams
Participate in on-call rotations and lead incident response for cluster-level problems
Contribute to and maintain Standard Operating Procedures, and feed clear requirements back to other engineering teams on simplification, stability, and operational efficiency
