Role Title: DevOps Engineer

Role Type: Contractor

Location: Remote

micro1 is engaging DevOps Engineers to contribute to a dynamic customer project focused on scalable, modern cloud infrastructure. In this role, you'll apply your expertise to help train next-generation AI systems. Your work will shape how models learn, reason, and perform through high-quality, real-world input. No prior experience in AI is required — your domain knowledge is what matters. This opportunity is ideal for professionals passionate about automation, infrastructure as code, and continuous improvement, with a special focus on strong written and verbal communication skills.

Key responsibilities

  • Design realistic DevOps tasks based on production-style scenarios (CI/CD, containers, orchestration, IaC, monitoring, incident response)
  • Write working reference solutions with clear setup and validation steps
  • Review AI-generated output, identify failures, and write precise corrections with reasoning
  • Maintain a strict quality bar on correctness and reproducibility
  • Share structured feedback that improves future task design

Required qualifications

  • 3+ years of professional experience in DevOps, SRE, Platform, or Infrastructure engineering
  • Strong coding ability in Python, Go, Bash, or TypeScript (this role needs real code, not scripts alone)
  • Practical depth in CI/CD (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins), Docker, Kubernetes, and at least one cloud (AWS, GCP, Azure)
  • Infrastructure as Code experience (Terraform, Ansible, Pulumi, or CloudFormation)
  • Advanced Linux and Git
  • Professional English, written and spoken
  • Availability of at least 20 hours per week

Preferred qualifications

  • Observability stack experience (Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog, OpenTelemetry)
  • Security, secrets management, or platform reliability background
  • Open source contributions or technical writing
  • Previous AI training data or model evaluation work
Applying via micro1: micro1 screens with an AI interview ("Zara") and pays weekly once placed. Free to apply; most roles are long-running contracts.
