What you will do

• Design and automate provisioning, lifecycle management, and deployment for bare-metal HPC, hybrid cloud, and cloud-burst infrastructure.
• Build Infrastructure-as-Code and automation workflows using Terraform, Salt, Python, Git-based processes, APIs, scripts, and controllers.
• Deploy and operate Linux/Ubuntu compute nodes, Kubernetes clusters, networking, storage, monitoring, logging, and authentication services.
• Implement GitOps, CI/CD, hardware validation, health checks, diagnostics, observability, rollback, and configuration-drift monitoring.
• Define infrastructure architecture and technical direction, lead complex initiatives through production deployment, and establish reliability and security standards.
