<p>Firmus runs large-scale, state-of-the-art AI infrastructure built on the latest generation of GPU rack-scale systems and operated as one estate to power the next generation of AI innovation. The Platform Reliability Engineer is part of the team that operates the platform services Firmus AI Cloud runs on in production: the GPU compute fleet, exabyte-scale storage, the multi-tenant control and management plane, and the virtualisation and shared services that host it. Together, these are the foundation every customer workload depends on.</p>
<p>This is a hands-on site reliability engineering role that works across the stack, from Linux and Kubernetes to storage, virtualisation and the compute fleet. The team runs each service to a declared service level, measures reliability against it, and treats operations as a software problem, engineering repetitive manual work out of the system rather than absorbing it. The role picks up incidents escalated from first response, owns each one through to resolution, and works across teams and vendors to restore service, bringing in specialist engineers when a fault needs deeper investigation. Automation is a first-class part of the role: faults are diagnosed using the observability stack, post-incident reviews feed fixes back into the platform, and every resolved fault is a candidate for a runbook or an automated fix.</p>
