About the Institute of Foundation Models
We are a dedicated research lab for building, understanding, using, and risk-managing foundation models. Our mandate is to advance research, nurture the next generation of AI builders, and drive transformative contributions to a knowledge-driven economy.
As part of our team, you’ll have the opportunity to work on the core of cutting-edge foundation model training, alongside world-class researchers, data scientists, and engineers, tackling the most fundamental and impactful challenges in AI development. You will participate in the development of groundbreaking AI solutions that have the potential to reshape entire industries. Strategic and innovative problem-solving skills will be instrumental in establishing MBZUAI as a global hub for high-performance computing in deep learning, driving impactful discoveries that inspire the next generation of AI pioneers.
The Role
As a Storage Systems Engineer on the IFM Supercomputing Team , you will design, build, and optimize high-performance storage systems to support some of the most advanced GPU supercomputing clusters in academia. These clusters power both AI training and inference workloads, requiring exceptional reliability, scalability, and low-latency data access.
Job Responsibilities
- Architect and implement distributed and parallel file systems (e.g., Lustre, DDN, VAST) optimized for large-scale AI and HPC workloads.
- Ensure seamless integration of storage with compute clusters managed by Slurm, Kubernetes and other orchestration systems.
- Optimize I / O performance for high-throughput, low-latency access using modern storage technologies (NVMe, SSD) and parallel file systems.
- Collaborate with infrastructure teams to enhance deployment pipelines using Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) tools, ensuring reproducibility and reliability.
- Monitor and maintain storage systems across on-premise and hybrid environments, proactively addressing performance bottlenecks and system failures.
- Contribute to capacity planning, fault tolerance, and data durability strategies aligned with IFM’s growing computational demands.
