We don't just build products; we build companies. /p h3bAbout AIVB /b /h3 pFounded in 2024 by Marco Tognoni and Matteo Testi, AIVB is an AI Venture Builder designed to scale innovation at speed. Our team of 40 is anchored by an elite engineering core, primarily AI PhDs, who transform complex research into vertical‑specific powerhouses. /p pWe operate through a Centralized Powerhouse that develops strategic blueprints for specialized spinoffs in high‑impact sectors such as Fashion, Real Estate, and CyberDefense. We are "International by Design", English is our language, and global scale is our target. /p h3bWhy this role matters /b /h3 pWe are building cutting‑edge AI solutions within the boundaries of the Italian National Cloud Strategy. You won't just be clicking buttons in AWS; you will be architecting compliant, self‑hosted AI platforms on sovereign infrastructure. This is a role for an engineer who understands how to build cloud‑native reliability without relying on public hyperscalers. /p h3bRole Summary /b /h3 pAs a DevOps Engineer for Sovereign AI, you will design and maintain the infrastructure that powers our AI/ML workloads on Italian National Cloud providers (e.g., SeeWeb, Netalia, Aruba). Your focus will be on self‑managed Kubernetes, strict Data Sovereignty,
and implementing open‑source MLOps toolchains that function independently of US‑based public clouds. /p h3bKey Responsibilities /b /h3 pb1. Sovereign Infrastructure Orchestration /b /p ul lipDeploy and manage production‑grade Kubernetes clusters on private cloud or national provider infrastructure (using Kubernetes / Rancher). /p /li lipEnsure high availability and disaster recovery within the specific zones/regions of the national provider. /p /li /ul pb2. Self-Hosted MLOps /b /p ul lipSince we cannot use managed services, you will architect and maintain a self‑hosted MLOps stack using tools like MLflow, or Kubeflow. /p /li lipConfigure and optimize MinIO‑like S3‑compatible object storage (e.g. SeaweedFS, Garage) to handle large training datasets locally. /p /li lipManage container registries (Harbor) located strictly within Italian borders. /p /li /ul pb3. Compliance Security (GDPR/AGID) /b /p ul lipStrictly enforce Data Sovereignty principles; ensure no data egresses outside of Italy/EU. /p /li lipImplement security standards compliant with AGID (Agenzia per l'Italia Digitale) and ACN (Agenzia per la Cybersicurezza Nazionale) guidelines. /p /li /ul pb4. GPU Hardware Optimization /b /p ul lipConfigure NVIDIA vGPU or PCI passthrough on virtualized national cloud instances. /p /li lipOptimize the AI stack (CUDA drivers, Container Toolkit) for maximum performance on constrained infrastructure. /p /li lipServerless GPU usage experience /p /li /ul h3bTech Stack Skills /b /h3 pThe environment is "Cloud Native" but relies heavily on open‑source and self‑hosted equivalents of public cloud services. /p pbDomain Related Technology: /b /p ul lipCloud Environment - Italian National Cloud (Seeweb, Netalia) /p /li lipOrchestration - Kubernetes,
