Senior Software Engineer, Platform Engineering

IREN is a vertically integrated AI Cloud provider, delivering large-scale data centers and GPU clusters for AI training and inference. IREN ’s platform is underpinned by its expansive portfolio of grid-connected land and power in renewable-rich regions across North America, Europe and APAC.

With 100% renewable energy, we build, own and operate our data centers and take pride in being at the forefront of sustainable solutions for the ever-evolving applications of high-performance compute.

We believe that human progress is invaluable, but it should be done in the right way: responsibly, sustainably and having a positive impact on the communities we operate in. Platform Engineering builds what the rest of IREN builds on.

We own data engineering, automation, developer tooling, AI enablement, and product engineering, the systems that turn a fleet of data centers and GPU clusters into a platform our customers and our own teams can move quickly on.

Much of it is being built now, for the first time, so there is no legacy stack to maintain and no established playbook to follow. We are hiring senior software engineers across Platform Engineering. This is an individual contributor role.

Seniority here is measured by the scope of what you own and by how much better the engineers around you get, not by how many people report to you. At this level you own the design of whole systems, including the parts that cross team boundaries and the parts you will not build yourself.

The part of the role we weight most heavily is what you do for the engineers around you. We expect you to raise the standard of the people you work with, through design review and code review that teach rather than correct, through pairing, and through handing hard problems to engineers who are ready to stretch.

We look for evidence of this during the interview, and we continue to assess it after you join. Because Platform Engineering builds for other teams, the boundaries matter as much as the internals. You wi
