About the role:

The Platform Engineer supports logical turn-up, validation, troubleshooting, automation, and operational readiness for advanced AI infrastructure environments. This role focuses on the software, network, and systems layer that brings dense compute infrastructure online, including Linux administration, network validation, IP addressing, automation workflows, health checks, telemetry, issue triage, and handoff to customer operations teams.

Key Responsibilities:

• Perform logical turn-up activities across Linux systems, network connectivity, management interfaces, automation workflows, and health checks. 

• Validate IP addressing, routing readiness, host reachability, service status, logs, telemetry, and deployment readiness. 

• Troubleshoot cross-stack issues spanning hardware, cabling, networking, Linux, orchestration, and customer platform dependencies. 

• Use structured workflows, ticketing systems, runbooks, and evidence-based diagnostics to isolate and escalate defects. 

• Partner with installation, infrastructure, field service, and customer teams to complete acceptance and transition activities. 

• Contribute to repeatable automation, documentation, quality checks, and knowledge transfer materials. 

• Build working familiarity with platform tooling areas such as switch operating systems, optical circuit switching concepts, IP address management, IPv4/IPv6, BGP, orchestration, automated workflows, deployment services, source-of-truth systems, and issue tracking. 

• Support integration readiness for storage dependencies, ticketing workflows, deployment orchestration, service health validation, and return-to-service acceptance. 

• Troubleshoot hardware-adjacent platform issues using logs, health checks, management interfaces, telemetry, network validation, and structured diagnostic workflows. 

• Confirm whether symptoms indicate software/configuration issues, network reachability problems, cabling defects, environmental dependencies, or field-replaceable hardware failure. 

• Provide evidence-based replacement recommendations and post-replacement validation support to confirm return-to-service readiness. 

What we’re looking for:

• Linux fundamentals and comfort working from the command line. 

• Networking fundamentals, including IP addressing, routing concepts, and connectivity validation. 

• Structured troubleshooting across systems, hardware, network, and automation layers. 

• Cloud operations, DevOps, scripting, automation, or orchestration exposure. 

• Ticketing workflow discipline and clear customer-facing communication skills.
