We’re looking for a senior-level infrastructure engineer to lead the design and optimization of high-performance storage and compute systems at MNTN.

- Tune Linux kernel parameters for optimal disk and network throughput—e.g., adjusting block sizes, optimizing IOPS, striping.
- Design and support hybrid infrastructure solutions that combine colocated servers and cloud platforms.
- Lead automation efforts using Ansible and scripting (Python, Bash) to configure, deploy, and maintain server clusters.
- Own the performance and scalability of systems supporting large-scale database clusters (e.g., Postgres, MySQL, Oracle).
- Define templates and standards for infrastructure deployment and management.
- Drive ongoing performance improvements across the infrastructure stack.
- Manage all aspects of data center operations including rack layout, IP planning, and hardware logistics.
- Establish robust monitoring and alerting for all infrastructure components.
- 8+ years in infrastructure engineering or systems administration, with increasing scope and leadership.
- Demonstrated experience tuning Linux kernel settings for disk and network performance.
- Deep experience with virtualized environments (multiple hypervisors).
- Proven ability to support large-scale SAAS infrastructure and large database clusters.
- Strong scripting and automation skills in Python and Bash.
- Familiarity with storage technologies, particularly iSCSI and network-based storage.
- Understanding of core networking concepts, including layer 3 routing and TCP/IP fundamentals.
