Member of Technical Staff - Bare Metal & Fleet Provisioning

Role Impact

You'll build the systems that turn bare-metal GPU servers into reliable, production-ready compute. Own the machine lifecycle from discovery and provisioning through validation, upgrades, repair, and secure reuse, reducing manual work as our fleet grows.

Core Technical Responsibilities

• Build automated discovery, network boot, OS imaging, and configuration workflows for GPU servers
• Automate BIOS, BMC, NIC, GPU driver, and firmware configuration with staged rollouts and safe recovery paths
• Develop hardware inventory and lifecycle services that track machine identity, configuration, health, and readiness
• Create acceptance tests and burn-in workflows for GPUs, memory, storage, and interconnects before capacity enters production
• Integrate provisioning and health checks with SLURM, Kubernetes, and compute allocation systems
• Build observability, quarantine, repair, and re-provisioning workflows; partner with datacenter teams to resolve hardware failures
• Implement secure credential handling, tenant isolation, and data sanitization across the server lifecycle

Technical Requirements

Required Experience

• 3+ years of experience operating Linux servers or building bare-metal infrastructure automation in production
• Hands-on experience with PXE/iPXE, DHCP, image provisioning, and out-of-band management such as Redfish or IPMI
• Strong software engineering and debugging skills in Python, Go, or a comparable language, plus Bash
• Experience designing reliable automation that handles partial failures, retries, and configuration drift
• Ability to own operational incidents and collaborate across hardware, networking, and platform teams

Infrastructure Skills

• Linux boot, systemd, kernel and driver troubleshooting, and OS image management
• Infrastructure automation with tools such as Ansible and Terraform
• GPU server diagnostics, PCIe topology, BMC telemetry, and firmware compatibility
• Network fundamentals including addressing, VLANs, DNS, and management networks
• Metrics, logs, alerting, and auditable configuration management

Nice to Have

• Experience with large NVIDIA GPU fleets, DGX/HGX platforms, or heterogeneous server vendors
• Experience with MAAS, Ironic, Tinkerbell, or similar provisioning systems
• Kubernetes or SLURM node lifecycle integrations
• Hardware qualification, automated burn-in, and fleet health scoring
• Contributions to open-source infrastructure tooling
