Responsibilities

  • Debug and triage issues across Linux-based sensor nodes and edge appliances deployed at customer sites.
  • Use SSH to diagnose, patch, and recover field hardware with limited remote access and incomplete information.
  • Own site bring-ups end to end and restore systems to operation.
  • Build and maintain fleet-management systems for OTA updates, device health tracking, remote diagnostics, and lifecycle management.
  • Eliminate recurring incidents through tooling, pre-deployment checks, root-cause processes, and automation.
  • Collaborate with embedded systems and platform teams on reliability and deployment requirements.
  • Design and implement logging, metrics, alerting, and telemetry across edge devices and AWS cloud infrastructure.
  • Develop runbooks and incident-response procedures and participate in on-call rotations.

Requirements

  • Strong Linux systems administration experience and comfort working over SSH in production environments.
  • Experience working with edge or on-premises hardware alongside cloud infrastructure.
  • Solid networking fundamentals, including DNS, firewalls, VPNs, subnets, and secure remote access.
  • Scripting or programming experience with Python, Go, or Bash for operational tooling.
  • Familiarity with containerization; Docker experience is relevant and Kubernetes is a plus.

  • AWS infrastructure, IAM, networking, and observability tooling experience is a strong plus.
