This role is a core member of that team, responsible for reliability, automation, and observability across colo, on-premises lab, and cloud environments. You will own systems end-to-end, from provisioning through live incident response, partnering with hardware and software teams on CI/CD, QA, and HPC workloads for silicon development, as well as supporting customer-facing environments where d-Matrix partners collaborate on deployments. This is hands-on, high-ownership work: you'll build and operate real infrastructure, not manage tickets. What You Will Do * Own reliability and availability across colo server fleets, on-premises lab clusters, cloud environments (AWS, Azure, GCP), and customer-facing platform services. * Perform hands-on infrastructure work - server provisioning, OS configuration, networking, storage, and hardware troubleshooting - from bare metal through auto-scaling Kubernetes environments. * Lead capacity planning and hardware lifecycle management for your domains, and track cloud spend to support FinOps and workload placement decisions. * Drive all provisioning, deployment, and operational changes through Terraform and/or Ansible rather than manual steps, and contribute to shared IaC modules used across the global SRE and data center services teams. * Build and document automation that eliminates toil - host lifecycle management, fleet health checks, auto-remediation, self-service tooling, and networking automation for cluster interconnects and lab configurations. * Design and maintain monitoring, alerting, and SLIs (Prometheus/Grafana, DataDog, Splunk, or equivalent), contributing to AIOps-driven detection workflows. * Participate in on-call rotation, triaging and resolving incidents from bare metal to application layer, and produce high-quality RCAs for P0/P1 incidents. * Support platform services used by internal teams and external customers, ensuring QoS and uptime commitments and documenting operational runbooks. ## Related Videos - [Running Secure Life Science Research at Scale using Hybrid GPU HPC and Kubernetes 🧬](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100355-running-secure-life-science-research-at-scale-using-hybrid-gpu-hpc-and-kubernetes) - [Docker network without Docker](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1418-docker-network-without-docker) - [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) - [Docker exec without Docker](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1094-docker-exec-without-docker) - [SRE Methods In an Agency Environment](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/348-sre-methods-in-an-agency-environment) - [Discover the open source trio you didn’t expect: .NET and PostgreSQL on Linux](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/2042-discover-the-open-source-trio-you-didn-t-expect-net-and-postgresql-on-linux) ## 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) - [Highest Paying Tech Companies for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/220-highest-paying-tech-companies-for-developers) - [How to Become an AI Engineer](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/331-how-to-become-an-ai-engineer) - [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) - [Is Software Engineering Over-Saturated?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/418-is-software-engineering-over-saturated)
