Scaleway is hiring a Hardware Enablement Engineer (Linux)

About the Role

Join a team shaping the foundation of next-generation cloud infrastructure. As a Hardware Enablement Engineer, you'll focus on Linux kernel development, firmware validation, and automated deployment systems that power large-scale cloud and AI environments. Your work will directly impact the reliability, performance, and security of hardware platforms from initial bring-up through production deployment.

What You’ll Do

  • Develop, configure, and troubleshoot Linux kernels, initramfs, and squashfs images tailored to diverse hardware configurations
  • Validate firmware components including BIOS/UEFI, BMC, and CPU microcode across server platforms
  • Identify security vulnerabilities, apply patches, and oversee secure firmware updates and verification processes
  • Set up and maintain PXE-based network boot environments for efficient bare-metal provisioning
  • Automate OS image creation and deployment using Bash, Python, Ansible, and GitLab CI/CD pipelines
  • Test and validate operating system installations on physical hardware during bring-up phases
  • Design and manage containerized integration environments to simulate real-world deployment scenarios
  • Work closely with engineering teams to refine hardware quality tools and deployment workflows
  • Own the full lifecycle of system images and propose improvements for scalability and maintainability
  • Document firmware and OS validation procedures to ensure consistency and knowledge sharing

What We’re Looking For

  • Solid understanding of Linux internals, including kernel boot sequence, initrd mechanics, and filesystem image structure
  • Hands-on experience with firmware validation and hardware bring-up processes (BIOS, UEFI, BMC)
  • Proficiency with network deployment protocols such as PXE, TFTP, and DHCP
  • Strong scripting skills in Bash and Python, with experience in automation frameworks like Ansible
  • Familiarity with CI/CD systems (e.g., GitLab CI) and container technologies like Docker
  • 2–5 years in roles involving system automation, platform engineering, or DevOps

Environment & Benefits

  • Hybrid work model allowing up to three days of remote work weekly, with offices in Paris, Lille, Toulouse, Rennes, Rouen, Bordeaux, and Lyon
  • Modern office spaces with easy transit access, outdoor terraces, and bike storage
  • Onsite chef-prepared meals at headquarters, breakfast offered at all locations, and meal cards for regional teams
  • Wellness support including gym access and discounted caregiving services
  • Onsite daycare availability and family-friendly policies
  • A multicultural workplace with team members from dozens of countries
  • English and French used interchangeably; international collaboration is standard
  • Opportunities for internal mobility within a growing technology group

Our Culture

We value technical depth, collaboration, and open knowledge sharing. Our focus is on building a sovereign, responsible cloud infrastructure with a commitment to transparency and balanced work practices. Engineers are empowered to lead improvements and drive innovation across the platform stack.
