Professional Background

Were looking for an SRE / Network Engineer engineer with deep expertise in Metal-as-a-Service (MAAS) and bare‑metal automation. You should have a strong Linux background and direct experience managing large-scale on‑prem and cloud-adjacent infrastructures hundreds of nodes across multiple sites. Startup or hyper‑growth experience is a strong plus. Autonomy, speed, and problem‑solving are essential.

Your Responsabilities

• Maintain and support core infrastructure systems with deep knowledge of Linux (Debian / Ubuntu preferred).

• Design and maintain scalable networks using VLANs, L2 / L3 routing, VPNs, and especially UniFi equipment.
• Automate infrastructure provisioning and operations with Ansible, Bash / Python, and Git-based workflows.
• Set up and manage observability stacks, including Prometheus / Grafana for metrics and Graylog, ELK, or Loki for log centralization.
• Build tooling for server discovery, config auto-generation, automated OS deployments, PXE / Preseed / Cloud-init, and strong MAAS-based provisioning.
• Integrate and / or develop internal APIs for tracking compute and GPU resource allocation, as well as external APIs (billing, monitoring, OpenStack, etc.).
• Deploy and maintain virtualization and orchestration systems such as OpenStack (preferably with Kolla‑Ansible), Proxmox VE, or VMware ESXi.
• Support container-based workloads and isolate services efficiently.

What You Bring

• Expert-level Linux administration (preferably Debian / Ubuntu).
• Strong MAAS / Ironic / bare-metal automation experience (mandatory).
• Excellent networking fundamentals: VLANs, routing, VPNs.
• Infrastructure as Code (Ansible), scripting (Bash / Python), GitOps.
• Experience with monitoring and logging tools like Prometheus, Grafana, ELK / Graylog.
• Comfort with custom deployment automation (PXE, Preseed, MAAS / Ironic).
• Familiarity with resource tracking, API integrations, and dashboard development.
• Proven experience with OpenStack, Proxmox, VMware, and container orchestration.

Nice To Have

• Familiarity with firewall rules, access control, and security policies.
• Experience with Cloudflare API for DNS management and tunnel setups.
• IT asset management or software license tracking exposure is a plus.
