Sovereign Engineering Platform SRE (DevOps Engineer) (mfd)

Design build and operate the secure infrastructure foundation used by Meridian engineering teams for AI-assisted software development model experimentation repository analysis CI/CD execution and controlled handover work in isolated or sovereignty-sensitive environments.

This infrastructure and operations role centers on Kubernetes-based engineering platforms GitOps private registries internal model endpoints observability access control and reliable operations for AI-enabled SDLC workloads. The candidate should enable engineering velocity while preserving security auditability and operational discipline

WHAT WILL YOU DO

• Build and operate Kubernetes environments that host AI engineering tools internal model gateways retrieval components workflow services CI/CD runners and documentation services
• Implement GitOps and Infrastructure as Code patterns for reproducible provisioning configuration policy enforcement platform upgrades and disaster recovery readiness
• Manage private registries package mirrors secrets identity integration network segmentation storage classes backup routines and controlled connectivity models
• Provide observability for engineering workloads including metrics logs traces GPU and CPU utilization service health cost signals and operational runbooks
• Work with software security and architecture teams to ensure the platform supports AI-assisted SDLC workflows without creating uncontrolled data exposure or audit gaps
  Examples of market tools models and platform components expected
• Platform tooling such as Kubernetes Helm Terraform Ansible ArgoCD Crossplane GitLab runners Jenkins agents private registries and internal package mirrors.
• AI platform components such as vLLM Ollama OpenAI-compatible gateways Qdrant or similar vector stores Open WebUI Continue-compatible endpoints and workflow services.
• Observability and operations stacks such as Prometheus Grafana Loki OpenTelemetry ELK/OpenSearch Alertmanager SRE runbooks and incident management tooling.
• Security and governance components such as Vault Keycloak network policies RBAC admission controls image scanning SBOM tooling and audit logging.
• Infrastructure awareness covering GPU-backed nodes CPU-only fallback storage performance network isolation proxy patterns on-premise environments and dedicated landing zones.

Qualifications :

YOU WILL SUCCEED IF YOU HAVE:

• 5 years in SRE platform engineering DevOps cloud infrastructure or operations roles with strong Kubernetes and Linux expertise.
• Proven experience building and operating production-grade engineering platforms with GitOps Infrastructure as Code observability and operational runbooks.
• Hands-on skills in Terraform Ansible Helm Python or shell scripting CI/CD runners private registries and secure configuration management.
• Good understanding of networking storage secrets access control monitoring backup disaster recovery and operational hardening in high-security environments.
• Comfortable supporting AI-enabled engineering workloads in sovereignty-driven contexts where isolation controlled data handling reliability and auditability are mandatory.
