Qualifications

• 6+ years of non-internship professional software development experience.
• 6+ years of systems design, software development, operations, automation, and process improvement experience.
• 6+ years of designing or architecting (design patterns, reliability and scaling) of new and existing systems experience.

• Drive toward zero-touch operations — automation that detects, diagnoses, triages, and remediates hardware and software faults without human intervention.
• Develop monitoring tools, dashboards, and alerting systems to provide real-time visibility into fleet health across lab and production environments.
• Define and track fleet health metrics (failure rates, MTTD, MTTR, first-time fix rate, predictive accuracy).
• Debug and resolve complex system-level issues across storage, compute, GPU, networking in production environments.
• Troubleshoot Linux boot and runtime failures across x86 and ARM architectures, including PCIe, power, NIC, NVMe, and GPU subsystems.
• Perform root cause analysis on hardware failures — correlating across firmware, kernel, driver, and physical layer to isolate faults.
• Build diagnostic tooling that automates root cause identification and reduces reliance on manual triage.
