Job summary

Olix Computing Limited in Austin, TX is hiring a senior infrastructure engineer to own the internal platform used by engineering teams, spanning compute, storage, networking, CI/CD, and security. This hands-on role offers high ownership to shape infrastructure from the ground up.

You will automate with Terraform, Ansible, Python and Bash, manage hybrid cloud and on‑prem environments, strengthen security, and collaborate with hardware and ML engineers to accelerate development.

Qualifications

• 5+ years in infrastructure, platform, or DevOps/SRE engineering, with end-to-end ownership.
• Strong infrastructure-as-code and automation skills: Terraform, Ansible, and scripting in Python and Bash.
• Solid networking fundamentals.
• Experience operating across hybrid cloud and on-prem/bare-metal environments.
• Strong grasp of infrastructure security: IAM, secrets management, network security, and hardening across cloud and self-hosted systems.
• Excellent problem-solving skills in a fast-moving environment.
• Collaborative communicator working with hardware and ML engineers to explain infrastructure trade-offs.
• Bachelor's degree in computer science, related field, or equivalent practical experience.

Responsibilities

• Build and operate the platform: design, provision, and run Kubernetes and bare-metal infrastructure for development, simulation, and testing workloads.
• Automate everything: own infrastructure-as-code (Terraform) and provisioning pipelines for reproducible environments.
• Improve the developer platform: CI/CD, internal tooling, self-service workflows for hardware, software, and compiler engineers.
• Tune for performance: optimise networking and storage for ML and hardware workloads.
• Own reliability and observability: monitoring, alerting, capacity planning across hybrid cloud and on-prem.
• Own platform security: IAM, secrets management, data protection, threat detection across self-hosted and cloud infra.
• Drive continuous improvement: fix bottlenecks and reliability gaps to speed the team.

Job description

About OLIX

AI is growing faster than any technology in history and the explosion in demand has created a massive infrastructure gap; we can no longer build chips or power stations fast enough to keep up. The industry is still leaning on a ten-year-old hardware blueprint that has reached its limit. A new paradigm that is faster and more efficient will be the biggest economic opportunity of the next century and create the most important company of the next decade. The OLIX Decode Accelerator 1 (DX-1) is the first accelerator architected specifically for decode. Rack‑scale co‑design of logic, data movement, packaging, optics and interconnect enables a step change in system level performance.

The Role

We're hiring a senior infrastructure engineer to own the internal platform our engineering teams build, test, and collaborate on, spanning compute, storage, networking, build and CI/CD systems, and the security that protects all of it, while partnering with our IT function on identity, devices, and access across the company. You'll turn slow, manual, loosely secured workflows into fast, reproducible, and genuinely secure ones. This is a hands‑on, high‑ownership role with the freedom to define how internal infrastructure, security, and the technical side of IT work here from the ground up. If you care about engineering velocity, solid networking, best‑in‑class security, and a well‑run technical environment in equal measure, there's a lot to dig into.

Responsibilities

• Build and operate the platform: design, provision, and run the Kubernetes and bare‑metal infrastructure that powers development, simulation, and testing workloads.

• Automate everything: own infrastructure‑as‑code (Terraform) and provisioning pipelines so environments are reproducible, version‑controlled, and fast to stand up or tear down.

• Improve the developer platform: build and maintain CI/CD, internal tooling, and self‑service workflows that let hardware, software, and compiler engineers ship without waiting on you.

• Tune for performance: optimise networking (VLANs, firewalls, VPNs, and low‑latency/high‑bandwidth fabrics) and storage for the throughput and latency that ML and hardware workloads require.

• Own reliability and observability: implement monitoring, alerting, and capacity planning, and drive availability and performance across hybrid cloud and on‑prem environments.

• Own platform security: implement identity and access management, secrets management, data protection, and threat detection across self‑hosted and cloud infrastructure.

• Drive continuous improvement: proactively find and fix the bottlenecks, manual steps, and reliability gaps that slow the wider engineering team down.

Skills & Experience

• 5+ years in infrastructure, platform, or DevOps/SRE engineering, with a track record of owning systems end to end.

• Strong infrastructure‑as‑code and automation skills: Terraform, Ansible, and scripting in Python and Bash.

• Solid networking fundamentals.

• Experience operating across hybrid cloud and on‑prem/bare‑metal environments.

• Strong grasp of infrastructure security: IAM, secrets management, network security, and hardening across cloud and self‑hosted systems.

• Excellent problem‑solving skills, with the ability to diagnose and resolve complex, cross‑layer issues in a fast‑moving environment.

• A collaborative communicator who can work with hardware and ML engineers and explain infrastructure trade‑offs clearly.

• Bachelor's degree in computer science, a related field, or equivalent practical experience.

Compensation & Equity

• Competitive Salary: Commensurate with your experience, skills, and location.

• Equity & Ownership: Meaningful stock options. You’re not just joining the mission; you’re owning a piece of it.

• Proximity Bonus: We value your time. To minimise your commute and maximise your life, we offer an annual Living‑Local Bonus if your residence is within 20 minutes of the office.

• Retirement Benefits: Employer‑contributed retirement plans to help you build long‑term financial security.

Due to U.S. export control regulations, candidates’ eligibility to work at OLIX depends on their most recent citizenship or permanent residency status. We are generally unable to consider applicants whose most recent citizenship or permanent residence is in certain restricted countries (currently including Iran, North Korea, Syria, Cuba, Russia, Belarus, China, Hong Kong, Macau, and Venezuela). Applicants who have subsequently obtained citizenship or permanent residency in another country not subject to these restrictions may still be eligible.
