Job description

We are looking for an InfraOps Engineer to take technical ownership of our cloud infrastructure, platform performance, and DevOps automation.

AtIntelliSense.io, we combine physics-based modelling with AI to simulate, optimise, and automate physical industrial operations in real time.

What you’ll be working on

• Performance & Latency: Drive end-to-end performance engineering across container runtimes, database throughput, and network routing to optimise system speed and resilience under load.
• Observability: Implement high-precision metrics, distributed tracing, and profiling tools (OpenTelemetry, Prometheus) to resolve micro-bottlenecks.
• Cloud & IaC Ownership: Lead cloud architecture (Azure/GCP), Kubernetes orchestration, and declarative IaC automation (Terraform, Pulumi).
• CI/CD & Developer Tooling: Build self-service internal platform tools and robust CI/CD pipelines enabling high-velocity deployments.
• SRE & Reliability: Apply SRE principles, lead high-severity incident responses, champion root-cause analysis, and ensure strict SLA/SLO delivery.

What we’re looking for

• Experience: 5+ years in Platform Engineering, SRE, or Systems Architecture.
• Performance Engineering: Proven track record in tuning and resolving bottlenecks in high-throughput, low-latency distributed environments.
• Cloud & Kubernetes: Hands‑on expertise with Azure/GCP and production‑grade Kubernetes.
• Automation & Tooling: Strong programming skills in Go, Python, C/Rust, or advanced Bash.
• Opportunity to work on cutting‑edge technology and meaningful data challenges
• A collaborative, global team of talented engineers and domain experts
• A continuous learning environment with real opportunities to grow and lead
