What we expect you to have:

• Strong professional experience as a software engineer, with a focus on Python
• Solid experience with Linux systems and shell scripting
• Hands-on experience working with bare-metal servers or low-level infrastructure
• Strong understanding of networking fundamentals (IPv4/IPv6, DHCP, DNS, PXE / network boot)
• Experience interacting with hardware management interfaces (BMC, IPMI-like protocols, APIs)
• Familiarity with CI/CD systems and production deployment workflows
• Experience designing or working with NoSQL databases
• Ability to debug complex issues spanning software, hardware, and networks
• Strong ownership mindset and clear communication skills in a distributed team

It will be an added bonus if you have:

• Experience operating or building systems for large-scale infrastructure
• Familiarity with ARM-based platforms in production environments
• Background in hardware testing, validation, or factory provisioning
• Experience with infrastructure automation or internal platform tooling
• Contributions to open-source or internal systems software projects
