IT Infrastructure Engineer

About Us

Anthriq is a signal processing infrastructure company. We build the full acquisition and compute stack for human-aware technology — from custom analog front-end IP that captures biosignals at the source, to signal-first compute systems.

Anthriq Silicon is our ground-up effort to build a new compute category.

About the Role

Anthriq’s semiconductor design company operates an on-premise infrastructure that includes a Nutanix hyperconverged compute and VDI cluster, an EDA compute farm, NetApp storage, Fortinet networking, and a dedicated server room, alongside a Cadence Palladium emulation environment. We are seeking an IT Infrastructure Engineer to own the day-to-day operation, reliability, and maintenance of this infrastructure. The role covers servers, virtualization, networking, storage, backup, and server-room operations, and works closely with the Engineering team to support the underlying host and network requirements.

Responsibilities

• Own the company's complete IT infrastructure end-to-end.


• Administer and maintain Linux (RHEL / Rocky 9.x) and Windows servers across the environment.


• Operate and maintain the Nutanix HCI cluster (compute, VDI, and EDA compute-farm nodes) — provisioning, patching, monitoring, and capacity management.


• Support the Palladium host servers (OS, drivers, networking, and connectivity) in coordination with the emulation engineer.


• Manage the Fortinet switches and firewall — VLANs, routing, firewall policies, and uplink/port configuration.


• Administer NetApp / NFS storage — shares, capacity, and performance.


• Own backup and disaster-recovery operations, including scheduling, testing, and restores.


• Handle server-room operations — racks, PDUs, UPS, cabling, and environmental monitoring — and track power and cooling headroom as the room scales.


• Automate routine administration tasks using Bash and/or Python.


• Maintain Active Directory, DNS, DHCP, and general office IT services.


• Coordinate with hardware and software vendors and support partners for incidents, warranties, and renewals.


• Maintain documentation, monitoring, and basic security hygiene (patching, access control).


• Opportunity to build the Infra team as we grow.

Requirements

Experience

• 5+ years of experience in IT infrastructure or systems and network administration. Ownership of infrastructure is preferred.


• Strong Linux administration (RHEL / Rocky) and working knowledge of Windows Server and Active Directory.


• Solid networking fundamentals — VLANs, TCP/IP, and firewall/switch administration (Fortinet experience preferred).


• Hands-on experience with virtualization / HCI (Nutanix AHV or VMware).


• Storage administration experience (NFS / NetApp or equivalent).


• Experience implementing and testing backup and disaster-recovery solutions.


• Scripting and automation skills in Bash and/or Python.


• Understanding of server-room and data center operations — racks, UPS, PDU, power, and cooling.


• Ability to work independently across a broad range of technologies with strong ownership

Good to have

• Exposure to EDA compute farms or job schedulers (LSF, Slurm), InfiniBand, and Cadence Palladium host maintenance


• Configuration management (Ansible); monitoring tools (Zabbix/Grafana/Prometheus); relevant certifications (RHCSA/RHCE, Fortinet NSE, Nutanix NCP).
