Why your role matters
As a Senior Systems Engineer, you’ll take ownership of the stability, automation, and performance of our internal systems infrastructure. You’ll work across CI/CD pipelines, container tooling, system tuning, and infrastructure-as-code to support real-time workloads on a global scale. The infrastructure you'll be automating is running in i3D.net's own data centers, so you will have the opportunity to work with the whole vertical stack of hardware, hypervisors, Linux management, Kubernetes clusters and other private cloud offerings.
The role spans the full lifecycle, from deploying and automating services to maintaining and improving the reliability of systems running in our bare-metal and hybrid environments.
Key Responsibilities
- Design and Build Platform Features: You’ll co-architect new platform features, making sure they’re scalable, reliable, and work smoothly across middleware components like ProxMox and Kubernetes.
- Automate and Optimize Infrastructure: You’ll automate the setup and management of infrastructure using tools like Terraform and Ansible, improving the performance and efficiency of systems like databases, web servers, and message queues.
- CI/CD Pipeline Development: You’ll create and maintain CI/CD pipelines that help keep our development process smooth and efficient, enabling continuous integration and delivery across different environments.
- Monitor and Log Systems Health: You’ll implement and manage monitoring and logging solutions to make sure everything is running smoothly, using tools like Nagios, Prometheus, Grafana, and others.
- Collaborate on Systems Engineering Strategy: You’ll work closely with other teams to make sure the systems engineering strategies align with business goals and the overall product roadmap.
- Ensure Security and Compliance: You’ll put security best practices into action and ensure that we meet all relevant standards and regulations to keep our platform safe and sound.
- Promote SRE and GitOps Practices: You’ll advocate for Reliability and GitOps practices, helping create a culture of continuous improvement and operational excellence across the team.
- Mentorship and Knowledge Sharing: You’ll mentor junior engineers and share your knowledge with the team, encouraging best practices and a focus on learning and growth.
