The Site Infrastructure Engineer will build and maintain server and network infrastructure for autonomous vehicle operations, ensuring high performance and reliability.
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 roleYou 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
- 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
- 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
