Role Overview

At Symbiose, we build the infrastructure layer to understand and value forests at scale using Earth Observation, AI, and High-Performance Computing (HPC).

Our platform processes large-scale satellite (Sentinel, LiDAR), geospatial, and climate datasets to produce forest growth models, biomass estimations, and climate risk indicators.

We are looking for a Senior DevOps / Platform Engineer to take ownership of the infrastructure powering these systems — across cloud, data pipelines, backend services, and HPC workloads.

This is not a standard DevOps role.

You will operate a data-intensive, geospatial, and compute-heavy platform in production. This is a unique opportunity to work with state-of-the-art stack.

Key Responsibilities

Infrastructure & Cloud

Own and operate infrastructure across AWS and Azure
Design, deploy, and maintain production-grade systems
Manage Infrastructure as Code (Terraform)
Ensure security, IAM, networking, and cost control

Backend & Platform Support

Support production environments across Python, Node.js, and GraphQL services
Ensure reliability of APIs and backend systems
Handle asynchronous workloads and batch processing systems

Data & Geospatial Infrastructure

Design and optimize data pipelines (EO, LiDAR, climate datasets)
Maintain data lake architectures (S3, Parquet, GeoParquet)
Optimize PostgreSQL / PostGIS performance
Support geospatial and raster-heavy workflows (GeoTIFF, COG, MBTiles/PMTiles)

MLOps & Compute Systems

Enable deployment and scaling of ML models (Python, PyTorch)
Support training and inference pipelines
Contribute to model lifecycle and monitoring

HPC & Distributed Workloads

Operate and optimize HPC / distributed compute environments
Handle job orchestration, scheduling, and parallel workloads
Optimize performance, resource allocation, and compute efficiency
Conduct benchmarking and scaling analysis

Observability & Reliability

Implement monitoring, logging, and alerting (Prometheus, Grafana)
Improve fault tolerance and incident response
Ensure reliability of long-running data and compute jobs

Qualifications

5+ years in DevOps / Platform Engineering / Cloud Infrastructure
Strong experience with:
AWS and/or Azure (compute, storage, networking)
Docker (required) and containerized environments
Terraform (or strong IaC experience)
CI/CD pipelines (GitLab CI preferred)
Linux systems and scripting
Experience supporting data-intensive systems or pipelines
Comfortable working with Python and/or Node.js environments
Ability to work on or quickly adapt to HPC and distributed systems
Strong ownership mindset and autonomy

Strong Pluses

Experience with PostgreSQL / PostGIS
Exposure to geospatial systems or EO data
Experience with:
Airflow / workflow orchestration
Spark / PySpark
MLflow or model tracking systems
Ray or distributed compute frameworks
Experience optimizing compute-heavy or batch workloads
Familiarity with GeoParquet, COG, PMTiles or large raster pipelines

Hiring Process

Step 1: 30-minute screening call

Step 2: Technical questions (async)

Step 3: Deep-dive discussion (architecture & systems)

Step 4: Fast onboarding 🚀

Process can be completed within 1–2 weeks
