Grow your career in whichever direction you prefer - ops leadership or infrastructure/SRE
What You Bring
5+ years in data center operations, hardware support, or field engineering
Confident working directly with Supermicro or Dell hardware, ideally including GPU chassis
Comfortable operating autonomously - you know how to own problems and close them
Basic networking/debug skills (Infiniband, console, BMC, cabling, etc.)
Bonus points for CMDB experience or interest in Linux/SRE cross-skilling
Why This Role Rocks
You're joining at a moment of scale-up: clusters have doubled, vendor dependencies are being cut, and you'll have real influence
Clear growth path - become an ops lead or transition into SRE
A tech stack that's modern, meaty, and genuinely interesting
A small, sharp team that values autonomy and practical engineering over ceremony
Eligibility & Location
Must be on-site at the company's data center (no hybrid/remote)
Only Green Card holders and Naturalized US Citizens can be considered due to security & operational requirements
If you're the kind of engineer who's happiest with a screwdriver in one hand and a console cable in the other - let's talk. This is one of those roles where your impact is visible, immediate, and seriously valued.
