Who We're Looking For
- You are a seasoned professional adept at bridging cloud-based workflows with physical, on-premises data center environments.
- You are a code-first engineer, preferring to build reusable automation scripts in Python, Go, or Bash over manual configuration.
- You possess a proactive mindset, identifying system bottlenecks and infrastructure vulnerabilities before they impact development.
- You are a collaborative team member, communicating effectively with software engineering and QA groups.
- You are an analytical troubleshooter, capable of deep-dive root cause analysis on both software pipelines and hardware failures.
Your Responsibilities
- Design and implement comprehensive automation frameworks to accelerate software delivery and infrastructure management.
- Manage and scale containerized workloads across hybrid environments using Docker and Kubernetes orchestration.
- Build and maintain robust CI/CD pipelines within GitHub or GitLab for seamless code deployment and testing.
- Develop sophisticated monitoring and alerting systems using tools like Prometheus and Grafana for high system availability.
- Create and manage infrastructure-as-code templates using Terraform and Ansible to maintain consistent testing environments.
What You Will Gain
- Specialized experience in managing infrastructure optimized for next-generation AI hardware and silicon development.
- Mastery in automating high-performance colocation data centers at scale.
- Advanced knowledge of secure Linux infrastructure through implementing industry-standard security best practices.
- Deepened understanding of low-level networking and hardware isolation within high-stakes testing environments.
- Refined ability to integrate emerging DevOps tools and methodologies into a rapidly evolving hardware-centric startup.
