Fervo Energy

Build and operate shared Azure infrastructure and self-service tooling to improve developer productivity while embedding security and compliance standards. | Bachelor's degree and 3–6+ years in software or platform engineering with proficiency in infrastructure as code, CI/CD, and security-first system design. | Description The Platform Engineer is responsible for building, operating, and improving the shared infrastructure and tooling that Fervo's internal teams use to deliver software. This role focuses on delivering reliable, secure, and well-documented platform services. This individual will work closely with engineering teams across the organization, cybersecurity partners, and the team that owns Fervo's governed Azure environment to build platform capabilities that teams adopt because they make delivery faster. Success in this role requires strong hands-on cloud and automation expertise and the ability to turn shared platform needs into self-service capabilities. Requirements Responsibilities Platform Hosting & Provisioning Build and operate shared Azure infrastructure for teams to consume, including hosting with Container Apps, private networking, managed identity, OIDC trust federation, and secrets-free CI/CD pipelines within the organization’s governed Azure environment. Develop and maintain self-service and auto-provisioning tooling so teams can quickly go from a new repository to a live, governed, service. Shared Platform Services Build and operate the core, shared infrastructure that teams would otherwise rebuild for every project. Examples include an API gateway, a service catalog, and service discovery, reducing the cognitive load and time teams spend on undifferentiated work. Enable core capabilities to be discoverable and consumable by both engineers and AI agents. Security & Compliance Embed security from day one: private ingress, least-privilege IAM, and security scanning. Maintain audit trails aligned to NERC CIP, OCED, and SOX ITGC requirements. Adoption & Measurement Work directly with teams across the organization to understand what they're building, identify where the platform is creating friction, and iterate on it. Track time-to-deploy, adoption, cost attribution, and code review patterns, treating them as feedback signals, not reporting artifacts. Qualifications Required Bachelor’s degree in computer science (or equivalent experience). 3–6+ years of experience in software development, platform engineering, or cloud engineering. Writing and deploying infrastructure as code in an automated manner. Experience with CI/CD pipelines and secrets-free authentication patterns (OIDC, managed identity, workload identity federation). Able to design systems with a security-first mindset: private ingress, least-privilege IAM, no long-lived credentials. Writing and consuming APIs. Leveraging AI Tools such as Claude Code to enhance productivity. Strong written and verbal communication. Preferred Experience with Model Context Protocol. Familiarity with platform engineering principles: internal developer platforms, golden paths, service catalogs. Experience building developer-facing tooling: scaffolders, CLI tools, bootstrappers. Familiarity with compliance frameworks relevant to energy infrastructure: NERC CIP, OCED, SOX ITGC. Event driven architecture.

Build, automate, and operate Azure-native cloud platform using infrastructure as code and GitOps workflows. | 8+ years infrastructure experience with 6+ years cloud engineering and automation, proficient in Terraform, Bicep, Python, PowerShell, and GitHub CI/CD pipelines. | Description The Senior Cloud Engineer builds, automates, and operates Fervo’s Azure-native cloud platform, turning architectural designs into repeatable, well-governed infrastructure. The role centers on infrastructure as code, GitHub-based delivery, self-service platform capabilities, and automated configuration of Linux and Windows systems. Success requires hands-on engineering, demonstrated coding ability, and the discipline to manage infrastructure through version-controlled, peer-reviewed practices rather than manual change. Requirements Responsibilities Infrastructure as Code & Delivery Build and maintain infrastructure as code (Terraform and/or Bicep) and reusable modules to provision Azure resources consistently across environments and sites Build CI/CD pipelines in GitHub Actions and enforce GitOps workflows where changes flow through version control, pull requests, and peer review Platform Engineering & Self-Service Build and iterate golden paths and self-service capabilities, with guardrails codified as policy to keep provisioning within security, cost, and tagging standards Document platform capabilities so internal teams can consume them without one-to-one engineering support Systems Configuration & Fleet Management Manage Linux and Windows configuration through automation—Ansible and SUSE Manager (or equivalent) for Linux; Microsoft Intune and/or Group Policy for Windows—rather than manual, host-by-host changes Maintain baseline images and standards so new hosts, including field and edge compute, are provisioned in a known, compliant state Operations, Security & Compliance Operate Azure landing zones and platform services within an Entra ID / Zero Trust model, with observability across monitoring, logging, alerting, and cost Ensure changes flow through auditable pipelines supporting SOX ITGC, and apply NERC CIP-aligned controls where platform components support in-scope systems Qualifications Required Bachelor’s degree in computer science, engineering, or related field (or equivalent experience) 8 years in infrastructure support or engineering with demonstrated progression 6+ years in cloud engineering, infrastructure automation, or platform engineering Production experience with infrastructure as code (Terraform and/or Bicep), including reusable modules and state management Hands-on experience with Git/GitHub and GitHub Actions for CI/CD or similar product Demonstrated coding ability in Python and/or PowerShell, evidenced by repositories or work samples Experience managing both Linux and Windows systems through automation (e.g., Ansible, Microsoft Intune and/or Group Policy) Preferred Platform engineering experience: internal developer platforms, golden paths, and self-service provisioning Google Cloud Platform (GCP) experience; Azure remains the primary platform SUSE Manager (or equivalent, such as Red Hat Satellite) and Microsoft Intune at scale Policy-as-code (Azure Policy, Open Policy Agent) and secrets management (Azure Key Vault, HashiCorp Vault) Regulated-sector experience and familiarity with NIST CSF, ISO 27001, or NERC CIP Certifications such as Azure Administrator Associate (AZ-104), Azure DevOps Engineer Expert (AZ-400), or HashiCorp Terraform Associate
