About Krea
At Krea, we are building next-generation AI creative tools.
We are dedicated to making AI intuitive and controllable for creatives. Our mission is to build tools that empower human creativity, not replace it.
We believe AI is a new medium that allows us to express ourselves through various formats—text, images, video, sound, and even 3D. We're building better, smarter, and more controllable tools to harness this medium.
This job
Robust, reliable, and scalable distributed systems form the backbone of Krea. These systems support the infrastructure that powers our AI research, real-time user experiences, and large-scale model deployments.
As a Distributed Systems Engineer, you will…
… design, build, and maintain large-scale distributed infrastructure to reliably support AI research and real-time model serving.
… own and scale our multi-thousand-node Kubernetes GPU clusters, ensuring efficient and fault-tolerant operations.
… collaborate closely with ML engineers and researchers to architect systems that enable rapid experimentation and deployment.
… improve network architecture, optimize load balancing, and streamline operational practices across multi-zone cloud deployments.
Example projects
Own and manage a large-scale Kubernetes cluster designed to run extensive ML training and inference workloads.
Architect fault-tolerant systems ensuring uninterrupted model training and real-time inference despite individual node failures.
Develop and implement optimized load-balancing strategies to efficiently distribute workloads across zones.
Create comprehensive monitoring, alerting systems, and operational playbooks for high-availability clusters.
Migrate existing deployments to Infrastructure as Code (Terraform) for reproducibility and scalability.
Setting up IP-based rate-limiting to prevent GPU abuse.
Strong candidates may have experience with…
Kubernetes at scale (thousands of nodes)
Cloud infrastructure management (AWS/GCP/Azure)
High-performance and fault-tolerant networking
Low-level Linux interfaces and administration
Debugging complex distributed systems in production
Python, Golang, Ruby, Rust, and similar systems languages
Bonus: Infrastructure as Code (e.g. Terraform)
