Staff Software Engineer, MetalDev

Role description

Role Overview

As a Staff Software Engineer within our Compute Architecture organization, you will help build the software systems that operate the backbone of our large-scale GPU data centers. The METALDEV team builds Go-based distributed services that bring new infrastructure online, manage hardware lifecycle workflows, monitor production health, and automate safe operations across fleets of GPU servers and rack-scale systems.

What You Will Do

Design, build, and operate Go-based services that manage the lifecycle of large-scale GPU data center infrastructure. Build automation for data center bring-up, hardware discovery, health monitoring, remediation, and production operations. Develop reliable APIs, services, and workflows for managing BMCs, firmware state, server health, and rack-level infrastructure.

Why It Might Be a Fit

Translate incidents and hardware failure modes into software improvements that make the platform more resilient. Partner with hardware-adjacent, infrastructure, operations, and software teams to design systems that work safely at fleet scale. Provide technical leadership through design reviews, code reviews, architectural guidance, and mentorship.
