QRT’s culture of innovation continuously drives our ambition to deliver high quality returns for our investors.
Your future role within QRT
- Provide first- and second-line support for LLM gateway platform, investigating and resolving issues raised by engineering and business users across the firm
- Monitor and maintain the platform's underlying infrastructure to ensure availability, stability and predictable performance under rapidly growing load
- Support and troubleshoot model-serving backends and provider integrations, model providers, covering latency, throughput, error-rate and capacity issues
- Triage incidents affecting model availability — provider instability, connection resets, timeouts, regional slowness — determine whether the cause is platform-side or upstream, and drive to resolution with vendors where required
- Support the tooling layer built on top of LLM gateway: integrations, developer workspaces (e.g. Coder), coding assistants and API clients, including diagnosing issues introduced by upstream vendor releases running against a gateway-fronted API
- Coordinate with platform engineering, cloud infrastructure and end-user teams to resolve incidents and minimise disruption
- Support release management and change processes to keep production stable, including staged rollouts, non-prod validation and rollback
- Build tooling and automation to improve monitoring, diagnostics and operational visibility, and to reduce repetitive manual work
- Contribute to the design and implementation of monitoring, dashboards and alerting — for example extending Grafana dashboards covering TTFT, TPOT, percentile latency and failure-rate reporting
- Own and improve operational documentation, runbooks and user-facing status communication
Your present skillset
- Experience in a production support, SRE or platform operations role within a fast-paced environment, with strong ownership of issue resolution end to end
- Strong Linux and Windows system administration skills
- Proficiency scripting and automating in Python, Bash and/or PowerShell
- Solid experience with relational databases such as PostgreSQL or SQL Server, including writing queries for investigation and supporting routine operational processes
- Practical understanding of monitoring and observability: metrics, logs, traces, dashboards and alerting, and the ability to analyse system data to distinguish a platform-wide problem from a localised one
- Comfortable debugging distributed, API-driven services: HTTP status and error semantics, timeouts, retries, connection resets, rate limiting, caching and latency percentiles
- Familiarity with large language model concepts and hosting environments — inference APIs, model gateways/proxies, prompt and context handling, token accounting, streaming responses, prompt caching
- Exposure to public cloud, ideally AWS (Bedrock, networking, IAM, logging/metrics), and to containerised or Kubernetes-based workloads
- Ability to communicate clearly with both engineers and non-technical users, and to manage expectations of senior stakeholders during live incidents
- Awareness of data-sensitivity and access-control considerations when routing workloads to third-party model providers
Beneficial
- Experience supporting developer tooling and AI coding assistants (e.g. Claude Code, OpenCode) or IDE/workspace platforms
- Experience with Grafana, Prometheus or equivalent observability stacks, including building dashboards and alert rules
- Experience with CI/CD and infrastructure-as-code (Terraform, Ansible, or similar)
- Experience operating multi-region services and troubleshooting region-specific performance issues (e.g. APAC latency)
- Experience acting as the operational interface to third-party vendors and cloud providers during degradations
