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.

Wondering if you're a good fit?

You love to: Maintain reliable production infrastructure, automate away operational toil, and solve complex system-level problems.

You're curious about: Cutting-edge GPU clusters, liquid cooling systems, and next-generation compute hardware.

You're an expert in: Kubernetes service operations, Linux troubleshooting, Prometheus/Grafana observability, and incident remediation.
