Senior Platform Engineer

Micro1 is seeking a Senior Platform Engineer to contribute to the development of next-generation AI systems. In this fully remote role, you will leverage your deep expertise in cloud infrastructure and platform engineering to create complex, real-world scenarios that help train AI models to design, deploy, and secure production-grade systems.

Key responsibilities

• Create realistic cloud infrastructure tasks involving distributed systems, networking, security, scalability, and reliability.
• Build reproducible, containerized environments with valid reference solutions and intentionally defective variants.
• Define measurable requirements across infrastructure configuration, deployed topology, and runtime behavior.
• Develop deterministic integration, load, security, failure-injection, deployment, and recovery tests.
• Debug environments, document technical decisions, and review tasks created by other experts.

Requirements

• Senior-level cloud infrastructure, platform engineering, DevOps, or SRE experience, including personal ownership of a production platform.
• Strong knowledge of distributed systems, scalable APIs, queues, autoscaling, durable storage, and partial-failure scenarios.
• Practical experience with IAM, private networking, least-privilege access, and service-to-service security.
• Experience with observability, measurable SLOs, rolling deployments, rollback strategies, and disaster recovery.
• Ability to write infrastructure automation or testing tools and debug containerized environments using a relevant programming language.

What we offer

• The opportunity to shape the future of AI by applying your domain expertise to model training.
• A fully remote work environment allowing for flexible, output-based task completion.
• Engagement in high-level engineering challenges involving distributed systems and cloud architecture.
