Strong Linux background with hands-on experience using out-of-band management technologies such as BMC, IPMI, and Redfish. Experience automating hardware workflows using Python or Go rather than relying on manual processes. Hands-on data center experience including racking, cabling, hardware installation, troubleshooting, and component replacement. Ability to methodically troubleshoot issues across hardware, firmware, and software layers, isolating root causes before implementing fixes. Willingness and ability to travel during deployment and turn-up activities. Nice to Have Skills & Experience Kubernetes-based bare metal provisioning. Accelerator platform bring-up and validation (NVIDIA, AMD, or custom hardware). Burn-in and stress-testing framework design. DCIM and inventory management tooling experience. ## Description Own compute turn-up from facility availability to ready-for-service: the stretch after the network hands off and before customers run workloads. Qualify racks at scale: establish firmware baselines, configure BMC and BIOS, run burn-in, and validate at node and cluster level across hundreds of racks per site on GPU and custom accelerator platforms. Drive qualification through the base-management Kubernetes platform and provisioning stack (discovery, imaging, firmware updates, shared services), burning down qualification queues with tooling rather than manual processes. Triage hardware failures found in qualification: isolate to component, drive RMA and vendor escalation, and feed failure patterns back into qualification gates. Run turn-up remotely by default, with on-site deployments of roughly a week per data hall as new halls reach facility availability, plus occasional overlapping-site engagements. Partner with network deployment, ICT, data center operations, and hardware teams during turn-up windows, and support incident response on newly deployed capacity. Ability to travel 20-30% of the time to data centers and lab environments as needed. ## Related Videos - [10M Data Records Lost, Underwater Computing, and Psychedelic Fish - Matthias Geniar](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1908-10m-data-records-lost-underwater-computing-and-psychedelic-fish-matthias-geniar) - [Docker network without Docker](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1418-docker-network-without-docker) - [Playing Pong on a shoulder press machine](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100140-playing-pong-on-a-shoulder-press-machine) - [Shipping Faster with Less: Render on Cloud Hosting, AI Workloads, and the Future of DevOps](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1894-shipping-faster-with-less-render-on-cloud-hosting-ai-workloads-and-the-future-of-devops) - [How to Submit CFPs and Get into Public Speaking - Moran Weber](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/2112-how-to-submit-cfps-and-get-into-public-speaking-moran-weber) - [A Deep Dive on How To Leverage the NVIDIA GB200 for Ultra-Fast Training and Inference on Kubernetes](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1625-a-deep-dive-on-how-to-leverage-the-nvidia-gb200-for-ultra-fast-training-and-inference-on-kubernetes) ## Related Articles - [How We Built a Worry-Free System That Runs for 10+ Years – And What We’d Do Again](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/751-how-we-built-a-worry-free-system-that-runs-for-10-years-and-what-we-d-do-again) - [7 Cloud Computing Trends Coming in 2025 for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/412-7-cloud-computing-trends-coming-in-2025-for-developers) - [Highest Paying Tech Companies for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/220-highest-paying-tech-companies-for-developers) - [Dev Digest 120 - Apple and peers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/455-dev-digest-120-apple-and-peers) - [Best US AI Conferences for CTOs in 2026: Build vs. Buy, Vendor Evaluation, and Peer Intelligence](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/736-best-us-ai-conferences-for-ctos-in-2026-build-vs-buy-vendor-evaluation-and-peer-intelligence) - [What Are The Top Skills Required For Azure Developers?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/77-what-are-the-top-skills-required-for-azure-developers)
