Automation Infrastructure Tech Lead

Description At Infinidat, a Lenovo company, we empower enterprises and service providers with cutting-edge storage platforms that redefine performance, reliability, and cyber resilience at scale. We are looking for an Automation Infrastructure Tech Lead to join our System Validation & Verification team - someone who combines deep hands-on infrastructure expertise with the leadership skills to drive technical direction, mentor engineers (local and remote sites), and own end-to-end quality strategy for a complex, enterprise-grade distributed storage system. This role is centered on building infrastructure for a highly scaled automation environment - hands-on, low-level development in C++ and Python, paired with growing a team capable of doing the same. If you thrive at the intersection of infrastructure architecture, code, and quality - and get energized by the challenge of making large-scale systems work smoothly and solutions-oriented - we'd love for you to join us. Responsibilities Lead the technical direction of the infrastructure powering our large-scale automation environment: define architecture, coding standards, and best practices across the different infrastructure components. Engage with Automation, R&D, Product, and other Infra groups from the earliest stages of feature development - weighing in on testability, edge cases, and environment/protocol compatibility to enable smooth, scaled development and testing. Mentor and grow engineers across local and remote sites - conducting design and code reviews, and raising the team's overall engineering bar. Drive root cause investigations of complex, hard-to-reproduce issues: race conditions, timing-sensitive failures, and environment-mismatch problems that only surface at scale. Requirements At least 10 years of hands-on coding experience in Python and C++ on Linux platforms, ideally building infrastructure or tooling for test/automation environments. At least 2 years of experience managing or technically mentoring a team. Strong Python development skills - you write production-quality, high-scale code, not just scripts. Proven experience with complex, multi-service distributed systems, including diagnosing how failures propagate across component boundaries. Demonstrated ability to design large-scale infrastructure strategy that accommodates diverse requirements across multiple groups. Excellent diagnostic skills, especially for non-deterministic or environment-sensitive failures. Highly motivated, confident, quick learner, and a collaborative team player. BSc in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or equivalent. Preferred Qualifications Background in enterprise storage (SAN / NAS / Object Storage) - a significant advantage. Hands-on experience with FC communication protocols, file protocols (SMB, NFS), or object storage protocols (S3). Linux internals and networking knowledge.
