    Job Description

    We are sharing a specialised consulting opportunity for experienced DevOps, SRE, Platform, and Infrastructure Engineers with strong expertise in Kubernetes, Terraform, CI/CD, Python, Linux, cloud infrastructure, and infrastructure as code to contribute to an advanced AI training and technical evaluation project.

    Selected professionals will design realistic DevOps tasks based on production-style scenarios, build working reference solutions, evaluate AI-generated technical outputs, and provide precise corrections grounded in practical infrastructure engineering. The work requires strong coding ability, hands-on cloud and platform experience, and a high standard for correctness and reproducibility. No prior experience in AI is required.

    Key Responsibilities

    DevOps Scenario & Task Design

    • Design realistic technical tasks based on production-style DevOps environments
    • Create scenarios involving CI/CD, containers, orchestration, infrastructure as code, monitoring, and incident response
    • Ensure tasks reflect practical engineering constraints rather than purely theoretical exercises
    • Define clear expected outcomes and validation criteria
    • Maintain technical realism across infrastructure and platform-engineering workflows

    Reference Solutions & Reproducibility

    • Write working reference solutions for DevOps and infrastructure tasks
    • Provide clear setup, execution, and validation steps
    • Build reproducible solutions that can be verified consistently
    • Document assumptions, dependencies, and environment requirements
    • Maintain a strict quality bar for technical correctness

    AI Output Review & Technical Evaluation

    • Review AI-generated solutions to DevOps and infrastructure problems
    • Identify technical failures, incorrect assumptions, and incomplete implementations
    • Write precise corrections explaining both the issue and the appropriate solution
    • Evaluate outputs for correctness, reliability, and operational viability
    • Provide structured feedback that improves future task and evaluation quality

    Cloud, Containers & Infrastructure as Code

    • Work with Docker, Kubernetes, and modern containerised infrastructure
    • Design or evaluate CI/CD workflows using platforms such as GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, or Jenkins
    • Apply Infrastructure as Code using Terraform, Ansible, Pulumi, CloudFormation, or comparable tools
    • Work across at least one major cloud platform such as AWS, GCP, or Azure
    • Apply strong Linux and Git practices across technical workflows

    Platform Reliability & Engineering Quality

    • Assess infrastructure solutions for scalability, reliability, maintainability, and security
    • Diagnose deployment, configuration, or automation failures
    • Incorporate observability and operational best practices where relevant
    • Maintain consistent standards across production-style engineering tasks
    • Contribute structured feedback that supports continuous improvement of technical evaluation frameworks

    Ideal Profile

    • 3+ years of professional experience in DevOps, SRE, Platform Engineering, Infrastructure Engineering, or a closely related role
    • Strong coding ability in Python, Go, Bash, TypeScript, or comparable languages
    • Ability to work with real application and infrastructure code rather than relying solely on basic scripting
    • Practical experience with CI/CD systems such as GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, or Jenkins
    • Strong experience with Docker and Kubernetes
    • Hands-on experience with at least one major cloud platform, including AWS, GCP, or Azure
    • Infrastructure as Code experience with Terraform, Ansible, Pulumi, CloudFormation, or comparable tooling
    • Advanced Linux and Git proficiency
    • Strong written and spoken English
    • Experience with observability platforms such as Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog, or OpenTelemetry is advantageous
    • Security, secrets-management, or platform-reliability experience is beneficial
    • Open-source contributions or technical-writing experience are valued
    • Previous AI-training or model-evaluation experience is beneficial but not required
    • No prior experience in AI is required

    Engagement Details

    • Independent contractor engagement
    • Fully remote
    • Compensation: $50–$100/hour
    • Minimum availability: approximately 20 hours per week
    • Work will involve DevOps task design, reference-solution development, AI-output evaluation, cloud infrastructure, CI/CD, containers, and Infrastructure as Code
    • Strong coding ability and hands-on infrastructure experience are central to this engagement
    • Assignments may involve Kubernetes, Terraform, Linux, Git, Docker, cloud platforms, monitoring, and incident-response scenarios
    • Project scope, workload, technical focus, and evaluation standards may evolve depending on project requirements
    • Work must be completed without using confidential or proprietary information belonging to any employer, client, institution, or other third party
