The team develops and maintains a wide range of infrastructure solutions including an internal cloud provisioning platform on both VMs and baremetal servers, driver verification environments, automated build and test systems, and more. You will have the opportunity to impact engineering teams by ensuring our NVIDIA/Mellanox networking hardware is provisioned, tested, and validated at scale. Your responsibilities will include using cutting-edge automation technologies and AI based solutions to developing infrastructure capabilities spanning our internal cloud grid, provisioning pipelines, kernel and driver verification environments, and high-performance networking setups. We are looking for a motivated teammate who isn't afraid of learning new technologies, tackle complicated debugs, work closely with internal R&D teams and develop modern tools to make constant improvements to our server fleet and automation infrastructure. What you'll be doing: Join our infrastructure team and develop best-in-class automation solutions for bare-metal server provisioning and network driver verification. Build and maintain Ansible playbooks and roles for full server lifecycle management from OS installation and kernel configuration to OFED driver setup and production readiness. Develop Python solutions for hardware introspection, REST API integration, inventory management, and resource allocation across the server fleet. Develop virtualization and system capabilities KVM, QEMU, libvirt, Vagrant, Docker, and Kubernetes across a variety of operating systems and hardware architectures (x86 64, aarch64, ppc64le).

Familiarity with NVIDIA/Mellanox hardware ConnectX NIC series, BlueField DPUs, MFT (Mellanox Firmware Tools), and RSHIM driver configuration. Hands-on experience with hardware management APIs such as Redfish (Dell iDRAC / HP iLO) and IPMI for automated BIOS and BMC configuration. Experience with performance tuning hugepages, DPDK, NUMA, CPU pinning for virtualization and high-performance networking workloads .
Here's how to pick the right one and stand out in your application.
144.883Jobs

That number is real. WorkMundi's database shows 144,883 open engineer roles across the world. India has the most with 31,687 jobs, followed by the United States with 30,084. If you just finished reading one job ad and felt paralyzed by choice, you're not alone—but this scale is actually an advantage. It means you can afford to be selective.
Start by geography and language. The majority of engineer ads—117,837 of them—have the job posting text written in English. Use that as one filter, but remember: the ad text language tells you nothing about whether the role actually requires you to speak English day-to-day. Read the job description carefully. Then check which countries have the volume you're targeting. Singapore, Poland, and Australia round out the top five after India and the US.
Next, learn who's hiring. Accenture has posted 2,801 engineer roles. andurilindustries, speechify, and jobgether are also actively recruiting. If you're applying to one of these names, research their hiring patterns and interview style before you apply. That homework pays off.
When you interview, expect the question every engineer hears: 'Tell me about a time you had to debug a problem that wasn't in your job description.' Have a specific story ready—not a general one. Name the tools, the deadline pressure, and what you learned. Hiring managers listen for whether you see problem-solving as part of the role itself, not a favour.
