About the role
As a Senior Operations Engineer on the MetalDev Operations team, you will focus on service reliability, observability, and operational excellence across the Redfish-based services and automation tools powering our hardware cloud. Splitting your time between day-to-day operations (~80%) and continuous reliability engineering (~20%), you will troubleshoot production issues across BMCs, servers, DPUs, power shelves, Cooling Distribution Units (CDUs), and NVLink switches supporting GB200/GB300 Vera Rubin NVL72 systems. You will perform root-cause analysis, manage vendor-provided hardware/firmware change requests, own Prometheus/Grafana observability dashboards, and participate in an on-call rotation to minimize operational toil and ensure high fleet availability.
Who You Are
- 5+ years of experience in cloud operations, site reliability engineering (SRE), or infrastructure operations.
- Hands-on experience deploying, supporting, and troubleshooting containerized applications within Kubernetes environments.
- Strong Linux system administration and internals knowledge, with proficiency in shell scripting or modern automation languages.
- Proven experience in incident management, structured troubleshooting, root-cause analysis, and participating in production on-call rotations.
- Technical proficiency with observability, monitoring, and alerting frameworks using Prometheus, PromQL, and Grafana.
- Demonstrated ability to author high-quality runbooks, troubleshooting guides, and post-incident documentation.
Preferred:
- Direct experience with server hardware management, BMCs, Redfish APIs, IPMI, or hardware provisioning and lifecycle workflows.
- Familiarity with high-performance GPU infrastructure, DPUs, liquid cooling (CDUs), power distribution systems, or large-scale AI cluster architectures.
- Experience collaborating with hardware/firmware vendors to submit change requests, collect diagnostic data, and validate production fixes.
- Working knowledge of Python or Go.
- Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical discipline.
