株式会社天地人のfixed-term project engagement｜Cloud Engineerの求人

[ ABOUT TENCHIJIN ]
Tenchijin Inc. is a Tokyo-headquartered space-tech company and JAXA (Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency) certified venture. Through its land-evaluation and analytics platform, Tenchijin COMPASS, the company fuses earth-observation satellite data, geospatial and environmental layers, IoT and ground-sensor feeds, and clients' operational data with proprietary AI to deliver multimodal analytics for utilities and infrastructure enterprises. Tenchijin's flagship water-infrastructure solution, KnoWaterleak, assesses pipeline deterioration and leak risk from space-derived insights and is used by a growing number of water utilities to prioritize inspection and investment, reduce non-revenue water, and extend asset life.

[ ABOUT THE PROJECT ]
The Global South Project is an 18-month initiative (October 2026 – March 2028) to design, build, and deploy a scalable, secure, AI-ready analytics platform tailored to utilities and infrastructure operators across Global South markets. The project adapts Tenchijin's satellite-data and GeoAI capabilities to regions facing aging or rapidly expanding infrastructure, constrained budgets, and limited field-inspection capacity — delivering risk assessment and decision-support tools that improve infrastructure management workflows. All positions are contract-based and fully remote, operating as one distributed, cross-border team with English as the working language.

[ ROLE SUMMARY ]
As a Cloud Engineer you will provision, configure, and operate the cloud resources that power the platform — and automate yourself out of every manual task. You will implement the architecture defined by the Senior Cloud Architect using infrastructure as code, and build the monitoring that keeps a multi-tenant, multi-region platform observable and healthy.

[ Reports To ]
Cloud Operations Manager / Senior DevOps Manager
[ Project Language ]
English (professional working proficiency or higher required)

[ KEY RESPONSIBILITIES ]

• Provision and configure cloud resources (compute, storage, networking, databases, Kubernetes clusters) across environments using infrastructure as code.
• Fully automate infrastructure deployment: no manually created production resources; everything reproducible from version-controlled code.
• Implement and maintain system monitoring, alerting, and dashboards for infrastructure health, capacity, and cost.
• Support multi-tenant onboarding: provisioning tenant environments, quotas, and access controls per the platform's isolation model.
• Execute patching, upgrades, and backup/restore procedures; validate disaster-recovery runbooks.
• Respond to infrastructure incidents within the on-call rotation; contribute to post-incident improvements.
• Implement cost-optimization measures directed by the Cloud Operations Manager (right-sizing, lifecycle policies, scheduling).
• Document infrastructure configurations and operational runbooks.

[ WHAT WE OFFER ]

• A central role in applying satellite data and AI to real infrastructure challenges, with measurable social and environmental impact in Global South markets.
• Fully remote, cross-border collaboration with senior specialists across cloud, GeoAI, product, and design.
• Competitive contractor compensation commensurate with experience and scope.
• Direct exposure to earth-observation technology, including data ecosystems built with Japan's space agency (JAXA).
