We are trusted by 300+ million people in 100+ countries for our industry-leading security, user fund transparency, trading engine speed, deep liquidity, and an unmatched portfolio of digital-asset products. Binance offerings range from trading and finance to education, research, payments, institutional services, Web3 features, and more.

About the Role

We are building our own IDC infrastructure from the ground up. As a Senior Infrastructure Engineer, you will lead the architecture, buildout, and operations of our colocation data center — from rack layout to the on-prem Kubernetes platform. You build it, you own it. This is a true greenfield role with no legacy baggage and a high degree of architectural ownership.

Your core expertise will center on three pillars: building physical infrastructure from zero, running production-grade self-hosted Kubernetes, and hybrid-cloud interconnect. As the platform matures, you'll help drive the next phase of cross-cloud and scale-out buildout.

Responsibilities

Design rack layout, network topology, and overall configuration for colocation

Design and implement an isolated Out-of-Band (OOB) management network (BMC, IPMI, Redfish) with full security hardening

Coordinate with colocation and hardware vendors — servers, switches, cross-connects, uplinks, remote hands, and cage/rack administration

Build bare-metal automation for fleet-wide zero-touch OS provisioning (MAAS / Tinkerbell / Cluster API)

Set up production-grade self-hosted Kubernetes clusters from scratch and maintain the core stack: Cilium (CNI), GitOps (ArgoCD), etc.

Own cluster lifecycle: upgrades, scaling, node maintenance, incident response

Write SOPs, runbooks, and post-mortems; participate in 24×7 on-call rotation

Establish hybrid-cloud interconnect between IDC and public cloud (VPN / Direct Connect / peering)

Pave the way for scale-out: GPU workloads (NVIDIA GPU Operator, passthrough, MIG) and VM workloads running alongside containers (KubeVirt or similar)

Requirements

5+ years in data center / infrastructure / platform engineering

Hands-on experience building physical infrastructure from scratch: rack layout, network topology, server commissioning, and coordinating cross-connects and remote hands with colo / vendors

Practical experience designing and operating OOB management networks (BMC, IPMI, Redfish)

Have stood up production-grade self-hosted Kubernetes from scratch, and can independently debug cluster-level issues (CNI, CSI, storage)

Strong Linux systems administration and performance tuning (kernel, networking, storage I/O)

Bare-metal automation experience with at least one of: MAAS, Tinkerbell, Cluster API

Proficient with Terraform, Ansible, and at least one scripting language (Python / Go / Bash)

Experience with Cisco network and related techniques (VLAN, LACP/LAG, BGP, ACL, etc)

Experience with Palo Alto firewall configuration

Experience with storage systems (NetApp, Dell EMC, Pure Storage)

Fluent in English or Mandrain

Nice to Have

High-density racks (30kW+) and 400G+ networking experience

Familiarity with immutable OS (Talos Linux / Flatcar / Bottlerocket)

Proficiency across both AWS and GCP; cross-cloud data migration experience

Experience building storage or Bigdata / offline data clusters

Virtualization experience (KubeVirt or similars)

Exposure to NVIDIA GPU Operator and K8s GPU workloads

CKA / CKS certification

CCNP / CCIE certification

Professional-level Japanese
