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).
