## About the Role

* 2+ years of professional software engineering experience building backend services or systems software
 * Production experience in at least one of Rust, Go, or C/C++ -- and willingness to ramp on Rust as the primary language
 * Solid working knowledge of Linux -- processes, networking, systemd, basic kernel concepts
 * Comfortable with HTTP APIs, JSON, gRPC, and at least one of the common RPC/IPC patterns
 * Familiarity with at least one of IPMI, Redfish, BMC tooling, PXE/iPXE, or bare metal provisioning -- or strong systems fundamentals and clear interest in learning it
 * Comfortable reading vendor documentation, RFCs, and packet captures to figure out how something actually works
 * Strong written communication -- can write a clear design doc, PR description, or incident postmortem
 * Bonus: exposure to DPUs, SmartNICs, SR-IOV, IOMMU, or virtualization stacks (KVM/QEMU/libvirt)
 * Bonus: experience with BGP, VXLAN, or datacenter networking

## Description

* Build and maintain services that interact with server BMCs over IPMI and Redfish across a heterogeneous hardware fleet (Dell, Supermicro, HPE, AMD, NVIDIA platforms)
 * Develop control-plane tooling for DPU provisioning and lifecycle management (NVIDIA BlueField, AMD Pensando)
 * Implement and harden serial-over-LAN, virtual media, and remote console workflows
 * Write Rust services (and Go/PHP where appropriate) that are observable, well-tested, and safe to run unattended at fleet scale
 * Contribute to internal SDKs and shared libraries used by other infrastructure teams
 * Partner with datacenter operations and hardware vendors to debug firmware, BMC, and DPU behavior in production
 * Participate in design reviews, code reviews, and on-call rotations for the OOB control plane
 * Improve test coverage, CI/CD pipelines, and tooling that lets us ship hardware automation safely
 * Document interfaces, runbooks, and failure modes so the system stays operable as it grows
