Job Overview by Ladders

Qualifications

  • 5+ years in infrastructure automation using Go or Python in production.
  • Experience with bare-metal provisioning tools.
  • Deep debugging skills in Linux, including kernel, drivers, and networking.
  • Problem-solving mindset, treating operational pain as software bugs to fix.
  • Bonus: Experience with GPU systems, Kubernetes internals, IPMI, Redfish, or storage systems.

Responsibilities

  • Build the IaaS layer for GPU fleets, focusing on automation and lifecycle management.
  • Automate bare-metal workflows from image creation to handover.
  • Debug compute, network, and storage issues related to tenant workloads.
  • Develop software to eliminate manual processes and automate operations.
  • Set operational standards that define the team's performance and capability.

Benefits

  • Full autonomy in your role with the freedom to take ownership of projects.
  • Opportunity to work at scale, running operations that exceed national power consumption.
  • Fast-paced work environment that values velocity and efficiency.
  • A culture that emphasizes challenging assumptions and finding the best solutions.
  • Exposure to cutting-edge AI technologies and the chance to push the industry frontier.
Full Job Description
How We Operate
  • Extreme ownership. Full autonomy. Own things end to end often taking on scope outside your core role without being asked to get things done.
  • Velocity. We drive everything forward as fast as possible.
  • First principles. Challenge every assumption. Zero analogy thinking, no egos, the best idea wins.
  • Love of the game. The frontier of AI is the most interesting problem of our time. We put in long hours at high intensity to push the frontier forward.

The Data Center Operations Team

Examples of key problems the team is working on
  • Operate at the scale of a nation, not a building. The fleet you run will draw more power than some countries, on the way to 100 GW.
  • Fly the plane while it's being built. Sites come online in pieces, and you keep the live ones running flawlessly while construction continues around them.
  • Write the playbook, don't inherit it. No prior operations org has run at this speed and scale, so the standards you set become the standard.

Role Scope
  • Build the IaaS layer: provisioning automation, tenant isolation, and lifecycle management for GPU fleets.
  • Automate bare-metal workflows end to end: image, boot, configure, validate, hand over.
  • Debug across compute, network, and storage when tenant workloads misbehave.
  • Write software that removes toil: every manual runbook is a backlog item with your name on it.

What We're Looking For

The below is a starting point. We always make space for exceptional people, so if you don't fit this role exactly, tell us where you would.
  • You've built infrastructure automation running in production, in Go or Python against real systems.
  • You've worked with bare-metal provisioning tooling and know where it lies to you.
  • You debug Linux deeply: kernel, drivers, networking.
  • You treat operational pain as a software bug, and you fix it.
  • Bonus: GPU systems. Kubernetes internals. IPMI and Redfish. Storage systems.


We are committed to pay equity and transparency.
