ROLE OVERVIEW

We’re hiring a hands-on DevOps Engineer with strong on-prem networking expertise. You’ll own infrastructure automation and CI/CD, operate and harden our on-site networks and Linux systems, manage an existing Monte Carlo HPC cluster, and support a small LLM workload in AWS.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

• Design, implement, and secure on-prem networks: VLANs, routing with OSPF and BGP, VPNs with IPsec and SSL, firewall policies, NAT, high availability, QoS, segmentation, and zero trust.
• Automate network and systems management using Ansible, Terraform, and Python for configuration templating, drift detection, inventory, and compliance.
• Operate Linux servers and core services including DNS, DHCP, NTP, PKI, LDAP, and SSO with patching, hardening, and capacity planning.
• Manage and optimize the existing Monte Carlo HPC cluster based on Slurm and Docker, including container networking, storage such as NFS and iSCSI, and high-throughput data paths.
• Own GitLab CI/CD including runners, pipelines, registries, and release automation.
• Build observability and incident response with Prometheus, Grafana, alerting, syslog or SIEM, NetFlow and SNMP; define SLOs and runbooks.
• Integrate on-prem with AWS through site-to-site VPN or Direct Connect and support AI and LLM workloads.
• Collaborate with developers to advance infrastructure as code and reliable release practices.
• Work fully on-site with occasional maintenance windows and light datacenter tasks such as rack and stack, cabling, and labeling.
