As a Senior IT & Infrastructure Engineer, you will be the engineer keeping our Engineering organization running, owning the compute infrastructure, CI/CD systems, monitoring, lab equipment, and internal IT services that engineering depends on every day. You will work hands-on across Linux administration, build pipelines, virtualization, AWS, lab operations, and tier-1 internal support. This is a broad, hands-on role for someone energized by being the person engineers come to when things need to work.JOB RESPONSIBILITIESInfrastructure & OperationsManage compute infrastructure, including on-site lab equipment (Linuxhosts, Jenkins servers, lab gear) and cloud resources.Administer Linux hosts across the engineering environment, including SaltStack-based configuration management and NFS.Create and operate virtualized resources, including Dockercontainers and KVM hosts.Maintain backupand disaster recoverysystems for managedLinux hosts.Support core engineering SaaS tools (1Password, GitHub, GitLab, Cursor,etc.).Provide operational supportfor robotics setup,including integration of robotic testing and test results into engineering workflows.CI/CD & Build SystemsBuild and maintainCI/CD pipelines in GitHub and Jenkins for firmware and host image work, ensuring build consistency, automated linting, testing, and versioned artifact creation.Integrate quality gates into pipelinesusing SonarScanner, Pytest,and other lintingtools to maintain code quality standards.Integrate hardware-in-the-loop (HITL)testing into firmwareand host imagebuild automation pipelines.Monitoring & AlertingOperate and evolveGrafana observability stacksacross infrastructure and testing environments, covering data ingest, visualizations, storage, and alerting.Implement and troubleshoot alerts for system health conditions including power states (battery vs. wall power),UPS auto-shutdowns, full disks, and other infrastructure faults.AWS & Cloud OperationsProvide AWS organization-wide support, including new account creation, periodic security audits, and cost analysis reporting.Internal IT SupportProvide internal helpdesksupport across hardware,software, and accountissues for the engineering organization.Manage internalaccount creation and host configuration workflows.Coordinate with externalIT partners and vendors on compliance, vendormanagement, and IT-adjacent engineering projects.MUST HAVE ATTRIBUTES/SKILLS5+ years of experience in IT operations, systems administration, DevOps, or infrastructure engineering, with hands-onresponsibility across both IT and engineering systems.Strong Linux system administration skills (Bash), includingconfiguration management (SaltStack, Ansible, or similar), NFS, and backup and disaster recovery.Hands-on experience with virtualization, includingDocker and KVM.Working experience operating CI/CD pipelines in GitHub and Jenkins, including build automation, testing integration, and artifact management.Working experience operating Grafana-based monitoring and alerting in production environments.Familiarity with cloud administration at the organization level, including account management, security, and cost reporting (AWS preferred).Comfort providing tier-1 internal IT support to a technical engineering team.Based in the Bay Area, with on-site presence at our Belmont, California office at least 3 days per week.SHOULD HAVE ATTRIBUTES/SKILLSExperience coordinating with external IT vendors and managing compliance-adjacent IT projects (security audits, vendor management).Experience operating a regulated or compliance-sensitive engineering environment.Exposure to early-stage or high-growth startup environments.
