Firmus Technologies

Firmus Technologies is a global leader pioneering the development and operation of efficient AI infrastructure across Asia Pacific.

Founded in Australia in 2019, our mission is to create the most efficient AI infrastructure by combining cutting-edge technology with a steadfast commitment to sustainability.

At Firmus, we are unique in our approach. We design, build, and operate a new class of digital infrastructure – the AI Factory. Through our model-to-grid technology approach, we have pushed the boundaries of multi-generational liquid cooling systems, energy management, AI software orchestration, and construction. For our customers, this approach allows us to make every watt count and deliver low-cost AI tokens globally.

Firmus AI Cloud

Our large-scale GPU cloud platform, Firmus AI Cloud, is purpose-built to deliver energy-efficient AI compute at scale to customers.

It empowers developers, enterprises, educational institutions, and government users to train and deploy AI models with unmatched efficiency and cost savings. With an ever-growing suite of services and applications, we are committed to delivering a cloud experience that is market-leading, proprietary, and built to scale.

AI FactoryOS Operations

AI FactoryOS is Firmus' proprietary operating system for the AI Factory. It governs GPU telemetry, cooling, power and grid interaction as one integrated layer, so that every Firmus site can be optimised and monitored as a single system.

AI FactoryOS Operations runs that platform in production and owns the 24/7 reliability of AI FactoryOS, Firmus AI Cloud and the platforms built on them, together with the service levels the estate is measured against.

The remit is an engineering one. The function builds the guarded automation, remediation and operational tooling that turn manual response into a software-defined capability, and builds and operates the shared services the estate's own operation depends on. The function works closely with the engineering teams that build the platform, supplying the production evidence that shapes what they fix and what they build next.

Role Summary

Firmus runs large-scale, state-of-the-art AI infrastructure built on the latest generation of GPU rack-scale systems and operated as one estate to power the next generation of AI innovation. The Senior Platform Reliability Engineer, Fabric and Interconnect, owns the reliability of the fabrics this estate runs on: the GPU-to-GPU interconnect domains, the high-performance network fabrics carrying training and inference traffic, and the DPU-based host networking that binds compute to the rest of the platform.

This is a hands-on senior role with deep technical expertise. Automation is a first-class part of the role: the team builds and maintains the guarded automation and remediation tooling that turn manual fabric response into a self-healing capability, and the role engages fabric vendors at engineering level, reproducing faults to their standard and holding them to their answers.

Key Responsibilities

Responsible for the reliable operation, automation and continuous improvement of the estate's GPU interconnect and network fabrics (for example NVLink and NVSwitch domains, InfiniBand and Spectrum-X).
Build and maintain the guarded automation and remediation tooling for fabric faults, contributing to the software-driven remediation of AI clusters, including fault isolation and fabric reconvergence.
Diagnose and tune performance across the interconnect stack, from application collective communication down to link level, working with technologies including NVLink, InfiniBand, RoCE and congestion control tuning.
Operate DPU-based host networking across the fleet, including offload path configuration and driver and firmware compatibility.
Execute firmware upgrade waves, fabric expansions and capacity changes to the supported paths and scaling patterns defined by AI Infrastructure, owning the production window, the staged or canary path, verification against declared success criteria, and rollback execution.
