Phaidra is a company providing artificial intelligence controls to optimize mission-critical facilities such as data centers and industrial plants. Their closed-loop AI control service enhances plant stability, energy efficiency, and sustainability by reducing downtime, increasing productivity, and lowering CO2 emissions. Unlike traditional control systems, Phaidra's AI-driven controls continuously learn and improve over time without the need for new hardware. The system provides real-time optimization and integrates with existing control systems, enhancing safety and operational stability while providing full transparency of performance data. Phaidra uses cutting-edge deep reinforcement learning techniques to deliver exceptional results in some of the world's toughest challenges, including significant energy savings in Google's data centers.

📋 Description

• Own the delivery of a scoped set of developer platform capabilities end-to-end (design, implementation, rollout, iteration). • Build and evolve paved roads (golden paths, service templates, scaffolding) that make it easy to deploy, operate, and scale services. • Run tight feedback loops with engineers across product and ML teams; measure adoption and eliminate common friction points. • Drive improvements to GitOps workflows via ArgoCD and Terraform automation via Atlantis. • Harden CI/CD on GitLab CI, including pipeline performance, safety, and developer ergonomics. • Design progressive delivery patterns (canary, blue/green) as reusable platform primitives. • Contribute to SLI/SLO frameworks and shared observability primitives (Prometheus, Grafana, Loki, Tempo, OpenTelemetry). • Participate in the platform team's on-call rotation; reduce toil through automation and better system design. • Improve incident response and postmortem practice so learnings translate into systemic fixes. • Embed secure-by-default patterns into platform templates (secrets, IAM, RBAC, NetworkPolicies). • Partner with security on compliance posture (SOC 2, ISO 27001) without slowing delivery. • Partner with infrastructure/SRE owners on Kubernetes and core cloud foundations (networking, storage, cluster/platform primitives) where it directly improves developer workflows. • Evolve cloud-native abstractions so the platform remains portable and resilient as our footprint grows (GCP today, with future optionality across providers).

🎯 Requirements

• 5+ years of professional experience in platform engineering, infrastructure engineering, or SRE • Production experience operating in at least one major cloud (GCP, AWS, or Azure) • GitOps fluency with production experience (ArgoCD, Flux, or equivalent), including rollout, drift detection, and recovery patterns • Experience building or operating key components of an internal developer platform (e.g., self-service deployment/operations workflows, golden paths/service templates, developer portals, platform APIs, or developer tooling) • Infrastructure-as-code experience: Terraform plus a configuration system (Kapitan, Helm, Kustomize, or similar) • Software engineering experience in a major high level language. Comfortable writing libraries, CLIs or APIs. • Demonstrated ability to lead technical initiatives across multiple teams.

🏖️ Benefits

• Fast-paced, team-oriented environment where your work directly shapes the company’s direction. • We are a 100% remote company. • Competitive compensation & meaningful equity. • Outsized responsibilities & professional development. • Training is foundational; functional, customer immersion, and development training. • Medical, dental, and vision insurance (exact benefits vary by region). • Unlimited paid time off, with a required minimum of 20 days per year. • Paid parental leave (exact benefits vary by region). • Flexible stipends to support your workspace, well-being, and continued professional development. • Company MacBook.
