Infrastructure Engineer

The Team

The Core Infrastructure – Platforms team is responsible for the foundational platform that powers all Favia on-premises and cloud infrastructure.

We design and operate the systems that enable all engineering at Favia; bringing together compute, storage, orchestration, and more into a unified, reliable platform. You’ll join a senior group of engineers working closely with SRE, Networking, and Security to deliver a stable, scalable, and secure foundation for all workloads.

We’re looking for someone to help evolve and scale our OpenStack platform as a core part of our next-generation infrastructure.

The opportunity

• Gain hands-on experience across OpenStack platform operations: compute (Nova), networking (Neutron), and provisioning (Ironic)

• Learn storage systems fundamentals, including Ceph architecture, operations, and troubleshooting

• Handle feature requests and support tickets for both OpenStack and Storage systems, learning core concepts along the way

• Work with senior engineers to troubleshoot complex issues across the full stack, reducing operational burden from the team

• Understand how storage integrates with our infrastructure (whether through OpenStack Cinder or Kubernetes CSI)

• Build automation and tooling to improve team efficiency and reduce toil across both platforms

• Contribute to documentation and runbooks for operations and troubleshooting

• Participate in on-call rotation to maintain platform reliability

What you bring

• Proven experience of 3+ year of working as an Infrastructure/Platform/DevOps Engineer, Software Engineer or similar roles

• Strong passion for providing technical guidance to stakeholders, with excellent communication skills and a customer-focused approach to resolving compute / storage related requests, removing blockers, and enabling engineering teams to succeed

• Hands-on experience building and maintaining at least one of Openstack private cloud or Ceph networked storage platforms

• Strong understanding of distributed systems fundamentals

• Strong Linux systems knowledge: comfortable at the shell, understanding processes, networking basics, file systems, permissions

• Networking fundamentals: TCP/IP, DNS, ports, IP addressing, basic routing, TLS, PKI concepts

• Ability to leverage AI tools and agents such as Claude and OpenAI to efficiently deliver business value

• Scripting or programming experience (Python, Bash, Go, or similar)

Nice to haves

• Working experience running Kubernetes clusters

• Exposure to cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, Azure) or on-premises infrastructure

• Knowledge of Terraform or other Infrastructure as Code tools

• Experience with storage systems (e.g., Ceph/Rook)
