Site Infrastructure Engineer (Networking & Compute)
Hands-on onsite engineer owning server hardware assembly/racking and on-site networking deployment/maintenance for AV garages and offices. Requires Linux admin, enterprise networking (MikroTik/Cisco/Juniper), and physical infrastructure skills.
About the job
What you will do
- Assemble, image, rack, and cable custom-built servers — often non-standard configurations with the latest CPUs and GPUs
- Deploy and maintain switches, routers, and structured cabling across garage and office sites
- Troubleshoot and resolve hardware, network, and ISP connectivity issues end to end
- Select server configurations based on workload requirements and hardware trade-offs
- Maintain high-throughput network performance and uptime across all locations
- Manage physical site infrastructure: rack layouts, cabling runs, power, cooling, and equipment lifecycle
- Create and maintain internal documentation: runbooks, infrastructure diagrams, and configuration notes
- Partner with engineering and operations teams to support testing, development, and production needs
What you will need
- Proficiency with enterprise network equipment at an administrator or engineer level (MikroTik, Cisco, Juniper, Ubiquiti, FS, or similar)
- Strong grasp of routing, switching, VLANs, and high-throughput network architecture
- Solid Linux administration skills (system-level configuration, diagnostics, networking stack)
- Experience assembling, troubleshooting, and selecting optimal server hardware configurations
- Comfort with physical work: racking, stacking, cabling, and maintaining server room environments
Nice to have
- Experience with server room or small-DC design (power planning, cooling, layout)
- Familiarity with NixOS or declarative system management
- Scripting skills (Python, Bash)
- Experience with Infrastructure as Code tools (Terraform, Ansible)
- Track record of scaling infrastructure in a fast-growing environment
