Operations Engineer
About TensorWave
Our mission is simple: deliver seamless, secure, reliable, and resilient AI compute at scale. We've built a versatile cloud platform that eliminates infrastructure barriers, empowering builders to focus on innovation instead of fighting their stack. Because breakthrough AI should move at the speed of ideas, not infrastructure.
About the Role
We’re looking for an Operations Engineer to join our team during an exciting phase of growth. In this role, you’ll be responsible for monitoring systems, executing runbooks, and coordinating with on-site teams and engineering when escalation is needed, working closely with cross-functional partners to support business objectives while upholding our standards for excellence, collaboration, and impact.
This is an on-site role operating on a rotating 12-hour shift schedule (days OR nights), with alternating 3-day and 4-day work weeks.
What You’ll Do
Monitor customer environments in real time across TensorWave data centers using monitoring and observability platforms
Track key health indicators including GPU utilization, node availability, network performance, storage health, and Kubernetes cluster status
Identify anomalies, degradations, and emerging issues before they escalate into customer-impacting events
Maintain situational awareness of active customer workloads, scheduled maintenance windows, and known issues across the fleet
Provide regular health summaries and flag trends that may indicate systemic risks to customer environments
Serve as the first responder to customer-reported issues and system-generated alerts, performing initial triage and classification
Execute established runbooks to diagnose and resolve common infrastructure issues including node failures, connectivity problems, and resource contention
Escalate issues to L2 engineering or on-site data center teams with clear, actionable context
Maintain accurate incident records including timeline, actions taken, and resolution details in the ticketing system
Communicate status updates to internal stakeholders during active incidents, ensuring visibility across operations and customer-facing teams
Follow and contribute to operational runbooks and standard operating procedures, identifying gaps or improvements based on real-world incidents
Assist with monitoring and alerting tuning by providing feedback on alert quality, false positive rates, and coverage gaps
Document tribal knowledge, recurring issue patterns, and lessons learned to strengthen the team’s operational knowledge base
Participate in post-incident reviews, contributing observations from the frontline monitoring and response perspective
Support change management processes by monitoring customer environments during planned maintenance and infrastructure changes
Coordinate with on-site data center operations teams for hands-on remediation activities that require physical access
