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.
