Staff Engineer, Infrastructure – HPC & AI Compute
Cssmerge · San Francisco, CA
About this role
**Staff Engineer, Infrastructure – HPC & AI Compute** **Who we are** Pronto AI is a global leader in commercializing autonomous vehicle (AV) technology, deploying Autonomous Haulage Systems (AHS) that automate operations in mines, quarries, and construction sites worldwide. While much of the industry remains in R&D, we deliver real, production-ready autonomy that is already operating in the field. We’re on a mission to make mining operations safer, smarter, and more efficient through cutting-edge technology—and we’re building toward becoming the world’s first profitable AV technology company. **What you’ll do** As a Staff Engineer focused on HPC & AI Compute Infrastructure, you’ll help build the physical computing infrastructure powering Atoms’ AI, robotics, and autonomous systems. You’ll work closely with Infrastructure, AI, and engineering teams to bring immediate GPU capacity online while architecting the foundation for thousands of GPUs, large-scale CPU compute, and exabyte-scale storage. This is a hands-on role spanning hardware, software, networking, storage, and data-center infrastructure. You’ll own complex technical challenges from initial requirements through deployment and production. - **Build AI compute infrastructure from the ground up**: Lead design, deployment, and commissioning of physical GPU and HPC infrastructure, including an intermediate data-center environment in San Francisco. - **Architect for scale**: Define the technical foundation to grow from initial deployments to thousands of GPUs, large-scale CPU compute, and exabyte-scale storage—balancing performance, reliability, scalability, and cost. - **Own compute and hardware architecture**: Evaluate and specify GPU servers, CPUs, memory, networking components, storage systems, and rack configurations. - **Design high-performance networking and storage**: Work across cluster interconnects, high-bandwidth networking, distributed storage, and data movement. - **Partner on physical data-center delivery**: Collaborate with facilities, real estate, and infrastructure teams on power, cooling, rack density, space, and connectivity. - **Drive infrastructure deployment end to end**: Work with hardware manufacturers, vendors, and internal teams on evaluations, BOMs, procurement planning, installation, integration, validation, and production readiness. - **Automate infrastructure operations**: Develop tooling/processes for bare-metal provisioning, configuration management, monitoring, hardware validation, incident response, and failure recovery. - **Own capacity planning and operational reliability**: Anticipate bottlenecks, troubleshoot complex issues, and continuously improve performance, utilization, and availability. **What we’re looking for** We’re looking for a hands-on infrastructure engineer experienced in building and scaling physical compute environments—from initial system design through deployment and production. You should be comfortable across hardware, software, networking, storage, and data-center infrastructure, with the ability to lead complex engineering initiatives. **Basic qualifications** - Bachelor’s degree in CS/CE/EE or related field, or equivalent practical experience - 8+ years in infrastructure engineering, systems engineering, HPC, data-center engineering, or related disciplines - Demonstrated experience designing, deploying, commissioning, or significantly expanding physical compute infrastructure (HPC clusters, GPU systems, or large-scal
