## Description

We are looking for an Infrastructure & Operations Engineer to take operational ownership of our test automation infrastructure. This ownership is firmly focused on stability and reliability, and the role involves significant hands-on software development, primarily in Rust, to continuously improve operability, observability, and automation. You will work as part of a small, highly practical team where building and operating the system go hand in hand., * Operate, maintain, and continuously improve a bare-metal Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) test infrastructure

 * Deploy and run a Rust-based control plane for reserving and remotely interacting with physical devices
 * Actively develop and improve Rust services where needed, especially around reliability, observability, and automation
 * Manage NixOS-based systems end-to-end: provisioning, updates, rollbacks
 * Integrate and automate hardware control (USB/serial, USB-OTG, power control, HDMI capture, networked devices)
 * Leverage existing tracing and metrics to improve monitoring, alerting, and system reliability
