Lightning AI is the company behind PyTorch Lightning. Founded in 2019, we build an end-to-end platform for developing, training, and deploying AI systems—designed to take ideas from research to production with less friction. Through our merger with Voltage Park, a neocloud and AI Factory, Lightning AI combines developer-first software with cost-efficient, large-scale compute. Teams get the tools they need for experimentation, training, and production inference, with security, observability, and control built in. We serve solo researchers, startups, and large enterprises. Lightning AI operates globally with offices in New York City, San Francisco, Seattle, and London, and is backed by Coatue, Index Ventures, Bain Capital Ventures, and Firstminute.
The people who thrive here are builders who move fast, communicate openly, take ownership, and continuously improve themselves, their teams, and our company. Here's what that looks like in practice:
Lightning AI is looking to hire an AI Platform Support Engineer to join our US Customer Experience team, supporting ML engineers running large-scale training and inference workloads across cloud infrastructure, Kubernetes, and GPU platforms in production environments.
This role sits at the intersection of ML systems, cloud infrastructure, Kubernetes, and customers. You’ll support engineers training models, deploying inference systems, and scaling GPU workloads in production.You are not a ticket router or traditional support engineer. You are a technical partner to ML teams - helping diagnose failures, improve reliability, and guide customers through complex distributed systems problems. The problems range from Kubernetes scheduling and GPU orchestration to distributed PyTorch failures, inference latency, networking bottlenecks, storage performance, and platform reliability. You’ll gain exposure to a wide variety of real world AI workloads across industries and help shape the infrastructure powering the next generation of ML applications.
This role is hybrid out of our Seattle, San Francisco, or New York office hubs, with an in-office requirement of at least 2 days per week and occasional team and company offsites. The role follows a Monday–Friday schedule, with working hours from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM PST. We are not able to provide visa sponsorship for this role at this time.
