*Note: This position requires presence in our San Francisco, San Jose, or Bellevue office location 4 days per week; Lambda’s designated work from home day is currently Tuesday.


What You'll Do

 - Build and own the systems that digitally capture Lambda’s physical datacenter hardware, ensuring physical host and rack state stays accurate in our inventory source of truth

 - Design and implement conflict resolution and precedence logic across competing data sources (vendor manifests, on-site observation, and system-observed telemetry)

 - Build validation tooling that catches inventory errors before they propagate downstream

 - Design attestation and constraint systems that validate physical topology, cabling, rack composition, and containment, against intended logical configuration at scale

 - Lead the technical design of rack- and asset-level scanning workflows, including provisional-vs-verified data states, tagging/versioning of data provenance, and safe rollout of reduced-friction scanning modes

 - Partner cross-functionally with DC Operations, Engineering, and vendors to define what physical data needs to be captured, when, and by whom, and drive alignment on where automation should re
