Job Title: Senior Software Engineer (Capacity and Quota Management)
This position is listed on behalf of a partner company, who manages all applications and next steps. Our partner is looking for a Senior Software Engineer (Capacity and Quota Management) based in United Kingdom.
About the Role
Join a high-impact engineering team responsible for controlling how compute resources are allocated across a large-scale AI cloud platform.
You will build and evolve the control plane that determines who receives compute resources, when they receive them, and how much capacity they can use.
- The role covers both GPU capacity reservations and quota management across multiple cloud services.
- You will tackle challenging distributed-systems problems involving resource allocation, consistency, reliability, rebalancing, and automated reclamation.
- Your work will directly influence infrastructure efficiency, customer experience, and the ability to deliver reliable compute at scale.
This is a high-ownership position where you will help shape technical foundations, architectural decisions, and long-term platform evolution.
You will work in a fast-moving, international engineering environment with significant autonomy and the opportunity to contribute to the future of AI infrastructure.
Accountabilities
- Design, develop, and evolve the Capacity and Quota Management control plane responsible for allocating and managing compute resources.
- Build and maintain a capacity reservation engine that manages guaranteed GPU reservations throughout their lifecycle.
- Develop and improve resource rebalancing and automated reclamation mechanisms to maximise infrastructure utilisation while maintaining customer commitments.
- Build and evolve the Quotas Control Plane responsible for managing quotas across multiple services and handling customer and internal quota requests.
- Design and implement resource distribution algorithms that balance capacity availability, customer requirements, and operational constraints.
- Develop reliable APIs that provide external customers, internal users, and downstream services with visibility and control over resource limits and allocations.
- Solve complex distributed-systems challenges involving transactions, consistency, asynchronous processing, and service reliability.
- Contribute to the technical architecture and long-term evolution of the platform, making decisions that remain effective beyond individual features or projects.
- Collaborate with engineers and stakeholders to translate infrastructure and product requirements into scalable, maintainable technical solutions.
- Take strong ownership of engineering outcomes, proactively identifying opportunities to improve system reliability, scalability, resource efficiency, and operational performance.
