Requirements

Candidates should have experience with Linux / Kubernetes systems and comfort working in a terminal, familiarity with infrastructure-as-code and Git-based workflows (e.g., Terraform, Flux, Kustomize), the ability to write and maintain basic tooling in Go, Python, or Bash, and understanding of networking fundamentals (IPAM, VLANs, DHCP, DNS). Working knowledge of storage concepts (block vs object, NFS, RAID, etc.) is also required, along with a strong sense of ownership and a willingness to dive into hardware, firmware, or low-level provisioning issues.

Responsibilities

The Senior Infrastructure Engineer will support the provisioning and deployment of Kubernetes clusters on bare metal servers, help build and maintain tooling for bare metal provisioning — including DHCP, DNS, PXE/iPXE/HTTPBoot, and Talos Linux Machine Configuration, write and maintain scripts and services (Go, Python, Bash) to automate deployment workflows across new and existing sites, partner with data center operations and networking teams to ensure hardware is correctly configured, connected, and ready for use, and manage infrastructure configuration using tools like Git, Flux, and Terraform. They will also contribute to system documentation, runbooks, and tooling that makes our infrastructure reliable and repeatable.
