The Opportunity
As a Senior IT Infrastructure Engineer, you will build and operate the core infrastructure that powers our AI and robotics development.
You will be responsible for setting up infrastructure from the ground up, including compute, storage, and networking, while ensuring reliability, security, and scalability for high-performance workloads such as machine learning and robotics systems.
Your Responsibilities
* Infrastructure Architecture & Operations: Design, implement, and maintain on-premise IT infrastructure (compute, storage, networking). Perform capacity planning and develop and execute backup and disaster recovery strategies. Maintain comprehensive infrastructure documentation.
* Physical Data Center & Cloud Infrastructure: Manage and monitor on-premise IT facilities (servers, cooling, power) and hardware. Design and provision storage and compute/GPU infrastructure for high-performance workloads (ML/AI).
* Enterprise Networking: Design and implement WAN/LAN/WiFi network topology with proper segmentation and security controls (firewalls, IDS/IPS). Configure and manage enterprise networking equipment (switches, routers, load balancers).
* System Administration & Support: Deploy and manage Linux server infrastructure. Configure and deploy employee workstations (Linux, macOS, Windows) and manage IT equipment procurement. Provide technical troubleshooting and support. Manage user accounts with SSO.
* Vendor Management: Establish and manage relationships with technology vendors, negotiate contracts, and coordinate with service providers (ISPs, colocation).
