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
