About the role

Senior Linux Systems Engineer for Infrastructure Engineering, focused on designing, deploying, and maintaining enterprise-grade Linux environments for high-throughput EDA compute farms, with emphasis on automation, tooling, and scalable infrastructure.

Responsibilities

  • Linux Infrastructure Engineering: Maintain, tune, and secure mission-critical Linux operating systems across production and non-production environments.
  • End-to-End Automation: Lead infrastructure configuration management and continuous deployment workflows using Infrastructure as Code, e.g. Ansible and Terraform.
  • Tooling Development: Write high-quality, maintainable code in Python, Bash, or Go to automate repetitive operational tasks and integrate infrastructure telemetry.
  • Naming & Storage Services: Manage Linux Naming Services (LDAP/SSSD) and networked storage (NFS, Autofs) environments to support high-performance EDA workloads.

Qualifications

  • Linux Internals: 8+ years of deep systems engineering experience working with RPM-based Linux distributions. Bachelor's degree or equivalent work experience.
  • Infrastructure as Code: Strong track record of automating end-to-end multi-tier infrastructure configurations and managing centralized deployments. Experience with more than one configuration management system is a bonus.
  • Virtualization and Container Architecture: Deep understanding of virtualization and container internals (e.g., Docker, Podman, Kubernetes, MicroVMs), including trade-offs between technologies. Ability to design and build scalable container infrastructure from scratch, including registry management, custom image development, and layer optimization.
  • Scripting & Tooling: Proficiency in at least one modern language (Python, Bash, or Go) for infrastructure automation, tooling development, and API integrations.
  • Networking Fundamentals: Deep operational understanding of OSI layers, TCP socket states, MTU optimization, packet captures (tcpdump, wireshark), and modern physical or software-defined networking (SDN).
