Job Description
DevOps / Cloud Infrastructure Engineer

Up to £100k + benefits Hybrid (London or Cambridge, 3 days per week)

I'm currently working with a fast-growing AI-driven technology company that is scaling its infrastructure team. They're looking to hire an experienced DevOps / Cloud Infrastructure Engineer to join a six-person team and help build out their Kubernetes and cloud environment.

The Role

This role is very much hands-on and focused on building rather than just maintaining infrastructure. You'll be:

  • Delivering medium-sized projects around scaling and infrastructure components.
  • Migrating parts of the existing stack into Kubernetes (EKS on AWS).
  • Solving complex scaling and pipeline issues as they arise.
  • Supporting wider engineering teams - product, security, R&D, and AI - by building the foundations they rely on.
  • Bringing depth of Kubernetes/EKS knowledge to help the team overcome technical barriers.
  • Contributing ideas and helping raise capability across the team.
  • Taking part in an out-of-hours escalation rota.
Tech Environment
  • Core: Kubernetes (EKS on AWS), Karpenter, Prometheus, Terraform.
  • Preferred: Service mesh (Cilium or similar), Flux/Argo, Ansible.
  • Bonus: High-performance compute/GPUs in Kubernetes.
What They're Looking For
  • 5-10 years' hands-on Kubernetes (EKS on AWS) experience - ABSOLUTE MUST
  • Strong skills with Terraform, Prometheus, and scaling infra.
  • Collaborative and adaptable in a fast-paced environment where priorities shift quickly.
  • Ability to solve technical challenges and mentor others through example.
Culture

The environment is fast-moving, with priorities that change quickly in line with business needs. It's collaborative, technical, and high-output - you'll be working with some of the best engineers in the business, in a team where everyone's input is valued.

Location & Working Model
  • Hybrid: 3 days per week in either London or Cambridge.
  • They may flex to fewer days for an exceptional candidate, but hybrid working is an important part of the role.
Salary & Process
  • Salary benchmark: Up to £100k
  • Interview process:
  • Initial remote interview (culture/fit).
  • In-person technical test.
  • If you're interested, please send your most updated CV to

    Rates depend on experience and client requirements
