We are seeking a DevSecOps Engineer who will work with us initially on a project to launch a service that uses machine learning to predict and augment electricity demand time-series. The service will use both open and private data, and will need to store them with appropriate security measures. The engineer will set up the relevant code repositories, CI/CD pipelines to ensure code quality and automate testing and deployment. The role will also involve improving the organization’s engineering tools, systems, procedures, and data security, towards a security certification such as ISO/IEC 27001. As a fully-remote young organization, an ideal candidate must be an excellent communicator, able to collaborate asynchronously (e.g., Discord, Google Docs) and work independently, and keen to learn new skills and be flexible with tasks as needs arise.

Key Responsibilities:

• Deploy software products consisting of multiple services to production environments in a secure and reliable manner.
• Set up security measures to ensure sensitive client data complies with geo-restrictions, privacy policies, and security best practices.
• Automate routine tasks and develop tools to improve system efficiency and save time.
• Set up observability and monitoring tools that enable quick troubleshooting and root cause analysis, as well as incident response and alerting.
• Conduct system performance tuning and troubleshooting, as well as capacity planning, to ensure system reliability and efficiency.
• Lead an organization-wide effort to assess and implement a security framework such as ISO/IEC 27001.

Qualifications:

• Several years of experience in SRE, devops, security or related roles.
• Demonstrated ability to lead security and infrastructure projects.
• Familiarity with cyber security compliance requirements and frameworks such as ISO/IEC 27001,
• Experience with CI/CD (e.g., GitHub Actions, GitLab CI/CD, Jenkins), containerization tools (e.g.,Docker, Kubernetes), infrastructure automation (OpenTofu), monitoring (ELK, Prometheus, Grafana), and scripting languages (e.g., Python, Bash, Golang).
• Nice to have:
• Expertise with cloud platforms and services (e.g. GCP, AWS, Azure), knowledge of HPC tools (e.g., SLURM).
• Experience with machine learning frameworks and deployment tools (e.g. PyTorch, TensorFlow, ONNX).
• Effective asynchronous communication skills, ability to work independently, and a growth mindset is a must!

What We Offer:

• An opportunity to contribute meaningfully and positively to the climate transition.
• Competitive salary, comprehensive benefits, and a dynamic work environment.
• Flexible working hours, fully remote organization, and friendly and welcoming environment.
• Opportunities for professional growth within a globally recognized and respected organization.
