About The Position

Overland AI is building off-road autonomy, and our software infrastructure is the backbone that enables our teams to move fast, experiment safely, and ship mission-critical systems. As a junior system administrator on our Enterprise Technology team. This is an early-career, growth position designed for individuals who are excited to learn across a wide range of technical disciplines and develop into future technical leaders. This role sits at the intersection of software engineering, infrastructure, enterprise technology, and developer enablement. You will work alongside software engineers, roboticists, and infrastructure engineers to solve problems across the organization—from building AI workstations and writing Slack bots to supporting networking initiatives, developing internal tooling, and helping deploy infrastructure that powers our engineering teams. The ideal candidate is an early career professional in an engineering discipline or a technical field. They are passionate about technology, enjoy building things, and approach unfamiliar problems with curiosity and persistence. They are equally comfortable assembling a GPU workstation, writing a Python utility, researching a networking problem, or collaborating with engineers to develop innovative solutions.
