This is an opportunity to join a greenfield engineering programme where you'll play a key role in shaping a Kubernetes platform built on Microsoft Azure using modern DevOps and Platform Engineering practices. We're looking for someone who doesn't simply implement technical designs created by others. Instead, you'll take ownership of technical implementation decisions, help define engineering best practice and work closely with architects and engineering teams to build a secure, scalable and highly reliable platform that supports a major strategic transformation programme. The Role You'll be responsible for building, operating and continuously improving a shared Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) platform used by application, AI and integration engineering teams. As a senior member of the engineering team, you'll take ownership of technical implementation decisions, champion Infrastructure as Code and modern cloud engineering practices, and help other engineering teams adopt Azure platform best practice. This is a collaborative role requiring excellent communication skills, as you'll regularly work with architects, developers and engineers to influence technical direction and improve engineering capability across the organisation. What You'll Be Doing Build, operate and continually enhance Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) Take ownership of technical implementation decisions and platform engineering best practice Design, build and manage Azure infrastructure using Terraform and Infrastructure as Code Develop and maintain GitOps CI/CD pipelines Manage Kubernetes networking, service mesh and gateway technologies Improve platform observability using Grafana, Prometheus and OpenTelemetry Maintain platform security, resilience and automation Troubleshoot production platform issues and drive continuous improvement Work closely with architects to turn high-level designs into robust technical solutions Support and mentor engineering teams in adopting modern Azure and cloud-native engineering practices What We're Looking For You'll have strong commercial experience with: Microsoft Azure and Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) (essential) Kubernetes platform engineering within production environments Terraform and Infrastructure as Code Docker, GitOps and CI/CD pipelines Linux and Bash scripting Grafana, Prometheus and OpenTelemetry Kubernetes networking and service mesh technologies Production platform operations, troubleshooting and automation You'll also be able to demonstrate: Experience owning technical implementation decisions rather than simply delivering against architectural designs Confidence working independently on complex engineering challenges Excellent communication and stakeholder engagement skills Experience supporting, coaching or influencing engineering teams to adopt modern cloud engineering practices A collaborative approach, working alongside architects while retaining ownership of technical delivery Experience with any of the following would be advantageous: Cilium Istio ArgoCD or Flux Kafka or Redpanda Helm and Kustomize Python automation Policy as Code (OPA/Gatekeeper or Kyverno) What's on Offer Salary up to 61,000 Exceptional pension scheme Excellent annual leave entitlement Hybrid working (2 days per week in London) Opportunity to shape a greenfield cloud-native platform Modern Azure and Kubernetes technology stack Collaborative, high-performing engineering team Long-term strategic programme with excellent career development Who Will Succeed?

Senior Backend Engineer (AI Systems) Remote (United Kingdom) | Permanent | Flexible compensation (DOE), performance bonus + equity We're working with a well-funded, AI-first technology business building systems that go beyond traditional chatbot experiences and execute real-world tasks autonomously. The team is focused on creating AI product systems that can reliably complete meaningful work for users, handling long-running workflows, maintaining context over time, interacting with external tools, and operating consistently in production environments. This is not a pure model development role. The challenge is turning model capability into reliable product behaviour, ensuring AI systems can perform correctly when interacting with real users and live services at scale. The Opportunity This role sits between models and users, owning the systems that power AI behaviour in production. You'll be responsible for building and operating the infrastructure and workflows that allow AI features to execute end-to-end, with a strong focus on reliability, observability, latency, and user experience. Areas of responsibility include: Building production Back End systems that serve AI-powered product features Designing retrieval, inference, and orchestration workflows Developing reliable multi-step AI workflows and agent systems Integrating models with external tools, services, and APIs Monitoring, evaluating, and improving AI behaviour in production Optimising latency, throughput, caching, batching, and streaming Debugging failures across distributed systems and AI workflows Building observable systems with robust monitoring and incident response capabilities What They're Looking For The team is particularly interested in engineers who have experience operating AI systems in production rather than simply integrating model APIs. Examples of relevant experience include: Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) Agentic or multi-step AI workflows Tool calling and workflow orchestration LLM-based applications used by real users Vector databases and semantic search AI evaluation and monitoring frameworks Production observability and reliability engineering Distributed systems and high-throughput services End-to-end ownership of Back End systems in production Technical Environment Python Node.js SQL/NoSQL OpenAI, Anthropic and open-source LLMs Vector databases and retrieval systems DevOps - Docker/ Kubernetes AWS, Azure or GCP Compensation Compensation is intentionally flexible and assessed based on experience, ownership, and production impact.

Full time
Senior Backend Engineer (AI Systems) Remote (United Kingdom) | Permanent | Flexible compensation (DOE), performance bonus + equity We're working with a well-funded, AI-first technology business building systems that go beyond traditional chatbot experiences and execute real-world tasks autonomously. The team is focused on creating AI product systems that can reliably complete meaningful work for users, handling long-running workflows, maintaining context over time, interacting with external tools, and operating consistently in production environments. This is not a pure model development role. The challenge is turning model capability into reliable product behaviour, ensuring AI systems can perform correctly when interacting with real users and live services at scale. The Opportunity This role sits between models and users, owning the systems that power AI behaviour in production. You'll be responsible for building and operating the infrastructure and workflows that allow AI features to execute end-to-end, with a strong focus on reliability, observability, latency, and user experience. Areas of responsibility include: Building production Back End systems that serve AI-powered product features Designing retrieval, inference, and orchestration workflows Developing reliable multi-step AI workflows and agent systems Integrating models with external tools, services, and APIs Monitoring, evaluating, and improving AI behaviour in production Optimising latency, throughput, caching, batching, and streaming Debugging failures across distributed systems and AI workflows Building observable systems with robust monitoring and incident response capabilities What They're Looking For The team is particularly interested in engineers who have experience operating AI systems in production rather than simply integrating model APIs. Examples of relevant experience include: Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) Agentic or multi-step AI workflows Tool calling and workflow orchestration LLM-based applications used by real users Vector databases and semantic search AI evaluation and monitoring frameworks Production observability and reliability engineering Distributed systems and high-throughput services End-to-end ownership of Back End systems in production Technical Environment Python Node.js SQL/NoSQL OpenAI, Anthropic and open-source LLMs Vector databases and retrieval systems DevOps - Docker/ Kubernetes AWS, Azure or GCP Compensation Compensation is intentionally flexible and assessed based on experience, ownership, and production impact.
