  • Enhance system performance for mission-critical, low-latency, and data-intensive applications.
  • Oversee the infrastructure for large-scale distributed systems, high-performance compute environments, and vast storage arrays.
  • Work closely with cross-functional teams to resolve complex technical issues, leveraging advanced diagnostic and monitoring tools.
  • Continuously improve infrastructure by implementing automation, streamlining workflows, and driving efficiency across the technology stack.

What We Are Looking For:

  • A degree in computer science or a related technical field, combined with 10-20 years of experience in system engineering or similar roles.
  • Expertise in Linux systems administration, with advanced knowledge of configuration management tools and practices.
  • Strong proficiency in Python, with familiarity in other languages like Go, Rust, or C being advantageous.
  • Practical experience with CI/CD pipelines, software deployment automation, and managing the software development lifecycle.
  • Exceptional troubleshooting and problem-solving skills, with hands-on experience in using diagnostic and tracing tools to resolve system issues.
  • Experience working with distributed systems, large-scale computing environments, and high-performance storage is highly preferred.

Who We Need: We seek individuals who thrive in complex, dynamic environments and have a genuine passion for technology. The ideal candidate will have a strong desire to continually enhance systems and tackle intricate technical challenges. If you’re eager to work with advanced technologies and contribute to high-performance systems, we encourage you to apply.
