The opportunity
We are building our own IDC infrastructure from the ground up. As a Senior Infrastructure Engineer, you will lead the architecture, buildout, and operations of our colocation data center — from rack layout to the on-prem Kubernetes platform.
What you'll do
Design rack layout, network topology, and overall configuration for colocation
Design and implement an isolated Out-of-Band (OOB) management network (BMC,: IPMI, Redfish) with full security hardening
Coordinate with colocation and hardware vendors: servers, switches, cross-connects, uplinks, remote hands, and cage/rack administration
Build bare-metal automation for fleet-wide zero-touch OS provisioning (MAAS / Tinkerbell / Cluster API)
Set up production-grade self-hosted Kubernetes clusters from scratch and: maintain the core stack: Cilium (CNI), GitOps (ArgoCD), etc.
Own cluster lifecycle: upgrades, scaling, node maintenance, incident response
What they're looking for
- + years in data center / infrastructure / platform engineering
- Hands-on experience building physical infrastructure from scratch: rack layout, network topology, server commissioning, and coordinating cross-connects and remote hands with colo / vendors
- Practical experience designing and operating OOB management networks (BMC, IPMI, Redfish)
- Have stood up production-grade self-hosted Kubernetes from scratch, and can: independently debug cluster-level issues (CNI, CSI, storage)
- Strong Linux systems administration and performance tuning (kernel, networking, storage I/O)
- Bare-metal automation experience with at least one of: MAAS, Tinkerbell, Cluster API
- Proficient with Terraform, Ansible, and at least one scripting language (Python / Go / Bash)
