AWS experience is preferred, and bare-metal or data centre experience is strongly valued * Networking and Linux depth you can debug with: you can follow a problem from a container through the host to the network edge * Infrastructure as code with Terraform or equivalent, and GitOps delivery with tooling such as ArgoCD, applied to environments you have owned in production * Software engineering skills in at least one major language, Go or Python preferred, at the level of building tooling other engineers rely on * A track record of technical ownership spanning several teams: you create clarity where a mandate crosses team boundaries, hold clear technical positions, change them on evidence and carry other engineers with you * Strong incident-management and reliability-engineering discipline, and the ownership mindset to build more resilient systems, * GPU infrastructure for training or inference at scale * Distributed storage systems in production, such as Ceph * Having served researchers or data scientists as platform customers * Networking at BGP level in a hybrid or on-prem environment ## Description * Take ownership of the reliability, capacity and cost efficiency of DeepL's compute infrastructure, CPU and GPU: the hybrid platform serving our products across AWS and on-prem, and the on-prem clusters powering our research, including their hardware lifecycle * Shape the platform's architecture: bring strong technical positions, weigh them on their merits with your peers, and commit to decisions serving the best outcome * Design, build and operate production-grade Kubernetes clusters across cloud and on-prem infrastructure, taking them from design through to long-term operation * Drive the technical work of deepening the hybrid model - unifying how workloads run across on-prem hardware and cloud, especially AWS and supporting research as it adopts cloud-native technology and ways of working * Define infrastructure-as-code and platform standards that hold across the track, and strengthen observability and security so the platform's behaviour is legible to the teams that depend on it * Mentor engineers across the infrastructure track and raise the technical bar of the group, through design reviews, architecture decisions and the everyday habits that keep the platform maintainable * Build consensus across engineering teams and turn it into shipped change, shaping platform direction at track level * Lead incident response for hybrid infrastructure, driving remediation through to root cause, and help sustain an on-call rotation the team can carry for the long term ## Related Videos - [Running Secure Life Science Research at Scale using Hybrid GPU HPC and Kubernetes 🧬](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100355-running-secure-life-science-research-at-scale-using-hybrid-gpu-hpc-and-kubernetes) - [Docker network without Docker](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1418-docker-network-without-docker) - [Infrastructure as Code: The Developer's Secret Weapon](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1221-infrastructure-as-code-the-developer-s-secret-weapon) - [Understanding Kubernetes in a visual way](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100085-understanding-kubernetes-in-a-visual-way) - [Building a Cloud Platform Where Everything is Just Another Kubernetes Resource](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100137-building-a-cloud-platform-where-everything-is-just-another-kubernetes-resource) - [Docker exec without Docker](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1094-docker-exec-without-docker) ## Related Articles - [How We Built a Worry-Free System That Runs for 10+ Years – And What We’d Do Again](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/751-how-we-built-a-worry-free-system-that-runs-for-10-years-and-what-we-d-do-again) - [7 Cloud Computing Trends Coming in 2025 for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/412-7-cloud-computing-trends-coming-in-2025-for-developers) - [Dev Digest 121 - AI goes offline](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/456-dev-digest-121-ai-goes-offline) - [Highest Paying Tech Companies for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/220-highest-paying-tech-companies-for-developers) - [Learning Kubernetes made easy with KubeCampus](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/348-learning-kubernetes-made-easy-with-kubecampus) - [Dev Digest 120 - Apple and peers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/455-dev-digest-120-apple-and-peers)
