Job description

  • Infrastructure Lifecycle Management: Setting up and maintaining Linux-based compute servers and desktops/notebooks, and providing end-user support to our engineering teams;
  • Scripting Automation & Deployment: Design, implement, and scale automated OS deployment and configuration management frameworks (Ansible, Cobbler, Uyuni, FreeIPA) to minimize manual intervention and ensure consistent system state
  • CI/CD & DevOps Integration: Collaborate with software engineering teams to bridge the gap between development and operations, specifically by integrating and enhancing GitLab CI/CD pipelines to streamline software delivery
  • Distributed Storage tuning: Architect, maintain, and optimize Ceph (CephFS/RBD) distributed storage infrastructure to deliver the high-throughput, low-latency I/O required for engineering workloads.
  • Documentation & Knowledge Sharing: Maintain comprehensive technical documentation, including system architecture, standard operating procedures, and troubleshooting guides to facilitate knowledge transfer and team efficiency.
  • Datacenter Operations & Strategy: In addition to the above, actively assist with physical datacenter operations, including racking, cabling, and servicing servers and network equipment to maintain and optimize our infrastructure.

Requirements

  • 5+ years of experience managing complex, on-prem Linux compute environments, with a proven track record of supporting mission-critical R&D operations.
  • Experience building and maintaining automated provisioning workflows and configuration management frameworks using industry-standard tooling (Ansible, Cobbler, Uyuni, FreeIPA).
  • Proven proficiency in designing, maintaining, and integrating GitLab CI/CD pipelines within complex SDLC.
  • Good knowledge in the full lifecycle management of virtualized environments (VMware/Proxmox) and high-resiliency distributed storage clusters (Ceph/CephFS).
  • Experience in troubleshooting, performance tuning, and optimizing Linux distributions (RHEL, Rocky Linux, Ubuntu) within bare-metal and virtual infrastructure
  • Solid foundation in managing end-user Linux systems, with a working knowledge of macOS and Windows environments, including hardware lifecycle support.
  • Proven experience in creating and maintaining clear, accurate, and structured technical documentation for complex IT infrastructure, system procedures, and architectural standards.
  • Comfortable with sprint work, with certain periods of high and low work variability

Nice to have:

  • Knowledge of implementing and managing chip design tool installations within on-prem infrastructure, e.g., Cadence and Siemens tools, is a plus;
  • Experience in setting up and maintaining the NIS2 security standard.

What you need to succeed:

  • Being comfortable working within changing dynamic priorities and deadlines;
  • Able to handle high-end/low workload (e.g., tape-out phase);
  • Having a “Can-do” attitude and being a resilient problem-solver;
  • A self-starter with excellent communication and a customer-oriented mindset.
