  • Contribute to system documentation, runbooks, and tooling that makes our infrastructure reliable and repeatable.

Requirements

  • Understanding of networking fundamentals (IPAM, VLANs, DHCP, DNS).
  • Working knowledge of storage concepts (block vs object, NFS, RAID, etc.).
  • Strong sense of ownership and a willingness to dive into hardware, firmware, or low-level provisioning issues.

Nice to Have
