Professional Background:

We're looking for an Infra/DevOps 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 infrastructureshundreds of nodes across multiple sites.

Startup or hyper‑growth experience is a strong plus. Autonomy, speed, and problem‑solving are essential.

Your Responsibilities:

• Maintain and support core infrastructure systems with deep knowledge of Linux (Debian/Ubuntu preferred).
• Work close to the metal: BIOS, IPMI, RAID setups, and hardware‑level diagnostics are part of your comfort zone.
• 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.
