[Hiring] Infrastructure / SRE Engineer @Nexfeld

Role Description

You will build the foundations the whole team stands on - cloud landing zones, infrastructure-as-code, Kubernetes, CI/CD, and observability - and establish the reliability practice that lets us ship safely. Our customers run 24/7 mission-critical operations, so reliability is a feature, not an afterthought.

You'll report to the Head of AI Platform Engineering and join a small, senior founding team building the platform from the ground up.

Qualifications

• Production infrastructure: You have built and run production cloud infrastructure and owned its reliability.
• Operations as engineering: You treat operations as engineering, not ticket-driven ops.
• On-call maturity: You have carried real on-call for what you built.
• Clear communication: You explain your thinking clearly to engineers, product partners and customers, and bring people along.
• Value and pragmatism: You focus on outcomes and value, and make pragmatic calls to ship.

Requirements

• Kubernetes and IaC: Kubernetes and infrastructure-as-code in production.
• Azure depth: Landing zones, networking and identity on Azure.
• Customer-managed environments: Shipping software into environments the vendor does not fully control.
• Regulated delivery: Delivery into regulated or restricted environments.
• Compute cost: Cost optimisation for GPUs or other expensive compute.
• Languages: Comfortable in Python, C#/.NET or Go for tooling and automation.
• Architecture: System and platform design, and trade-off judgement such as one-way versus two-way doors.
• Enterprise scale: Experience building or operating enterprise-scale software, and its reliability, security and integration demands.
• AI-assisted engineering: You use AI coding assistants productively and supervise their output with judgement.

Benefits

• Production-first: Reliability is the product for customers who rely on us 24/7. You will ship safe, repeatable delivery, not experiments.
• Platform and product: You will build the foundations that the whole team and portfolio stand on. One solid platform multiplies everyone's velocity.
• Domain-first, not tech-first: You will learn the domain well enough to know what "reliable" means to customers running mission-critical operations.
• A founding role: As an early hire, you will establish the delivery and on-call culture and help raise the bar as we grow.
• Pragmatic build or buy: You will make pragmatic build or buy decisions on infrastructure and tooling, without gold-plating.
