We're hiring a Senior Software Engineer to build our Fleet Manager platform — the workflow automation system that provisions, tests, and remediates GPU nodes and network switches at scale.

You'll build foundational Python-based automation systems that manage the entire lifecycle of our compute infrastructure: device enrolment, burn-in testing, network configuration, GPU health monitoring, and self-healing capabilities. This role is for someone obsessed with distributed systems at scale, infrastructure reliability, scalability, security, and continuous improvement.


What you'll do

  • Build workflow automation systems for GPU node and network switch lifecycle management at scale
  • Design foundational platform components with established software patterns that others build on
  • Implement device provisioning, burn-in testing, network configuration, and hardware health validation workflows
  • Integrate with datacenter infrastructure management systems, cloud orchestration platforms, and bare metal provisioning tools
  • Build distributed workflow orchestration systems to coordinate complex automation tasks across the fleet
  • Drive technical strategy for reliability, observability, incident response, and operational excellence
  • Partner with Infrastructure, Platform, and SRE teams to automate hardware lifecycle operations
  • Use AI tools to accelerate delivery while maintaining architectural coherence

About you

  • You have 5+ years software engineering experience building and operating production systems, with focus on infrastructure automation or workflow tooling
  • Strong proficiency in Python (Fleet Manager is built entirely in Python)
  • You are driven by building distributed systems at scale, infrastructure reliability, scalability, security, and continuous improvement
  • Technical expertise: quickly understanding systems design tradeoffs, keeping track of rapidly evolving software systems
  • You use AI tools like Claude or Cursor as a core part of your development workflow as a fundamental multiplier of what you can build
  • You have delivered automation systems from ambiguous requirements to operational systems in production, with hands-on day 2 operations experience (monitoring, incident response, performance optimisation)
  • Strong problem-solving skills and ability to work independently in a fast-paced, high-agency environment
  • Excellent communication skills to build consensus with stakeholders, both internally and externally

Nice to have

  • Experience with workflow orchestration tools like Temporal, Airflow, Prefect, or similar
  • Hands-on experience with infrastructure tooling: DCIMs, NetBox, OpenStack, or ERP systems
  • Bare metal provisioning and automation: MAAS, Ironic, IPMI, PXE boot, or network automation
  • Experience building hardware lifecycle automation: provisioning, validation, testing, or remediation workflows
  • GPU infrastructure experience: health monitoring, burn-in testing, or cluster management
  • HPC and networking: datacenter topology, high-performance interconnects (InfiniBand, RoCE)
  • Deep knowledge of Kubernetes, Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, Pulumi), AWS, and GCP
  • Open-source contributions in infrastructure automation or cloud-native tooling
