- Codifying infrastructure as code (Terraform), building modular, secure, and reproducible configurations that support flexible deployment scenarios, including bring-your-own VPC, custom networking, and varied customer setups.
- Managing and evolving the deployment stack, including Kubernetes and Helm-based deployments of the Unstructured AI application, and supporting components such as databases, secrets, and user authentication and SSO.
- Set up and maintaining monitoring, alerting, and observability systems (e.g. Datadog, Prometheus, Grafana) to ensure operational visibility and proactive incident detection.
- Participating in incident response and troubleshooting for customer-deployed environments, using observability data to diagnose and resolve issues quickly.
- Collaborating with the application team to implement python code and configuration changes supporting evolving infrastructure, authentication, and deployment patterns.
- Building tools and services to automate product updates, simplifying upgrades and ongoing maintenance of the Unstructured AI application..
- Working closely with product and field engineering teams to ensure reliable, scalable, and easily deployable infrastructure for every customer.
You are
- Someone who takes pride in designing clean, modular infrastructure that scales across clouds and deployment models.
- Comfortable working at the intersection of application and infrastructure, ensuring the Unstructured AI product runs smoothly and efficiently.
- Someone who thinks in automation and maintainability, building systems that are resilient, secure, and easy to operate.
- Actively taking ownership in rapidly evolving environments, adapting infrastructure and deployments as the Unstructured AI product grows and changes.
- Someone who prioritizes observability, reliability, and performance as integral parts of product delivery.
- Experienced in collaborating effectively with engineers across domains to deliver robust, production-ready systems.
You have
- 2+ years of engineering or technical experience with strong exposure to infrastructure, cloud, or platform work.
- Strong experience with Terraform or similar infrastructure-as-code tools and modular deployment best practices.
- Good understanding of Kubernetes, Helm, and container orchestration.
- Experience deploying and managing workloads in at least one major cloud platform (AWS, GCP, or Azure).
- python application code experience to align infrastructure and deployment patterns.
- Familiarity with networking, IAM, and security configurations, including VPC design and private networking.
- Experience with deployment automation and CI/CD pipelines, including container image management (ECR, GCR, ACR).
- Hands-on experience with monitoring, observability, and incident response, debugging distributed systems using tools like Datadog, Prometheus, or Grafana.
- A background in DevOps, SRE, or platform engineering for complex, customer-deployed applications.
- A bachelor’s degree or equivalent related working experience is required.
- You must have work authorization to work in Brussels.
Measures of Success
- Within your first month, you’ll understand the Unstructured AI deployment architecture across clouds and begin contributing small improvements to Terraform and Helm configurations.
- Within your third month, you’ll lead enhancements that improve the reliability, visibility, and maintainability of customer deployments across different environments.
