We are looking for Cloud / DevOps Engineer (Infra & IaC) candidates for a project delivered through Mercor.
What you'll do
- Guide research and engineering teams to close knowledge gaps and improve AI model performance in cloud infrastructure, Kubernetes operations, and Infrastructure-as-Code topics.
- Design challenging, domain-relevant tasks, and write accurate and well-structured solutions to cluster diagnosis, AWS service integration, and infrastructure automation problems.
- Evaluate infrastructure engineering tasks and solutions and provide clear, written technical feedback.
- Develop guidelines and detailed rubrics/evaluation frameworks to assess cluster failure diagnosis, IaC design quality, and CI/CD pipeline reasoning across tasks.
- Collaborate with other subject matter experts to ensure consistency and accuracy in training data.
What you need
- 4+ years of dedicated professional experience in cloud infrastructure, DevOps, site reliability, or platform engineering at a recognized, top-tier organization.
- Hands-on production experience operating Kubernetes, including diagnosing and repairing cluster failures — not solely authoring manifests or using a managed control plane.
- Production experience with Infrastructure-as-Code, specifically Terraform and/or AWS CDK.
- Direct experience integrating AWS services in production, including Lambda, API Gateway, and DynamoDB.
- Experience building and owning CI/CD pipelines.
- Demonstrable career progression.
- Ability to engage reliably for at least 40 hours/week during weekdays.
- Strong written communication skills and the ability to explain complex technical decisions clearly.
