Build and operate the observability platform and production control plane that keep a hyperscale AI compute fleet legible and manageable—from site health down to individual devices and links. Define stable, versioned API contracts for infrastructure, own fleet state as a machine-readable source of truth, and help land new hardware cleanly via provisioning workflows. Work with Kubernetes-based systems and real-time telemetry at extreme scale.
