You will: - Lead the Machine Bootstrap pod in building and evolving provisioning and fleet management at massive scale. - Ship fleet-wide maintenance operations (BIOS updates, firmware updates, configuration changes) to hundreds of thousands of machines through MAPI. - Drive best-in-class provisioning performance, minutes to fully rebuild a machine from scratch. - Evaluate and integrate new hardware platforms including GPU servers and AI accelerators into the provisioning pipeline. - Collaborate across Compute, Networking, and Cloud teams on the full machine lifecycle from rack-and-stack to production. You have: - 4+ years of experience with strong expertise in distributed systems and infrastructure. - Bachelor's degree in computer science or equivalent field - Strong proficiency in Go, C/C++, Rust or other system level programming languages. - Experience building and operating large-scale distributed systems that other engineering teams depend on. - Familiarity with bare-metal concepts (PXE/iPXE, DHCP, BMC/IPMI/Redfish, OS imaging) is a plus; deep low-level systems experience is a bonus, not a requirement. - Interest in modern server hardware including GPU servers, AI accelerators, and cloud infrastructure. - A track record of building high-performance automation at fleet scale and reducing toil through developer-friendly APIs.
