Senior Software Engineer – System Management Software

Job Location-

Position Overview

System Management Software Engineer

The candidate will play a key role in building predictable, scalable, and automated workflows for onboarding, provisioning, telemetry collection, firmware upgrades, and power state management across a heterogeneous server ecosystem.

Key Responsibilities

• System Management Development

• Design, develop, and maintain system management software for multi-vendor server environments.
• Build robust integrations with

  Redfish APIs

  to administer BMC functions reliably.

• Server Lifecycle Management

• Implement predictable workflows for server onboarding, PXE booting through UEFI, and firmware/BMC upgrades.
• Develop automation for power state transitions (shutdown, restart, warm boot, cold boot).

• Telemetry & Monitoring

• Design and integrate telemetry data pipelines to capture key server health parameters (e.g., temperature, fan speeds, power consumption, CPU/memory metrics).
• Ensure telemetry data feeds into analytics and monitoring systems for proactive system management.

• Ecosystem Integration

• Collaborate with hardware vendors to validate Redfish compliance and ensure consistency across platforms.
• Develop automated test harnesses to measure predictability, reliability, and consistency of API-driven operations.

• Software Engineering Best Practices

• Write efficient, clean, and maintainable code in

  C, C++, Python, and GoLang

  .
• Conduct code reviews, unit testing, integration testing, and performance optimizations.
• Document architecture, design decisions, and operational procedures.

Required Qualifications

• Experience

  : Minimum

  5 years

  in software development with exposure to

  system management or server lifecycle software

  .

• Languages

  : Proficiency in

  C, C++, Python, and GoLang

  (at least 23 must be at production level).

• Protocols & APIs

  : Strong experience with

  Redfish API, Swordfish API, REST APIs, and BMC interfaces

  .

• System Knowledge

  : Deep understanding of

  PXE boot (UEFI/Legacy)

  , server provisioning, and power state management.

• Firmware Management

  : Experience in

  firmware and BMC upgrade workflows

  in production environments.

• Telemetry

  : Familiarity with

  monitoring frameworks

  (Prometheus, Elastic, or similar) and designing telemetry pipelines.

• OS/Platform

  : Solid background in

  Linux system programming

  and networking fundamentals. Deep understanding of x86 architecture, and experience with debugging tools. Familiar with UEFI/BIOS firmware for computer systems, ensuring hardware initialization during startup and compatibility with new hardware

• Collaboration

  : Strong problem-solving skills with the ability to work across

  multi-vendor ecosystems

  and cross-functional teams.

Preferred Qualifications

• Hands-on experience in

  datacenter-scale server management solutions

  .
• Contributions to

  open-source projects

  related to Redfish, IPMI, or system management software.
• Knowledge of

  virtualization platforms

  and

  containerized environments (Docker, Kubernetes)

  .
• Exposure to

  DevOps tools

  (Ansible, Terraform, CI/CD pipelines).

Success Metrics for This Role

• Successful onboarding of new servers across multiple vendors.
• Reliable PXE booting via UEFI with minimal intervention.
• Predictable and consistent Redfish API-driven administration across servers.
• Stable execution of server power state cycles in production.
• Repeatable and automated firmware and BMC upgrade processes.
• Comprehensive telemetry collection feeding into monitoring and analytics systems.
