Proficiency with Ansible or Python and hands-on experience programmatically managing server BMCs through Redfish or IPMI; Redfish is preferred. Experience working with hardware vendors and OEMs to evaluate, qualify, and deploy server solutions. Experience troubleshooting production infrastructure, participating in on-call or escalation rotations, and resolving incidents through root-cause analysis. Ability to build and automate systems while also supporting infrastructure in production. Commitment to staying current with server and data center hardware technologies and trends, and to improving automation and scalability. Strong technical writing, attention to detail, analytical and problem-solving skills, and a systematic, data-informed approach. Excellent written and spoken English and the ability to work effectively with technical teams and cross-functional stakeholders. Preferred: experience launching data center regions or infrastructure in new geographies; working with GPU platforms and rack-scale systems such as NVIDIA GB200 or GB300; or managing BMC interfaces such as Redfish or IPMI across a fleet. Preferred: experience with firmware lifecycle management or large-scale hardware qualification; Linux administration and debugging at fleet scale; Kubernetes-based services, Prometheus, Grafana, or distributed production environments; operational alerting, runbooks, and self-service tooling; or technical troubleshooting for external customers or partners. This role requires access to export-controlled information. Applicants must be a U.S. person (a U.S. citizen or national, lawful permanent resident, refugee, or asylee) or otherwise eligible to access the information without a required export authorization. Responsibilities: Design, develop, and optimize server hardware infrastructure for our high-performance workloads. Automate the server hardware lifecycle, including provisioning, configuration, firmware management, monitoring, and decommissioning. Develop and maintain hardware and firmware management services that support reliability at scale. Build monitoring and alerting for hardware health, improving alert quality and on-call response. Act as a senior contact for hardware escalations, troubleshoot hardware and firmware issues, identify root causes, and drive lasting fixes. Participate in the hardware escalation on-call rotation and improve its runbooks, alerts, and tools. Work with cross-functional teams to define hardware requirements, specifications, and system architecture. Partner with server vendors and OEMs to evaluate, qualify, and deploy platforms and resolve firmware, quality, and RMA issues. Support new data center region launches and hardware qualification. Assess hardware performance, identify bottlenecks, and improve efficiency and resilience. Establish and refine internal hardware testing, deployment, and performance optimization processes. Create and maintain documentation for hardware designs, specifications, test procedures, and results. Provide data center operations teams and hardware technicians with troubleshooting guidance, runbooks, and training to help resolve common issues without engineering escalation. Use recurring production failures to improve automation, telemetry, platform design, and vendor solutions. Clearly communicate status, trade-offs, and risks to engineering, operations, and customer-facing stakeholders, including during incidents.
