Job Description

Job Type:Full-time |Location: Sydney |Work Location Type: #onsite
IREN is a vertically integrated AI Cloud provider, delivering large-scale data centers and GPU clusters for AI training and inference. IREN’s platform is underpinned by its expansive portfolio of grid-connected land and power in renewable-rich regions across North America, Europe and APAC.
With 100% renewable energy, we build, own and operate our data centers and take pride in being at the forefront of sustainable solutions for the ever-evolving applications of high-performance compute. We believe that human progress is invaluable, but it should be done in the right way – responsibly, sustainably and having a positive impact on the communities we operate in.

We are seeking an IOC Reliability & Observability Analyst I with a strong reliability, observability, and automation mindset to support our 24/7 HPC Data Center Operations. The role focuses on analyzing operational signals, improving incident quality, and supporting AIOps enabled automation and tooling and is designed for candidates early in their careers who want to grow into Site Reliability, Infrastructure Operations, or Platform Engineering paths.
This is an entry‑level (Level 1) IOC role focused on operational analysis, data quality, and reliability signal validation rather than system design or engineering ownership. You will support IOC, engineering, and operations teams by analyzing incidents, validating operational signals, and identifying opportunities to improve detection quality and operational reliability under established processes and guidance.

Job Requirements

• 1-3 years of experience in IOC, NOC, SRE‑adjacent operations, systems analysis, or technical support roles
• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Data Science, Statistics, or equivalent hands‑on experience
• Exposure to 24/7 production environments supporting infrastructure, cloud, or data center operations
• Foundational awareness of SRE concepts such as service health, MTTR/MTTD, and the incident lifecycle, with the ability to apply these concepts in operational analysis.
• Working knowledge of Linux-based systems, basic networking concepts, and infrastructure dependencies
• Experience working with metrics, logs, and alerting systems across infrastructure or application environments
• Familiarity with observability platforms (e.g., Splunk, Datadog, Prometheus-style metrics)
• Ability to assess alert quality, identify noise, and recognize monitoring gaps
• Awareness of AIOps concepts such as anomaly detection, event correlation, and alert noise reduction, primarily for the purpose of reviewing and validating automated insights
• Experience validating automated insights and supporting alerting or observability automation
• Ability to read automation artifacts (Python, Bash, or configuration-based workflows) and assist with minor updates under documented procedures and guidance
• Ability to analyze incident trends and system behaviors with strong attention to data accuracy, signal integrity, and identify recurring issues or improvement opportunities
• Clear communication skills and comfort working cross-functionally with operations and engineering teams

Other important requirements

• Pre-employment screening, including background check and substance testing may be required according to company policies
