Tenki - Platform Engineer: OpenStack (PH)

About Tenki We started Tenki on the belief that compute is the new digital oil. As global demand for compute power accelerates, scalable and tradable compute is set to become one of the most valuable markets of our lifetime. Our goal is to become the leaders in harnessing, refining, and trading compute-unlocking a new asset class for the world’s most important digital resource. Tenki connects producers of compute with a growing universe of consumers. Producers get transparent pricing, predictable settlement, and access to global demand. Consumers get simple, developer-friendly access to high-quality compute at competitive prices. We’re currently building the consumer side, starting with GitHub Actions, enabling developers to offload workflows directly through Tenki. Soon, we’ll expand to a broad suite of cloud services like Virtual Machines, Databases, AI Agents, and more. As we expand, our focus will broaden beyond consumers to include the supply side, enabling producers to offer compute through Tenki and later the development of financial instruments that support a more efficient and tradable compute market. About The Role We are looking for a Networking Engineer to join a small but talent dense team building the future of compute markets. While this role is remote-based, you are required to reside or relocate to one of our hubs: LATAM (GMT-3) or Philippines (GMT+8). This Position will report to the Tenki Platform Engineer Manager.

In this role, you’ll help build the core infrastructure that powers Tenki’s. You will:

• Lead the deployment, configuration, and management of multiple OpenStack private cloud platforms across multiple datacenters.
• Oversee the full lifecycle of OpenStack services.
• Implement high availability (HA), scaling, and resiliency best practices across the cloud environment.
• Perform upgrades, patches, and maintenance of OpenStack clusters with minimal downtime.
• Design and build fully automated, repeatable OpenStack deployment pipelines, with a strong focus on reproducibility and lift-and-shift readiness across datacenters.
• Contribute to the creation of modular, reusable automation playbooks, roles, and CI/CD pipelines for infrastructure provisioning.
• Implement Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) practices using Ansible, Terraform, and Git-based workflows.
• Document procedures, architecture, and best practices to enhance team knowledge and cross-training.
• Work closely with infrastructure, networking, and DevOps teams to support cloud-aligned initiatives.
• Experience with OpenStack Neutron and SDN plugins highly preferred.

About You 3+ years of hands-on experience working in production-grade OpenStack environments (deployment, administration, troubleshooting). 5+ years in platform operations, cloud or infrastructure engineering. Deep understanding of OpenStack architecture, components, and service interactions. Hands-on experience with virtualization technologies such as KVM, QEMU, VMware, or similar.

Strong practical knowledge of:

L2/L3 networking fundamentals VLANs, bonding, NIC teaming Routing & switching Security groups, firewalls Load balancers, overlays, VXLAN/GRE

• Experience with monitoring and alerting tools such as Zabbix, Nagios, Prometheus, Grafana, or similar.
• Ability to integrate logs and telemetry to assist in capacity planning, health-checking, and issue debugging.
• We are building a startup within a startup. Tenki was born within Luxor as we expand our vision from mining compute to generalized compute. Learn more about how we work and our principles here.
