Senior Python Systems Engineer (Agent & Infrastructure)
ClearML • Spain
Posted: March 8, 2026
Job Description
About the company
At ClearML, our mission is to make infrastructure management effortless across every phase of
the AI lifecycle -- from building and training AI models to large-scale production. Trusted by
more than 2,000 organizations, AI builders and IT teams use our AI infrastructure platform to
power everything from early-stage R&D to mission-critical public sector and enterprise-grade AI
pipelines.
We’re growing quickly and looking for curious, self-driven individuals who are excited to shape
the future of AI and the infrastructure that powers it. Our customers are tackling some of the
world’s most important challenges -- revolutionizing healthcare, discovering new medicines,
securing global finance, protecting national security, and preserving our planet’s ecosystems.
About the Role:
We are looking for a Senior Systems Engineer to own the execution layer of the ClearML
platform. You will be responsible for some of the critical components that spin up containers,
manage GPUs, and tunnel connections that make ClearML work seamlessly in multiple
environments.
This role sits at the intersection of Software Engineering and DevOps. You will write Python
code that orchestrates infrastructure, manages Docker containers, interacts with the Kubernetes
API, and handles low-level networking.
Responsibilities
● Agent Development: Design and optimize the clearml-agent, a Python service
responsible for pulling jobs, setting up environments, and executing ML pipelines.
● Kubernetes Integration: Write logic to interact directly with K8s APIs, manage Pod
life-cycles, and handle Custom Resource Definitions (CRDs).
● Resource Management: Implement logic for dynamic resource allocation
(GPU/CPU/Memory) and container orchestration.
● Systems Programming: Build robust daemons and services that interact with OS-level
primitives (systemd, signals, I/O streams).
● Networking: Troubleshoot and optimize TCP/IP connections, DNS resolution, and
firewall traversal to ensure seamless connectivity for users.
About the companyAt ClearML, our mission is to make infrastructure management effortless across every phase ofthe AI lifecycle -- from building and training AI models to large-scale production. Trusted bymore than 2,000 organizations, AI builders and I...● 8+ years of development experience with a strong focus on Systems Programming.
● Kubernetes Mastery: Deep understanding of Kubernetes architecture (beyond just
writing YAML). You should know how to write code that controls K8s.
● Container Internals: Extensive experience with Docker, including building and
maintaining images.
● Python for Systems: Experience using Python for automation, daemons, or CLI tools
(using libraries like subprocess, socket, asyncio).
● Networking Fundamentals: Strong grasp of HTTP/S, WebSockets, TCP/IP, Proxies,
and Reverse Proxies.
● OS Knowledge: strong understanding of Linux internals and shell scripting.
Advantages
● Experience with GPU hardware management (NVIDIA drivers, CUDA, NVIDIA Container
Toolkit).
● Experience building Kubernetes Operators/Controllers (using Kopf or Operator SDK).
● Background in HPC (High-Performance Computing) or Slurm/MPI.
● Experience with Go (Golang) is a plus (for specific K8s components).
