Job Technologies
Your role in the team
- At aurivolt, we are building one of the most ambitious decentralized energy storage networks in Europe. With the jump from 10 pilot nodes to 100 production nodes, the infrastructure becomes complex enough to justify dedicated SRE capacities.
- As a DevOps/SRE, you are responsible for the reliability, scalability, and automation of a decentralized edge network that is expected to grow to up to 1,000 nodes.
- You work closely with the Edge Infra Engineer and bring the automation discipline that is essential for this scaling.
- Infrastructure-as-Code: complete automation of all node deployments with Ansible and Terraform.
- SRE practices: SLO definition, error budget management, structured post-mortems, and incident response.
- Setup and operation of the monitoring stack (Prometheus, Grafana, or comparable) for 100+ geographically distributed nodes.
- Automated Node Onboarding: Zero-Touch from Order to Production Readiness.
- Kubernetes Cluster Management at Scale (OpenNebula + K8s, GitOps Workflow).
- Security hardening and regular security audits of the entire edge infrastructure.
- Capacity planning and cost-optimized resource management across all locations.
