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
