What the job involves

We are seeking a highly experienced Senior Infrastructure Engineer to join our Engineering team
This role will drive the design, automation, and management of our AWS cloud infrastructure
Understanding of scalability, reliability, and security while working with modern DevOps tools such as Terraform, Helm, and Kubernetes
Design, implement, and manage AWS cloud infrastructure for highly available and scalable applications
Automate infrastructure provisioning and management using Terraform
Develop and maintain Helm charts for Kubernetes application deployments
Optimize CI/CD pipelines for infrastructure and application deployments
Monitor system health, troubleshoot performance issues, and improve system reliability
Implement security best practices for cloud infrastructure, including IAM, networking, and encryption
Collaborate with development teams to improve infrastructure automation and efficiency
Support and maintain production and staging environments, ensuring uptime and resilience

Our take

Digital twins – virtual representations of objects or systems that span their whole lifecycles, and are updated from real-time data – allow for simulations and performance reviews of physical objects to be run effectively in the digital world. This reduces the cost, environmental impact, and waste associated with testing projects in the real world.

Istari is a company “building the engineering metaverse”, with its advanced but simple-to-implement digital twin technology. Currently in development, with an open waiting list for early access, its platform will enable teams to design, test, and learn faster – coming to informed decisions much quicker than with physical test environments.

Emerging from stealth in early 2023, with impressive funding to boot, it can be assumed that the company is focussed on pushing forward with product development. Its ultimate aim is to revolutionize the field of digital engineering, to a point where all technology is created, tested, and even certified through modelling and simulation.
