Cloud platform engineer in energy forecasting

Amperon; United States; Remote; USD 180,000 - 230,000; Full time

Job summary

Amperon ищет опытного инженера SRE/инфраструктуры для управления и эволюции критической инфраструктуры на базе Kubernetes и Azure. Ваша роль — руководить крупномасштабными проектами, обеспечивать устойчивость сервисов и безопасность окружения, а также сотрудничать с командами Data и Product.

Требуется глубокий опыт Kubernetes, Terraform и GitOps, а также умение работать в международной среде с разнообразными временными поясами. Готовность к гибкому расписанию и удалённой работе приветствуется.

Qualifications

• 8+ лет опыта в инфраструктуре, платформах или SRE, включая руководящие роли над продакшн-системами.
• Опыт реализации много-месячных инфраструктурных программ от дизайна до развёртывания.
• Глубокие навыки Kubernetes в продакшене, желательно на управляемом стеке.
• Сильные навыки Terraform в крупной кодовой базе с GitOps-процессами.
• Опыт работы в облаке (Azure предпочтителен; AWS/GCP допускается).
• Опыт работы с базами данных в продакшене (MySQL, PostgreSQL, ClickHouse).
• Безопасность на уровне доступа, секреты и изоляция сети.
• Хорошие навыки наблюдаемости и алертов (OpenTelemetry).
• Умение писать на Python и shell для автоматизации.

Responsibilities

• Развёртывание и эволюция AKS-кластеров (production/workflow/AI) с Karpenter, Cilium, ArgoCD, Terraform и GitHub Actions.
• Руководство инфраструктурными программами: дизайн-доки, согласование с заинтересованными сторонами и пошаговый rollout.
• Обеспечение устойчивости баз данных (MySQL, PostgreSQL, ClickHouse): репликация, бэкапы, восстановления и апгрейды.
• Оптимизация и развитие стека наблюдения (OpenTelemetry, Prometheus, Grafana, Tempo) и обеспечение безопасной эксплуатации.

Job description

Описание

Amperon is the leading energy forecasting company, positioned at the intersection of energy data and AI. Founded in 2018, Amperon has become a trusted partner for power and utility companies, delivering demand, renewable generation, and price forecasts. With cutting-edge predictive analytics, seamless data integrations, and premium customer support, Amperon enables customers to enhance grid reliability and optimize asset performance.

Задачи

Run and evolve several AKS clusters (production, workflow, and AI/agent workloads) with Karpenter, Cilium network policy, workload identity, External Secrets, Helm and ArgoCD. Drive our Terraform estate, run through Atlantis: provider upgrades, drift reconciliation, module design and guardrails that keep changes safe, plus the GitHub Actions runners and build pipelines that ship them. Operate MySQL Flexible Server and self-managed ClickHouse with resilience first: replication, failover, backup and restore, capacity planning and safe upgrades. Design isolated, auditable environments for agentic workloads and MCP services, including egress controls, identity and observability, and a self-service path for teams to deploy internal apps safely. Evolve our observability stack (OpenTelemetry, Prometheus, Grafana, Tempo), keep alert rules in code, and make sure we hear about problems before customers do. Find and land Azure savings; we have cut tens of thousands of dollars a month and expect more. Join an on-call rotation spread across time zones, so customers and our own engineering teams get help during their working hours. Lead incident response and blameless postmortems, and support data engineering, data science and product teams. Write design docs, review code, mentor engineers, and leave systems documented so no one person is a single point of failure.

Требования

8+ years in infrastructure, platform or site reliability engineering, including several years at a senior level owning production systems. A track record of leading multi-month infrastructure programs end to end: design doc, stakeholder alignment, phased rollout, cutover and cleanup. Deep, hands‑on Kubernetes experience in production, ideally on a managed offering (AKS, EKS or GKE), including networking and network policy. Strong Terraform skills on a large codebase, with GitOps‑style workflows (Atlantis, ArgoCD or similar). Production experience with at least one major cloud. Azure is strongly preferred; deep AWS or GCP experience with a willingness to go deep on Azure also works. Experience operating relational or analytical databases in production (MySQL, PostgreSQL, ClickHouse or similar), including replication, upgrades and recovery. Security built into how you work: least privilege, identity‑based access over static credentials, secrets management, and network isolation. Solid observability practice: metrics, logs and traces (ideally with OpenTelemetry), alerting that people trust, and SLO thinking. Comfortable writing Python and shell for automation and tooling. Clear written communication. Much of our work happens in design docs, PRs and async threads across time zones. Будет плюсом: Running ClickHouse at scale, including clustering and replication; Argo Workflows or other high-volume batch and workflow platforms; Cilium, Karpenter or Node Auto Provisioning on AKS; Infrastructure for AI agents or LLM workloads: sandboxing, egress controls, model gateways, Azure AI Foundry; Using AI coding agents (such as Claude Code) as a daily part of your engineering work; Compliance programs such as SOC 2 or ISO 27001; Cloud cost management (FinOps) on Azure; Experience in energy, utilities or time-series data platforms.
