- Automate/troubleshoot a broad range of technical infrastructure, hardware and software
- Performance testing and tuning of the entire stack
- Scripting and writing services to automate repetitive tasks
- Working across teams and with vendors to resolve issues
- Managing changes to core OS / platform components in a large distributed environment
Qualifications
- 5+ years of relevant experience
- Expertise in installation, configuration, and troubleshooting of Linux systems
- Experience and knowledge of Debian/Ubuntu specifically is a plus
- Experience with configuration management tools (Salt, chef etc)
- Python and Shell scripting experience.
- Basic C++ experience is a plus
- GPU experience is a plus (CUDA setup, basic debugging)
- Attention to detail needed to manage and debug production services
- Exceptional communication skills - this role will require cross-collaboration with various stakeholders across HRT
- Proactive problem-solver who acts with urgency, drives continuous process improvements, and actively pursues ongoing learning
- Proven ability to prioritize and context-switch across multiple simultaneous projects without sacrificing quality
The estimated base salary range for this position is 150,000 to 300,000 USD per year (or local equivalent). The base pay offered may vary depending on multiple individualized factors, including location, job-related knowledge, skills, and experience. This role will also be eligible for discretionary performance-based bonuses and a competitive benefits package.
