Job Details
- Required Skills
- KubernetesGo
Requirements
- Go Fluency: You write production Go for a living. You can design clean services, APIs, and libraries.
- Bare Metal Operations Depth: You have shipped systems that drive servers via Redfish and IPMI in production, and you understand PXE boot end-to-end.
- Bare-Metal-as-a-Service Background: You have built or operated bare-metal-as-a-service offerings, an AI Cloud, or a hyperscaler bare metal team.
- Bridging Generations: You hold both server management and modern API design in your head and can design between them. You are comfortable in IPMI, iDRAC, and ILO consoles, and equally comfortable shipping a Go controller.
- Technical Leadership: You have led engineers technically, through architecture decisions, code review, and hands-on mentorship.
- Operator’s Instinct: You think about failure modes, telemetry, and recoverability before you ship. You have been on-call for the systems you have built.
Responsibilities
- Own the technical direction of vMetal, leading architecture decisions, driving the roadmap for bare metal provisioning and lifecycle management, and setting the standard for code review and design quality on the team.
- Build the Go services that turn raw hardware into APIs our customers can consume, designing and shipping systems that drive Redfish, IPMI, and PXE workflows in production.
- Own how servers get discovered, inventoried, provisioned, configured, and reclaimed, eliminating manual intervention and designing for hardware that fails in surprising ways.
- Translate between traditional out-of-band server management and modern Kubernetes-native patterns, deciding where abstractions live and how vMetal exposes hardware to tenant clusters cleanly.
- Help grow the vMetal team by setting the technical bar in interviews, partnering on the loop, and mentoring engineers on bare metal-specific concepts.
- Partner with customer engineering and the broader platform team to debug, harden, and ship against real production workloads, being on-call for the systems built and treating reliability as a first-class deliverable.
