Required

A smart, curious engineer who learns fast and is genuinely excited by the challenge of automating physical infrastructure end to end. This matters more to us than any specific line on your resume.
Strong Python for building automation, tooling, and services, not just scripts.
Hands-on Ansible experience: writing playbooks and roles you would be happy to code-review, not just run.
A solid grasp of CI/CD principles: pipelines, testing, staged rollouts, and the discipline of driving change through version control.
An automation-first, GitOps mindset: you believe infrastructure state belongs in Git, and that any task done by hand twice should be code.
Working knowledge of Linux: comfortable with the boot process, system services, and debugging when a machine does not come up the way it should. Depth here is a real plus, but interest and trajectory count.
Sound engineering judgment: you design workflows that fail safely, retry sensibly, and leave an audit trail.
Clear communication and the patience to turn tribal operational knowledge into reliable, documented automation.

Preferred

Experience with bare-metal provisioning tooling such as MAAS, Tinkerbell, Foreman, Ironic, or a home-grown equivalent.
Familiarity with out-of-band management: BMCs, Redfish, IPMI, and vendor variants like iDRAC or iLO.
Exposure to hardware validation and burn-in: stress testing, firmware qualification, or failure prediction at fleet scale.
Experience with GitOps tooling or declarative infrastructure management in general.
Prior work in datacenter, HPC, or large-fleet environments where machines number in the hundreds or thousands.
Anticipated annual base salary range $150,000-$250,000, plus eligible for discretionary bonus.
Tower’s headquarters are in the historic Equitable Building, right in the heart of NYC’s Financial District and our impact is global, with over a dozen offices around the world.
At Tower, we believe work should be both challenging and enjoyable. That is why we foster a culture where smart, driven people thrive – without the egos. Our open concept workplace, casual dress code, and well-stocked kitchens reflect the value we place on a friendly, collaborative environment where everyone is respected, and great ideas win.
