Our mission is to revolutionize digital labor by developing and deploying the latest conversational artificial intelligence (AI), natural language processing (NLP) and speech technologies in IBM’s industry-leading platform watsonx.
We believe in open architectures and open standards, and we run our cutting-edge AI on every cloud. We live and breathe Linux, Kubernetes and RedHat OpenShift. We strive to create the most portable, scalable, and performant AI infrastructure. If you share our passion, and you have experience with managing Linux systems in IBM Cloud, Amazon Web Services (AWS), Google Cloud Platform (GCP), or Microsoft Azure, please get in touch with us!
Your role and responsibilities
This position is for a DevOps and automation engineer in IBM’s watsonx Orchestrate platform team. Your primary responsibility will be the implementation, maintenance, and DevOps for various platform components.
Your responsibilities will span the entire lifecycle of multiple microservices, from technical design, development, testing to deployment and operations. Also, you may need to participate in customer calls and help the support team address technical issues.
You will be part of a small agile team, but you will interact with multiple other disciplines including Site Reliability Engineers (SRE) and engineering teams around the world to deliver secure and distributed microservices to various cloud environments. You will participate in release cycles of watsonx Orchestrate, deploying code to integration, staging, and production environments. You will need to be an expert in working with continuous integration (CI) and continuous delivery (CD) tools, monitoring, and change management applications.
You must have a passion for examining how things work internally and excellent collaboration skills, since you will devise solutions to challenging problems in complex distributed systems with various teams.
Above all, we are looking for team members with a keen sense of ownership, resilience, and drive. If you like dynamic projects and enjoy being challenged, if you can make progress when faced with complex technical problems, if you enjoy moving fast (and you are not afraid of making a mistake or two on the way), then we are the perfect team for you!
