AI Devops Engineer

Scorched Nebraska

We’re building a next-generation simulation platform at the intersection of real-time systems, distributed infrastructure, and interactive environments. The system dynamically provisions and manages infrastructure for a live runtime (VMs, agents, WebSockets). 

We’re looking for someone who doesn’t separate development from operations responsible for keeping the system reliable in production, building installers, automating provisioning, and debugging issues across machines, networking, and services. This is hands-on, low-level work (Linux, networking, NGINX), without relying on managed platforms.

Responsibilities

• provision and manage VM lifecycle (DigitalOcean API, NVIDIA Thor, Unix)

• develop and maintain installers (machine bootstrap, service setup)

• configure and debug NGINX (TLS, routing, WebSockets)

• manage DNS and certificates

• monitor system state (health checks, agent status, free capacity)

• debug production issues (VMs, networking, processes)

• automate operations (scaling, recovery, cleanup)

Requirements

• very strong Linux / Unix (must-have)

• experience running production systems

• solid networking knowledge (DNS, TLS, proxies, routing)

• scripting (bash / Python)

• ability to diagnose infrastructure-level issues
