Build the backbone of our EnergyTech platform - and make production-grade your standard, not your stretch goal.

We’re looking for a Platform Engineer who sees infrastructure as a product. Someone who doesn’t just click around in a cloud portal, but designs, automates, and improves the Azure ecosystem behind it. You’ll help us run rock-solid AKS clusters, ship predictably through GitOps, and create a developer experience that actually works in a fast-paced trading environment.
You’ll join a company that thrives on automation, autonomy, and bold bets. We call it EnergyTech – and the platform is where it all begins.
 

What you’ll do

  • You’ll design, provision, and manage our Azure infrastructure using Infrastructure as Code – primarily OpenTofu and Terragrunt
  • You’ll build and maintain production-grade AKS clusters that are secure, scalable, and boringly stable (the best kind)
  • You’ll bridge the gap between “it works on my machine” and “it works in production” using GitHub Actions and ArgoCD
  • You’ll maintain and evolve our observability stack with OpenTelemetry, Prometheus, and Grafana – because proactive alerts beat panicked Slack messages
  • You’ll implement security best practices like workload identity, secret management, and network policies to keep our platform locked down and efficient
  • You’ll participate in incident response and root cause analysis – and turn learnings into long-term improvements
  • You’ll evaluate new Azure features and open-source tools to optimize performance, reliability, and cloud spend
  • You’ll collaborate closely with developers to refine workflows and help them ship faster and safer

     

Your Team

You’ll join our tech community working at the core of our trading infrastructure. We’re a group of engineers who care about reliability, performance, and clean solutions.

We work with autonomy and accountability. That means you’ll have real ownership from day one – and colleagues ready to challenge your thinking, share knowledge, and raise the bar together. Decisions are decentralized, feedback loops are short, and ideas move fast.
 

What you bring

  • You’ve spent 5–8 years working in DevOps or Platform Engineering, building and running production environments
  • You’ve operated Kubernetes in production – ideally AKS – and understand what it takes to keep clusters healthy
  • You write reusable Infrastructure as Code and treat automation as the default
  • You’re comfortable scripting in Python or Bash to remove repetitive manual tasks
  • You’ve worked with CI/CD pipelines and GitOps setups in real-world environments
  • You think about cost optimization and rightsizing as part of good engineering – not an afterthought

     

How you work

  • You take ownership and treat production systems with respect
  • You’re analytical and calm under pressure – especially when incidents hit
  • You challenge the status quo and look for smarter, simpler solutions
  • You collaborate openly and believe the best platforms are built together
  • You’re curious about new technologies and motivated to keep evolving your craft
     

What you can expect from us

You’ll join with a steep learning curve supported by a thorough onboarding program that sets you up for success from day one. From there, you’ll enjoy a high level of autonomy, working alongside exceptional colleagues who are bold, honest, ambitious, and among the smartest in their fields. Our culture is unique—we live our values of Honesty, Transparency, and Rethink, and we do it without rigid hierarchies or dress codes. Along the way, you’ll take part in great events, both within your team and across the organization, and you’ll have the chance to grow on both a professional and personal level.

We’re InCommodities North America – and we’re building the full energy trading value chain across US power and gas.

We’ve been trading power in US markets since 2020. Now we’re scaling up – expanding into gas, growing our local teams, and opening new offices across the US.

What sets us apart is our EnergyTech edge. We combine deep market expertise with advanced technology, quantitative models, and a data-driven mindset to trade smarter, faster, and at scale. That’s how we move energy where it’s needed, 24/7/365 – and why we attract ambitious people who want to rethink the future of energy trading.

Our culture is simple: entrepreneurial, flat, and hands-on. You’ll get autonomy and trust from day one – and the responsibility to make an impact. We value initiative over titles, thrive in change, and back each other in building one of the most ambitious energy trading companies in North America - with the strength of a global platform behind us.

A people-first culture

At InCommodities, we win as a team. You’ll work alongside bold, honest, and ambitious people who challenge each other to grow – and get better every day.
Autonomy is real here, and it comes with trust. You’re expected to take ownership and make decisions that move InCommodities forward. Not by asking for permission, but by working with the right people to get it right. You’ve got freedom – and a strong team to back you up.
We care about personal and cultural fit. Not because we expect everyone to be the same, but because we’re building a place where people genuinely enjoy working – and want to stick around.
Expect a casual vibe. We keep a flat hierarchy, no dress code, and no corporate red tape to slow you down. Just trust, teamwork, and a healthy dose of fun along the way. And yes, we like to hang out outside office hours as well.
