Strongly Preferred - AI-Augmented Workflow Experience Candidates who have meaningful, demonstrable experience using AI tools to automate workflow tasks will be prioritized over otherwise-equivalent candidates without that experience ## Description We are looking for an early-career engineer eager to learn the orchestration and management of scalable, containerized applications in a cloud-based environment, and excited to use modern AI tooling to make day-to-day operations work faster and more reliably., * Using LLM-based coding assistants (Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, etc.) to write, refactor, or review infrastructure and pipeline code. * Building AI-driven automations for log analysis, alert triage, runbook execution, or ticket routing. * Writing prompts, agents, or scripts that integrate AI with operational tooling (Slack, Jira, Confluence, Git, observability stacks). * A practical sense of where AI accelerates work and where human review is still required. Bonus Points * Exposure to observability tooling - the LGTM stack (Loki, Grafana, Tempo/Jaeger, Mimir/Prometheus) and/or Sentry. * Entry-level certifications related to cloud (AWS Cloud Practitioner, GCP ACE, AZ-900) or Kubernetes (KCNA, CKAD). * Coursework, projects, or hobby experience with distributed databases. * Curiosity about microservices and service-mesh architectures. * Public portfolio: GitHub, blog posts, homelab write-ups, or contributions to open-source DevOps projects., * Assist in designing, implementing, and maintaining scalable, fault-tolerant systems that leverage cluster orchestration and containerization technologies, with guidance from senior engineers. * Work alongside the Software Engineering and QA teams to support deployment processes for microservices-based architectures. * Help build and maintain CI/CD pipelines that support container-based application deployment and rollback. * Support system availability by running health checks and contributing to zero-downtime deployments. * Participate in a supported on-call rotation, escalating critical system issues appropriately as you build incident-response experience. * Collaborate with information security teams to follow industry best practices and compliance requirements. * Use AI-assisted tooling (e.g., LLM-powered coding assistants, chat-ops agents, scripted automations) to accelerate routine tasks such as log triage, runbook execution, ticket drafting, and code review. ## Related Videos - [Shipping Faster with Less: Render on Cloud Hosting, AI Workloads, and the Future of DevOps](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1894-shipping-faster-with-less-render-on-cloud-hosting-ai-workloads-and-the-future-of-devops) - [Rate-limiting using eBPF and Istio: How to protect your SaaS customers from themselves](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100220-rate-limiting-using-ebpf-and-istio-how-to-protect-your-saas-customers-from-themselves) - [Collaboration Quantified: Lessons from Open Source Developer Networks](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1422-collaboration-quantified-lessons-from-open-source-developer-networks) - [How a Small Team Shrank a Microsoft Monorepo by 94%](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1236-how-a-small-team-shrank-a-microsoft-monorepo-by-94) - [GitOps for the people](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/815-gitops-for-the-people) - [Get started with securing your cloud-native Java microservices applications](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/123-get-started-with-securing-your-cloud-native-java-microservices-applications) ## Related Articles - [Dev Digest 121 - AI goes offline](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/456-dev-digest-121-ai-goes-offline) - [Is Software Engineering Over-Saturated?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/418-is-software-engineering-over-saturated) - [DevOps Engineer Salary [2023]](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/203-devops-engineer-salary-2023) - [Dev Digest 120 - Apple and peers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/455-dev-digest-120-apple-and-peers) - [Fully Remote Software Engineer Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/447-fully-remote-software-engineer-jobs) - [Where To Find Software Engineering Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/396-where-to-find-software-engineering-jobs)
