You will be responsible for managing enterprise hardware, monitoring systems, network operations, infrastructure automation, and supporting our compute clusters across multiple data centers.

This role touches every layer of modern infrastructure - from bare metal provisioning, to OS and Kubernetes management, to monitoring and troubleshooting hardware.

If you are detail-oriented, resourceful, and comfortable working with both low-level hardware systems and higher-level DevOps tooling, we’d love to talk.

• Configure and support secure connectivity such as VPNs - IPsec, WireGuard, OpenVPN

• Support Kubernetes clusters at the infrastructure layer - node lifecycle, access, basic troubleshooting, and scaling

• Partner with internal teams to ensure compute clusters remain reliable, secure, and scalable across multiple data centers

Required Experience

• Bachelor of Science in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a related technical field, or equivalent practical experience

• Proven experience managing enterprise-grade hardware at scale

• Expertise with automation languages such as Python, Go, PHP, or Perl

• Familiarity with certificate management - key-based auth, and cryptographic functions.

• Experience with bare metal provisioning - MAAS, Foreman, or similar

• Understanding of PXE/UEFI/HTTP boot systems

• Ability to write functional, maintainable bash scripts for automation

Nice to Have
