We are seeking an MTS III — Software Developer (IaaS) to help build the foundational software that powers our next-generation infrastructure platform. You will design and develop services that span hardware provisioning, OS lifecycle management, containerized system enablement, and secure distributed service deployment. This role sits at the intersection of systems programming, Dev Ops automation, and scalable microservices development.

• Develop services and tooling for bare metal provisioning, OS imaging, boot loader and firmware orchestration
• Build and maintain microservices for key IaaS components like OTA updates, storage management, and node orchestration
• Interface with platform firmware via Redfish/IPMI and implement node‑level control logic
• Collaborate with hardware, networking, and storage teams to integrate low‑level capabilities into unified software workflows

• Contribute to CI/CD pipelines to test and deploy OS images and microservices
• Maintain version‑controlled infrastructure (IaC) and policy‑as‑code environments
• Integrate monitoring and observability stacks (e.g., Prometheus, Grafana, Vector)

• Create robust testing pipelines for infrastructure components (unit, integration, functional)
• Perform hardware‑in‑loop (HIL) testing, simulate failure scenarios, and ensure system resiliency
• Identify and remediate performance bottlenecks in hardware provisioning and orchestration flows
• Conduct code reviews and implement coding standards and best practices

The salary range of $97,000 — $162,000 is just one component of Panasonic’s total package. The final offer amount may vary based on factors including but not limited to individual’s knowledge, skills, experience, and location. In addition, this role may be eligible for discretionary bonuses and incentives. The minimum hourly wage for this role will be the greater of the posted range, or minimum wage for the location where the employee will be working, subject to local minimum wage requirements.

• Bachelor of Science Degree in Computer Sciences, Computer Engineering or Software Engineering, or equivalent experience
• 5–10 years of experience in software engineering, with significant exposure to IaaS or low‑level system development
• Ability to travel to domestic or international locations as required, up to 5% of the time

• Linux administration and internals (systemd, boot process, kernel tuning)
• Custom kernel config or module work (esp. for embedded or hybrid hardware)
• Kernel/user‑space interface debugging: strace, perf, dmesg, lsof, sysctl

• Deep knowledge of PXE/iPXE, DHCP, TFTP, and UEFI/BIOS flows
• Experience with hardware boot orchestration using Tinkerbell, MAAS, or Foreman
• Familiarity with BMC interfaces (IPMI, Redfish), RAID configuration, and hardware telemetry

• Hands‑on experience building immutable OS images (e.g., Talos, CoreOS, Yocto)
• Understanding of secure boot flows, disk encryption (e.g., LUKS), TPM provisioning
• Knowledge of disk cloning, partitioning tools, and custom OS deployment pipelines

• Proficiency in at least one modern programming language:
• GO for high‑performance services
• Python (FastAPI, Django, Flask)
• Strong understanding of object‑oriented programming and functional programming concepts
