Infrastructure Software Engineer, Fleet & Automation

As an Infrastructure Software Engineer for Fleet & Automation, you will be a critical member of the AI Infrastructure Operations team, responsible for ensuring the acceptance, performance, and scalability of our cutting-edge AI and High-Performance Computing (HPC) environments. Leveraging software engineering principles, you will focus on building and maintaining the control plane, tooling, and automation that supports Fleet Operations, Network Operations, and Observability functions. Your work will directly translate into higher system availability and reduced operational costs., * Perform technical architecture, roadmap and implementation for workflow automation systems, driving architecture decisions that balance automation complexity, reliability, and maintainability. Identify and resolve performance and scalability issues. Establish technology and product direction in collaboration with other tech leads, managers, and senior leadership.

• Own end-to-end delivery of device provisioning, validation, testing, and remediation workflows at scale.
• Design and build workflow orchestration systems for hardware lifecycle management, including GPU nodes and network switches.
• Partner with Infrastructure, Platform, and SRE teams to translate operational needs into robust, scalable automation.
• Establish engineering standards for reliability, observability, and operational excellence across all services. Help set up engineering best practices in collaboration with the broader engineering team.
• Build production-grade Python systems for hardware lifecycle automation, leveraging AI tools to accelerate delivery. Assess impact to team software stack from new hardware product programs and explore AI driven process improvement and automation.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams (product, design, operations, infrastructure) to build efficient, interoperable, and maintainable automated systems.

Do you have experience in Unit testing?, * Education: Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, relevant technical field, or equivalent practical experience.

• Experience: 5+ years relevant experience building large-scale infrastructure applications or similar experience.
• Programming: Experience in utilizing languages such as C, C++, Java, and scripting languages such as Python for API design and unit testing techniques.
