• High ownership and visibility across engineering and operations

Who You Are

• Hands-on and practical, with a strong “get it running” mindset
• Comfortable working in dynamic, real-world environments
• A natural troubleshooter who enjoys solving complex system issues
• Able to bridge gaps between engineering design and operational reality

Requirements

• 3+ years of experience in IT, system engineering, or deployment-focused roles
• 3+ years of experience inlab networking, embedded solutions and reliability
• Strong understanding of networking fundamentals (routing, switching, VPNs, firewalls, etc.)
• Hands-on experience with Linux-based systems and environments
• Experience installing, configuring, and troubleshooting complex software systems
• Ability to diagnose issues across multiple layers: application, system, and network
• Strong problem-solving skills and a field-oriented, ownership mindset

Nice to Have

• Experience with on-premise and air-gapped environments
• Familiarity with containers and modern deployment technologies
• Background working with distributed or real-time systems
• Experience supporting field operations or customer-facing deployments
