## About the role

Most infrastructure engineers never get to build a cloud from the metal up. At Render, you will. Developers and businesses around the world run their apps on Render, and we are building our own bare metal footprint to give them better performance and economics. You'll help take our first colocation site from an empty cage to production workloads, then scale that foundation as we expand our physical presence to thousands of hosts over the coming years. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

## What they're looking for

- Hands-on experience building and operating automation for bare metal fleets in datacenters or colocation
- Both sides of the work: time with physical hardware and colo providers, and modern, software-driven fleet management
- Strong Go or Python, and experience designing systems with reconciliation loops and idempotent, failure-tolerant actions
- Depth below the abstraction: you know what your tools are doing under the hood and can debug them when they fail
- Experience operating through real failures, such as bad hardware batches, flapping BMCs, or a rollout you had to halt
- Deep Linux knowledge and solid networking fundamentals (DHCP, PXE, DNS, BGP)
