Pragmatike is recruiting on behalf of a European deep-tech company developing a decentralized, energy-efficient alternative to traditional cloud providers. Their platform operates on distributed bare-metal infrastructure with advanced automation, delivering sovereign, high-performance compute for modern workloads.

Professional Background:

Were looking for an SRE / Network Engineer engineer with deep expertise in Metal-as-a-Service (MAAS) and bare-metal automation. You should have a strong Linux background and direct experience managing large-scale on-prem and cloud-adjacent infrastructures hundreds of nodes across multiple sites.

Startup or hyper-growth experience is a strong plus. Autonomy, speed, and problem-solving are essential.

Your Responsabilities:

• Maintain and support core infrastructure systems with deep knowledge of Linux (Debian/Ubuntu preferred).

• Work close to the metal: BIOS, IPMI, RAID setups, and hardware-level diagnostics are part of your comfort zone.

• Design and maintain scalable networks using VLANs, L2/L3 routing, VPNs, and especially UniFi equipment.

• Automate infrastructure provisioning and operations with Ansible, Bash/Python, and Git-based workflows.

• Set up and manage observability stacks, including Prometheus/Grafana for metrics and Graylog, ELK, or Loki for log centralization.

• Build tooling for server discovery, config auto-generation, automated OS deployments, PXE/Preseed/Cloud-init, and strong MAAS-based provisioning.

• Integrate and/or develop internal APIs for tracking compute and GPU resource allocation, as well as external APIs (billing, monitoring, OpenStack, etc.).

• Deploy and maintain virtualization and orchestration systems such as OpenStack (preferably with Kolla-Ansible), Proxmox VE, or VMware ESXi.

• Support container-based workloads and isolate services efficiently.

What You Bring:

• Expert-level Linux administration (preferably Debian/Ubuntu).

• Strong MAAS / Ironic / bare-metal automation experience (mandatory).

• Excellent networking fundamentals: VLANs, routing, VPNs.

• Infrastructure as Code (Ansible), scripting (Bash/Python), GitOps.

• Experience with monitoring and logging tools like Prometheus, Grafana, ELK/Graylog.

• Comfort with custom deployment automation (PXE, Preseed, MAAS/Ironic).

• Familiarity with resource tracking, API integrations, and dashboard development.

• Proven experience with OpenStack, Proxmox, VMware, and container orchestration.

Nice To Have

• Familiarity with firewall rules, access control, and security policies.

• Experience with Cloudflare API for DNS management and tunnel setups.

• IT asset management or software license tracking exposure is a plus.
