The Senior Compute Engineer will own the design, provisioning, and lifecycle of the compute infrastructure that powers Torus Systems. You will take GPU and CPU servers from rack to production-ready, building repeatable, secure, automated processes for bare-metal bring-up, out-of-band management, and fleet operations at scale.
$150,000 - $190,000 (Note: We have the flexibility to hire at different levels, which may impact the corresponding pay range.)
- Configure and standardize BMCs (Supermicro IPMI and Redfish, or equivalent such as iDRAC or iLO)
- Define hardware-side provisioning standards (BIOS/UEFI settings, boot order, option ROM settings, storage and RAID configuration)
- Secure the out-of-band management plane
- Own firmware lifecycle management for BIOS, BMC, CPLD, NICs, storage controllers, and GPUs
- Own GPU node bring-up and validation: drivers and CUDA stack, GPU and NVLink health, DCGM or equivalent diagnostics, and burn-in
- Bachelor's degree in computer science, engineering, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience
- Nice to have: InfiniBand fabric management (UFM)
- Nice to have: Liquid-cooled systems (CDU, direct-to-chip)
- Nice to have: Infrastructure-as-code
- Nice to have: Endpoint security and device management tools (EDR, MDM)
