Role: DevOps / Backend Engineer
Type: Contract | Remote | 20–40 hrs/week | 8–16 weeks
Pay: $25–$40/hr
About the Role
We're building a new AI training initiative that requires real-world engineering experience. You’ll help design and document authentic DevOps + backend scenarios based on incidents you’ve handled—outages, scaling issues, secure deployments, distributed systems challenges, and more. Your experience will directly train next-generation AI systems.
What You’ll Do
- Capture real DevOps + backend incidents and convert them into benchmark tasks
- Contribute to secure, scalable, Kubernetes-native architectures
- Work across CI/CD, observability, identity, infrastructure-as-code, and backend services
- Collaborate with our team to build realistic engineering workflows
Required Experience (3–5 years)
Strong hands-on experience in DevOps and/or Backend Engineering, including:
- Kubernetes, Terraform, CI/CD (GitLab CI preferred)
- Go / Python / Java, Docker, gRPC, Kubernetes-native services
- Experience with secure, offline/air-gapped deployments (big plus)
- Familiarity with at least five of the following:
- Identity & Access Management
- Observability (Prometheus + Grafana)
- CI/CD Pipelines
- Keycloak
- GitLab CI
- Terraform OSS
- Kubernetes tools & ecosystem
- ML/Distributed pipelines (nice to have)
What We Offer
- $25–$40/hr
- Remote, flexible schedule
- 20–40 hrs/week for 8–16 weeks
- Work that values real engineering experience, not runbook tasks
