Engineering Manager - Infrastructure Automation (Hardware) Does the idea of turning thousands of blank, powered‑off servers into fully configured, production‑ready machines with a single, deterministic pipeline sound like your kind of challenge? We're looking for an Engineering Manager to lead our Infrastructure Automation team-owning everything from "cold silicon" power‑on to Chef convergence at fleet scale. You'll shape the vision, mentor a team of sharp developers, and build the tooling, APIs, and observability that make site bring‑up as effortless and repeatable as a git push, unlocking rapid deployments at scale. What You'll Do: * Own the technical roadmap for deterministic, end‑to‑end provisioning automation across all existing and new hardware platforms * Build and mentor a high‑performing team of software and infrastructure engineers, fostering a culture of reliability, observability, and rapid iteration * Deliver and operate scalable tooling, APIs, and dashboards that make bulk site bring‑ups self‑service, idempotent, and fully traceable * Collaborate cross‑functionally with Operations (DC & Net), Hardware, and Security to align firmware, OS, and config‑management workflows with fleet‑wide SLAs; also while iterating POP design, and assisting with new hardware selection * Own success metrics (e.g. first‑pass yield & error‑recovery time) and drive continuous improvement through data‑driven retrospectives and roadmap updates What We're Looking For: * 8+ years hands‑on systems or infrastructure engineering (Go, Python, Rust, or similar) building automation for bare‑metal provisioning, OS imaging, and configuration management at fleet scale. * Deep expertise in boot & hardware pipelines-PXE/UEFI HTTP, BMC / Redfish, secure boot, firmware flashing, and tools like Chef or Ansible. * Proven technical leadership of teams or mission‑critical projects (mentoring, driving design reviews, owning roadmaps), even without a formal manager title. * Strong cross‑functional collaboration and communication skills, translating fleet KPIs into clear priorities for key stakeholders. We'll be super impressed if you have experience in any of these: * Hands on experience engineering UEFI / USB boot-shims that stream a Live OS over an out-of-band channel (Redfish virtual media, HTTPBoot, iPXE) to provide zero-touch diagnostics, patching, or full re-image; turning fleet-wide emergency recovery into a single pipeline run. Work Hours: * This position will require you to be available during core business hours in the Eastern Time Zone.
