Maintain and support core infrastructure systems

Maintain and support core infrastructure systems with deep knowledge of Linux (Debian/Ubuntu preferred). Work close to the metal: BIOS, IPMI, RAID setups, and hardware-level diagnostics are part of your comfort zone.

Design and maintain scalable networks

  • Work with VLANs, L2/L3 routing, VPNs, and especially UniFi equipment.
  • Automate infrastructure provisioning and operations with Ansible, Bash/Python, and Git-based workflows.

Automate infrastructure provisioning and operations

  • Set up and manage observability stacks, including Prometheus/Grafana for metrics and Graylog, ELK, or Loki for log centralization.
  • Build tooling for server discovery, config auto-generation, automated OS deployments, PXE/Preseed/Cloud-init, and strong MAAS-based provisioning.

Integrate and/or develop internal APIs

  • Integrate and/or develop internal APIs for tracking compute and GPU resource allocation, as well as external APIs (billing, monitoring, OpenStack, etc.).

Deploy and maintain virtualization and orchestration systems

  • Deploy and maintain virtualization and orchestration systems such as OpenStack (preferably with Kolla-Ansible), Proxmox VE, or VMware ESXi.

Support container-based workloads

  • Support container-based workloads and isolate services efficiently.

What You Bring

  • Expert-level Linux administration (preferably Debian/Ubuntu).
  • Strong MAAS / Ironic / bare-metal automation experience (mandatory).
  • Excellent networking fundamentals: VLANs, routing, VPNs.
  • Infrastructure as Code (Ansible), scripting (Bash/Python), GitOps.
  • Experience with monitoring and logging tools like Prometheus, Grafana, ELK/Graylog.
  • Comfort with custom deployment automation (PXE, Preseed, MAAS/Ironic).
  • Familiarity with resource tracking, API integrations, and dashboard development.
  • Proven experience with OpenStack, Proxmox, VMware, and container orchestration.

Nice To Have

  • Familiarity with firewall rules, access control, and security policies.
  • Experience with Cloudflare API for DNS management and tunnel setups.
  • IT asset management or software license tracking exposure is a plus.
