About

Utilidata is a fast-growing NVIDIA-backed edge AI company enabling greater visibility and control of power utilization in energy-intensive infrastructure, like the electric grid and data centers. Karman, the company’s distributed AI platform powered by a custom NVIDIA module, is transforming the way utility companies operate the grid edge and will enable data centers to unlock more compute for the same provisioned power.
We are seeking a DevOps Engineer to help design, build, and operate Utilidata’s off‑device platform that ingests, processes, and serves data flowing from edge AI devices.

This engineer will architect and maintain the systems that keep our platform running, set technical direction for infrastructure and deployment practices, and mentor engineers. This engineer will partner closely with on‑device and ML teams to ensure our off‑device platform is resilient, well‑instrumented, and ready to scale. This is a remote position based in the United States, working with distributed teams across the country.
