Role Summary
Harbinger is hiring a Systems Engineer to own the reliability, scalability, and performance of our end-to-end infrastructure, from the factory floor to the datacenter. We're looking for someone with a builder mentality who thrives working on-site in partnership with Business systems, Facilities, and Production teams.

Build, manage, and support end-to-end infrastructure across the factory floor. From core datacenter systems to edge devices like production compute, MES stations, and networked IoT equipment (connected tools, PDCs, HMIs, and similar)
Champion an Infrastructure as Code culture, using tools like Ansible, Terraform, Chef, or Puppet to eliminate manual toil and automate provisioning, configuration, and deployments
Implement and manage GitOps workflows for infrastructure delivery, applying SRE principles to ensure 24/7 availability and robust system performance
Design and maintain monitoring, alerting, and logging systems for proactive issue identification and rapid incident response
Participate in on-call rotations to support business continuity and system stability
Work on-site to manage physical datacenter and factory-floor edge hardware, collaborating closely with local engineering and manufacturing teams

- Proven proficiency with IaC and automation tools (e.g., Ansible, Terraform, Chef, Puppet)
- Experience implementing GitOps workflows and SRE best practices
- Able to troubleshoot complex cross-platform issues, from physical layer faults to application-level performance bottlenecks
- Soft Skills
- Excellent interpersonal skills, with the ability to work effectively in an on-site, cross-functional environment
- Builder mentality with a bias toward hands-on ownership and eliminating manual toil
- Available for on-call rotations and on-site support as required
- Comprehensive Health, Dental & Vision (HDV) – 100% employee covered
