What You’ll Be Doing (We don’t love the bullet points, but we love the work!)

Bring your curiosity to the systems that power demanding computing missions. At GIGATEC, you’ll deliver fast, reliable, and secure software deployments across high-performance computing environments, orchestrating complex configuration changes and software updates while maintaining security, compliance, and performance throughout the delivery lifecycle. You’ll build infrastructure automation, develop custom Ansible modules in Python, and deploy containerized services with Kubernetes and Helm. As the Tier 3 technical escalation lead, you’ll collaborate with Operations & Maintenance teams to investigate challenging infrastructure issues, uncover root causes, and create automated remediation that prevents recurrence and strengthens long-term reliability. If you find satisfaction in solving the problem everyone else escalates—and engineering a way to keep it solved—this role belongs on your radar.
