- You will collaborate closely with lead engineers and architects across multiple sites, participate in design discussions and reviews, and take on design-ownership roles, while focusing primarily on implementing defined designs, investigating complex issues, and ensuring reliable, secure software behaviour in production environments.
- In this role, you will work on software responsible for provisioning, monitoring, orchestration, and lifecycle management of rack‑scale AI systems.
- You will be expected to take strong ownership of the code you deliver — from implementation and validation through deployment and debugging in real‑world data center conditions.

- Ensure secure boot, VLAN separation, and QoS enforcement for multi-tenant environments.
- Contribute to software EBOM and protocol documentation with Pegatron and other partners.
- Write high‑quality, secure, and maintainable code following established coding standards and best practices.
- Participate in design discussions and reviews, providing implementation‑focused feedback on feasibility, performance, reliability, and maintainability.
- Own debugging and root‑cause analysis of complex issues across development, integration, and production environments, including deployed systems.
- Collaborate closely with architects, lead engineers, hardware, firmware, and platform teams to ensure correct system behavior and smooth integration.
- Implement observability features such as logging, metrics, and tracing to support troubleshooting and operational reliability.
- Contribute towards documentation, runbooks, and operational procedures related to the software you own or support.
- Participate in code reviews, testing efforts, and continuous improvement of build, test, and deployment pipelines.
