Server Architect

The role

You will build a fleet control plane, out-of-band provisioning, and node agents for a distributed GPU fleet. You will also design overlay networking and integrate compute with energy planning systems.

What you will do

• Build the fleet control plane including inventory, identity, activation, telemetry, and operator tooling
• Own out-of-band provisioning and recovery using Redfish/iDRAC automation, network boot, and immutable OS images
• Develop the node agent to establish trust, report state, and receive work
• Design overlay networking and secure connectivity across consumer internet links
• Connect compute to power by integrating dispatch with energy planning systems
• Work with hardware and deployment teams on enclosures, thermals, and outdoor server operation

Required qualifications

• 8+ years building systems software close to hardware
• Deep experience with server platforms such as BMC/iDRAC, Redfish or IPMI, PXE/virtual-media boot, hardware inventory, and remote recovery
• Strong C, C++, Rust, or Go
• Experience operating fleets such as servers, network gear, vehicles, telecom, or energy hardware
• Judgment about what to build versus adopt

Nice to have

• Datacenter or cloud platform background: hypervisors, bare-metal clouds, provisioning at scale
• GPU serving experience: vLLM, inference routing, KV-cache-aware scheduling, or GPU fleet operations
• Compiler, toolchain, or OS-image build depth
• Exposure to power systems or energy markets
