Who You Are:
- You are a seasoned professional who bridges the gap between cloud-based workflows and physical, on-premises data center environments.
- You are a code-first engineer who prioritizes building reusable automation scripts in Python, Go, or Bash over manual configuration.
- You possess a proactive mindset that focuses on identifying system bottlenecks and infrastructure vulnerabilities before they impact development.
- You are a collaborative team member who communicates effectively with cross-functional groups like software engineering and QA.
- You are an analytical troubleshooter capable of performing deep-dive root cause analysis on both software pipelines and hardware failures.
What We Need:
- You will design and implement comprehensive automation frameworks to accelerate software delivery and infrastructure management.
- You will manage and scale containerized workloads across hybrid environments using Docker and Kubernetes orchestration.
- You will build and maintain robust CI/CD pipelines within GitHub or GitLab to ensure seamless code deployment and testing.
- You will develop sophisticated monitoring and alerting systems using tools like Prometheus and Grafana to ensure high system availability.
- You will create and manage infrastructure-as-code templates using Terraform and Ansible to maintain consistent testing environments.
What You Will Learn:
- You will gain specialized experience in managing infrastructure specifically optimized for next-generation AI hardware and silicon development.
- You will master the complexities of automating high-performance colocation data centers at scale.
- You will advance your knowledge of secure Linux infrastructure by implementing industry-standard security best practices.
- You will deepen your understanding of low-level networking and hardware isolation within a high-stakes testing environment.
- You will refine your ability to integrate emerging DevOps tools and methodologies into a rapidly evolving hardware-centric startup.
