Help us decarbonize the cement and concrete industry. alcemy was founded to reduce the massive CO2 footprint of the cement and concrete industry. Concrete is humanity's second most used material by volume and its production is responsible for around 8% of global CO2 emissions.
We are changing this! We leverage machine learning to provide smart production control software to the cement and concrete supply chain to improve efficiency and allow for the production of low-carbon cement and concrete at large scale. Our software is used 24/7 in cement and concrete plants to optimize production and reduce carbon emissions today. We are currently enabling our customers to save more than 100 000 tons of CO2 emissions each year and we aim to save 100 million tons per year in 2030.
What you’d be doing:
- Build, deploy and ship infrastructure for cloud-native software solutions together with our product teams.
- Work closely with other engineers to ensure our AWS-based infrastructure, kubernetes platform, and development processes are top notch.
- Support application developers and ML specialists in their daily work with questions around tooling, deployment, CI/CD, and many others.
- Develop internal solutions and tooling - using Python or Go - to automate and optimize our setup.
- Evaluate our setup and processes to constantly improve it on a number of dimensions like cost, simplicity, and user adoption.
- Design for high security, reliability and availability including logging and monitoring of the environments.
- Mentor and provide guidance to others, fostering knowledge sharing and continuous improvement.
Within the first month, you will…
- Complete our onboarding and get guided through our development and CI/CD process and the details of our cloud infrastructure.
- Upgrade our kubernetes clusters and various components to a newer version, understanding our approach at upgrading.
- Meet the engineering team and learn about their challenges.
- Inevitably learn a lot about cement production or the intricacies of concrete data.
Within three months, you will…
- Develop a solid understanding of our entire platform, especially the kubernetes-based workload scheduler.
- Contribute code to our repositories, for example our Python-based CI helper chatbot.
- Actively participate in short- and long-term planning and shaping of our roadmap.
- Be able to assist other engineers when their applications fail by understanding logs and metrics.
Within six months, you will…
- Take full ownership of our entire infrastructure platform, knowing how to approach any alert or error message that pops up somewhere.
- Improve engineering processes through automation, such that every engineer becomes more efficient.
- Assume a mentor role for other engineers to constantly improve our knowledge.
