About The Team Infrastructure Reliability Engineering (IRE) is a small but growing team responsible for the infrastructure and operations behind the core developer tools and on-prem compute platforms used across the entire engineering organization. We own the services every engineer depends on daily — source control, CI/CD, and artifact management — as well as the on-prem infrastructure behind simulation and GPU workloads. As the company's on-prem footprint grows, this team is expanding its scope to provide SRE capabilities for on-prem systems, so there's an opportunity to help shape that practice from the ground up.

About The Job You'll own the full lifecycle — patching, upgrades, backups, scaling, and incident response — for services that engineering depends on daily. The role blends DevOps, SRE, and software engineering, and is ideal for engineers who want high ownership and company-wide impact. You should have a mindset of continuous improvement: if something is manual and repetitive, your instinct should be to automate it away.

What You'll Do Serve as a primary owner for critical services, including on-call and knowledge-sharing across the team

Own the lifecycle of core self-hosted developer tools (e.g., RunAI, GitHub Enterprise Server, CircleCI, JFrog Artifactory/Xray)

Design and implement automated systems for patching, backups (with validation), and upgrades

Scale infrastructure to support a fast-growing engineering org

Use Infrastructure-as-Code (Terraform) to manage environments

Operate and troubleshoot systems using Docker, Kubernetes, and cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, Azure)

Define and maintain SLOs for service availability, reliability, and performance

Build and maintain monitoring, alerting, and observability for developer tool services

Lead and participate in incident response and root cause analysis

Work cross-functionally with platform, security, infrastructure (on-prem and cloud), and software teams

Required Qualifications Experience operating infrastructure outside of managed cloud services — bare-metal kubernetes and on-prem virtualization (VMware ESXi/vSphere)

Experience operating production systems using Docker and Kubernetes

Strong foundational knowledge of Linux (RHEL, Ubuntu)

Proficiency with at least one cloud platform (AWS, GCP, or Azure)

Experience managing infrastructure with Infrastructure-as-Code tools (e.g., Terraform/OpenTofu)

Experience with configuration management tooling (e.g., Ansible, Puppet, Chef)

Strong problem-solving skills with a focus on automation

Scripting or software development experience (e.g., Python, Go, Bash)

Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines and developer tooling

Ability to own systems end-to-end, from design to incident resolution

Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Secret security clearance

Preferred Qualifications Experience with RKE2 (or other bare-metal Kubernetes distro such as k3s, kubeadm, or OpenShift) and Cilium

Prior experience with GitHub Enterprise Server, JFrog Artifactory/Xray, or CircleCI

Experience with GitOps workflows and tooling (e.g., ArgoCD/FluxCD)

Experience maintaining highly available, scalable internal tools

Exposure to security best practices, compliance requirements, or auditing

Experience supporting large, rapidly scaling engineering organizations

Experience with monitoring and observability platforms (e.g., Datadog, Prometheus, Grafana)

Background in SRE or hybrid SWE/DevOps roles

Experience with on-prem infrastructure operations, reliability, or capacity planning

Experience operating GPU or HPC infrastructure and workload schedulers (eg., RunAI, Slurm, Kubeflow, Volcano)
