Description
The Role We're hiring a hands-on Technical Lead to take our AI-driven data centre infrastructure platform from prototype to production. This isn't a maintenance role, you'll architect, build, deploy, and scale the backend, own critical infrastructure decisions, and stay hands-on in implementation. Startup pace, high ownership, wearing multiple hats. Key Responsibilities Own platform architecture and lead the transition from prototype to production-grade deployment Design and run cloud infrastructure, CI/CD, and DevOps automation for reliable operations Build and maintain backend systems, APIs, orchestration services, and operational tooling Translate thermal, power, and closed-loop control requirements into platform architecture (no direct OT/industrial-systems engineering required) Support optimization and ML systems involving multi-objective decision-making Set the bar for security, uptime, observability, and incident response Give realistic estimates and flag risks or scope changes early, not after they've become a problem As we grow: mentor, weigh in on hiring, and help set technical standards
