## About the role

You are a hands-on engineer who builds the software and processes that keep a large fleet of GPU servers healthy and productive. You write systems and tooling for managing 1000s of servers including provisioning, health monitoring, error detection, and recovery — and when something breaks that automation can’t fix, you drive resolution with partners.

## What they're looking for

- 3+ years experience managing bare-metal and cloud based server fleets at scale (100+ nodes)
- Strong software engineering skills in Python, you write production tooling, not scripts
- Deep Linux systems knowledge: boot process, kernel tuning, networking, storage, systemd, cgroups, namespaces, performance profiling
- Strong experience with configuration management and infrastructure-as-code: Ansible, Terraform, cloud-init
- Solid understanding of storage technologies: LVM, RAID, NVMe, NFS, Lustre or GPFS, and Linux I/O stack tuning
- Familiarity with hardware diagnostics and failure modes (GPUs, NVMe, NICs, memory)
