• Responsibilities include provisioning and managing cloud infrastructure, deploying software products securely, setting up security measures for client data, automating routine tasks, and developing tools to improve system efficiency.

• Experience with monitoring tools (ELK, Prometheus, Grafana) and Python environment management (venv, conda, uv) is necessary.
• Knowledge of data workflow management (Snakemake) and distributed computing on HPCs (SLURM) is a plus.
• Effective asynchronous communication skills and the ability to work independently are essential.
• Fluency in English is required, and experience in a startup or the energy sector is a bonus.
