Junior DevOps Engineer

We’re looking for a curious and motivated Junior DevOps Engineer to support our infrastructure, automation, and security efforts as we scale our GPU and AI intelligence platform.

Who we are

We are SiliconData – a company building trusted tools for the GPU economy, from historical pricing data to performance benchmarking and certification. You can learn more at https://www.silicondata.com. Our product suite includes GPU Index suites, SiliconMark (GPU performance benchmarking and certification), and the RAM Index. You’ll work directly with our DevOps lead on the foundational infrastructure that powers these platforms — touching everything from Terraform modules to CI/CD pipelines to cloud security posture.

What You’ll Do

• Write, review, and refactor Terraform modules to manage AWS infrastructure as code across our environments.
• Help maintain and improve CI/CD pipelines in GitHub Actions, including build, test, and deployment workflows.
• Assist with provisioning, monitoring, and operating services in AWS (ECS/Fargate, S3, Lambda, IAM, VPC, CloudWatch).
• Contribute to automation projects that reduce manual toil — scripting routine operational tasks, building internal tooling, and improving developer experience.
• Support security hygiene work: IAM policy reviews, secret rotation, dependency vulnerability scanning, log auditing, and following up on findings.
• Help triage and respond to infrastructure alerts and incidents under the guidance of senior engineers.
• Document infrastructure, runbooks, and processes so the team’s operational knowledge is shared and accessible.
• Participate in code reviews and learn production engineering practices through hands-on work alongside senior engineers.

What We’re Looking For

• Some hands-on exposure to Terraform, AWS, and GitHub (Actions, pull request workflows) — either through coursework, personal projects, internships, or prior part-time work.

• Working knowledge of Linux fundamentals and the command line.

• Comfort with at least one scripting language (Python, Bash, or similar).

• Genuine interest in infrastructure, automation, and security — and the ability to articulate why these areas interest you.
• A self-starter mindset: when given a task with some ambiguity, you’ll dig in, read documentation, try things, and come back with options rather than waiting for step-by-step instructions.
• Strong written communication skills and willingness to document your work clearly.

• Ability to work effectively in an async, remote environment.

Nice to Have

• Familiarity with Docker and containerized deployments. 

  Exposure to monitoring/observability tooling (CloudWatch, Datadog, Grafana, Prometheus).
• Awareness of common cloud security concepts (least privilege, IAM best practices, secrets management).
• Any prior experience with incident response, on-call rotations, or production systems.
• Familiarity with GitOps patterns or infrastructure testing tools (e.g., Terratest, tflint, Checkov).
• A GitHub profile, personal projects, or open-source contributions we can look at.

Logistics

• Remote, offshore engagement (corp-to-corp).

• Opportunity to learn modern DevOps practices on a real production platform supporting cutting-edge GPU and AI intelligence products, with direct mentorship from the DevOps lead.
