Job Description

Position: Linux systems engineer
Location: Remote
Duration: 12+ months

Top skills:
  • Linux: 10+ years of deep systems engineering experience working with RPM-based Linux distributions.
  • Infrastructure as Code: Experience 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. Demonstrated 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).

Description:
We are seeking a Linux Systems Engineer to join our Infrastructure Engineering team, dedicated to supporting high-performance EDA compute farms. You will be responsible for designing, deploying, and maintaining enterprise-grade Linux environments across RPM-based distributions, optimized for the high-throughput requirements of EDA workloads. You will drive automation initiatives, and build robust tooling to support a highly available and scalable infrastructure.
  • 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.

Additional Skills & Qualifications:
  • Experience with CI/CD integration pipelines (GitLab CI, GitHub Actions, or Jenkins) for infrastructure artifacts.
  • Relevant industry certifications (e.g., RHCE, CKA).
  • Proven experience managing Google Cloud Platform and AWS compute services
  • Experience with using LLMs to build and manage infrastructure
  • Prior experience supporting EDA toolchains (e.g., Synopsys, Cadence) and high-performance compute clusters (e.g. exposure to LSF and Slurm environments a bonus)
