Backend Software Engineer (Python / DevOps)

Nice to have

•

The Systems Track: Solid foundations in Linux Sysadmin, networking protocols (VLANs, routing), bare-metal provisioning (DHCP, PXE, TFTP), or building custom Linux OS images (e.g., debootstrap/casper/mkosi). Bonus points if you've ever interacted with physical hardware labs or configuration management (like NX-OS).

WHAT IF YOU HAVE LIGHT/NO EXPERIENCE IN THE OTHER MINOR TRACKS OR DON’T KNOW THE SYSTEMS SIDE ?

Apply anyway. We know this is a highly specialized stack sitting at the intersection of bare-metal hardware and cloud software. We do not expect you to be an expert in everything on day one. What we do require is intense technical curiosity.
