About the team

The Site Infrastructure team owns server and network infrastructure across Avride's physical locations — AV garages and offices. We ensure R&D and fleet operations have the reliable compute and connectivity they need as the autonomous vehicle fleet scales.

About the role

You will own two domains: server hardware and on-site networking. This is a hands-on, on-site role that puts you at the center of building and scaling the physical infrastructure behind Avride's self-driving technology.

What you'll do

  • Assemble, image, rack, and cable custom-built servers — often non-standard configurations with the latest CPUs and GPUs
  • Deploy and maintain switches, routers, and structured cabling across garage and office sites
  • Troubleshoot and resolve hardware, network, and ISP connectivity issues end to end
  • Select server configurations based on workload requirements and hardware trade-offs
  • Maintain high-throughput network performance and uptime across all locations
  • Manage physical site infrastructure: rack layouts, cabling runs, power, cooling, and equipment lifecycle
  • Create and maintain internal documentation: runbooks, infrastructure diagrams, and configuration notes
  • Partner with engineering and operations teams to support testing, development, and production needs

What you'll need

  • Proficiency with enterprise network equipment at an administrator or engineer level (MikroTik, Cisco, Juniper, Ubiquiti, FS, or similar)
  • Strong grasp of routing, switching, VLANs, and high-throughput network architecture
  • Solid Linux administration skills (system-level configuration, diagnostics, networking stack)
  • Experience assembling, troubleshooting, and selecting optimal server hardware configurations
  • Comfort with physical work: racking, stacking, cabling, and maintaining server room environments

Nice to have

  • Experience with server room or small-DC design (power planning, cooling, layout)
  • Familiarity with NixOS or declarative system management
  • Scripting skills (Python, Bash)
  • Experience with Infrastructure as Code tools (Terraform, Ansible)
  • Track record of scaling infrastructure in a fast-growing environment
