At Terabase Energy, we believe that digitalization and automation will drive the next wave of innovation and cost reduction in large scale solar. To fully unlock the potential of this opportunity, Terabase is developing an interconnected software and construction automation platform. We work alongside project developers, owners, and engineering & construction firms to support the design, optimization, and construction of huge solar projects around the world. Our team is a blend of solar-industry veterans and newbies, thought-leaders, dreamers, software, electrical and mechanical engineers, coders, product managers, project managers, and sales and marketing professionals. We are based in Northern California, with several other offices in the United States and around the world.
About the Role
We are looking for an experienced Compute Engineer to own and operate the server, virtualization, and endpoint compute layer that our business runs on. You will keep our physical and virtual servers healthy, design and manage our hypervisor estate, and administer the Microsoft cloud and device management stack (Microsoft Entra ID/Azure AD, Intune, Windows 365). This is a hands-on role at the center of how applications, identities, and devices connect across the organization.
You will set technical direction for the compute environment, lead infrastructure projects end-to-end, and guide other engineers. You will work closely with networking, security, applications, and helpdesk teams to deliver reliable, secure, and scalable compute resources — and you will be a key contributor as we add capacity to support company growth.
Key Responsibilities
• Architecture & technical leadership: Set technical direction for the compute environment. Design scalable, resilient server and virtualization architectures, lead infrastructure projects end-to-end, and drive capacity and lifecycle planning.
• Standards & guidance: Establish standards and best practices for the team, review work, and guide other engineers.
• Server & VM management: Provision, configure, patch, and maintain physical servers and virtual machines (Windows Server and Linux). Monitor health, capacity, and performance, and remediate complex issues.
• Virtualization: Design and administer the hypervisor environment (e.g., VMware vSphere, Microsoft Hyper-V, or equivalent), host management, resource allocation, snapshots, templates, and high availability/clustering.
• Microsoft identity & cloud: Administer Microsoft Entra ID (Azure AD), including users, groups, roles, conditional access, and hybrid identity (Entra Connect). Manage integrations and SSO between on-prem and cloud services.
