Update from the Client:
We need candidates who are strong in Linux, networking, debugging, and systems-thinking foundation. They need someone who can be up to speed in 1-2 weeks. Lets look for senior candidates
- This role is much more Linux/server/datacenter focused than Windows focused, lets make Linux troubleshooting and command-line experience a primary requirement
- Familiarity with server hardware, provisioning, OS deployment, firmware flashing, system recovery, and hardware troubleshooting is ideal
- Basic networking knowledge (TCP/IP, DHCP, DNS, switching/routing fundamentals) - supports rack bring-up and recovery activities. This is important.
- Python and Bash scripting would likely be more relevant than PowerShell for this role, also very important.
- This role supports critical engineering operations and may require overtime, evening/night work, weekend coverage, and changing schedules based on business needs. Candidates should be comfortable working in a fast-paced environment where priorities can shift quickly.
- The day-to-day responsibilities include updating FW on multiple racks simultaneously, launching and monitoring diagnostic workloads, recovering failed systems/trays, troubleshooting hardware and software issues, and supporting engineering teams around the clock when needed.
