This a Full Remote job, the offer is available from: New York (USA) We are sharing a specialised full-time opportunity for experienced Cloud and DevOps Engineers with strong hands-on expertise in Kubernetes operations, AWS infrastructure, Infrastructure-as-Code, and production CI/CD environments. This role supports advanced infrastructure-focused technical work involving cloud systems, cluster operations, infrastructure automation, and deployment pipelines. Selected engineers will design and evaluate challenging technical tasks, diagnose production-style infrastructure issues, develop rigorous solutions, and contribute expert feedback across Kubernetes, AWS, IaC, and DevOps workflows. Key Responsibilities Kubernetes Operations & Troubleshooting • Design and evaluate technically challenging Kubernetes infrastructure tasks • Diagnose cluster failures and identify underlying configuration, networking, scheduling, resource, or service issues • Develop technically accurate solutions to complex Kubernetes operational problems • Review proposed remediation approaches for correctness and production feasibility • Apply hands-on operational judgement beyond basic manifest authoring or managed-control-plane usage AWS Cloud Infrastructure • Design and review infrastructure scenarios involving production AWS environments • Evaluate integrations involving AWS Lambda, API Gateway, and DynamoDB • Assess architecture, service configuration, dependencies, and operational considerations • Identify technically incorrect assumptions or weak infrastructure designs • Review solutions for scalability, reliability, and practical implementation quality Infrastructure-as-Code • Design and evaluate infrastructure automation using Terraform and/or AWS CDK • Review IaC architecture, resource definitions, dependencies, and deployment approaches • Assess maintainability, correctness, and operational safety of infrastructure definitions • Identify configuration weaknesses and infrastructure automation risks • Develop clear reference solutions for complex IaC scenarios CI/CD Engineering • Evaluate CI/CD pipeline designs and deployment workflows • Review build, test, release, and deployment automation for technical soundness • Assess pipeline dependencies, failure handling, and operational reliability • Identify gaps in deployment logic, validation, or rollback planning • Evaluate approaches for maintaining reliable delivery across production environments Technical Task Design • Design challenging, domain-relevant problems involving cloud infrastructure, Kubernetes, and automation • Write accurate and well-structured solutions to infrastructure engineering tasks • Develop scenarios that test practical diagnostic and engineering judgement • Ensure tasks reflect realistic production environments and engineering constraints • Calibrate technical difficulty and expected solution quality Evaluation & Technical Review • Evaluate infrastructure engineering tasks and proposed solutions • Assess technical work for correctness, completeness, and production readiness • Identify infrastructure, architectural, automation, and reasoning errors • Provide clear written technical feedback • Distinguish substantive engineering failures from minor implementation differences Rubrics & Quality Standards • Develop detailed evaluation frameworks for infrastructure engineering tasks • Define criteria for cluster failure diagnosis, IaC design quality, and CI/CD reasoning • Establish clear standards for technically correct and production-appropriate solutions • Apply evaluation criteria consistently across complex engineering scenarios • Collaborate with other technical experts to maintain accuracy and consistency Technical Knowledge Development • Help identify gaps in cloud infrastructure and DevOps reasoning • Contribute expert knowledge across Kubernetes operations, AWS services, Infrastructure-as-Code, and deployment engineering • Explain complex technical decisions clearly and precisely • Evaluate unfamiliar infrastructure scenarios using first-principles engineering judgement • Support improvement of technical training and evaluation materials Ideal Profile • 4+ years of dedicated professional experience in cloud infrastructure, DevOps, Site Reliability Engineering, platform engineering, or a closely related field • Experience as a DevOps Engineer, Cloud Engineer, Infrastructure Engineer, Platform Engineer, Site Reliability Engineer (SRE), or similar professional • Strong hands-on production experience operating Kubernetes • Demonstrated ability to diagnose and repair Kubernetes cluster failures, beyond simply authoring manifests or using managed control planes • Production experience with Terraform and/or AWS CDK • Direct production experience integrating AWS Lambda, API Gateway, and DynamoDB • Experience building and owning CI/CD pipelines • Strong understanding of cloud infrastructure, deployment automation, production reliability, and operational troubleshooting • Demonstrable professional progression within infrastructure, DevOps, SRE, or platform engineering • Strong written communication skills and ability to explain complex technical decisions clearly • Professional experience within recognised, technically rigorous organisations is preferred Engagement Details • Full-time position • Fully remote within the United States • 40 hours per week • Weekday availability required • Compensation: $65–$100/hour • Work focuses on Kubernetes operations, AWS infrastructure, Infrastructure-as-Code, CI/CD pipelines, and related technical evaluation • Collaboration with research, engineering, and other subject-matter experts • Opportunity to contribute to advanced AI infrastructure and technical evaluation workstreams About the Platform This
