DevOps Engineer

Overview
A model will hand you a pipeline and an infrastructure change that apply cleanly and quietly leave a security group open to the world, a state file that will corrupt on the next run, and a rollback path that does not exist. In production those mistakes page someone at 3am. Reasoning about the whole system is the job.
As a DevOps Engineer you'll evaluate how models handle CI/CD, infrastructure-as-code, and cloud operations, expose where their automation breaks, and write the answers a strong platform engineer would trust.
What you’ll actually do

• Probe infrastructure reasoning across CI/CD, infrastructure-as-code, containers, and cloud config, and see where the model's automation falls apart.

• Find the failures that matter : insecure defaults, broken state, missing rollbacks, and changes that pass CI and break prod.

- Write the correct approach when the model falls short, with failure modes and recovery made explicit.
