Hybrid Working – 3 Days Per Week Onsite

An established and rapidly growing AI software company is expanding its Platform Engineering team and seeking experienced Infrastructure or DevOps Engineers to help shape and evolve a production-grade Kubernetes environment.

This opportunity is suited to engineers who enjoy building and improving systems from the ground up rather than simply maintaining existing enterprise platforms.

The business has successfully migrated to Kubernetes on AWS EKS and is now focused on scaling, refining and strengthening its cloud infrastructure. They are looking for mid-level and senior engineers who can bring hands-on depth, strong architectural understanding and experience operating in fast-paced product environments.

The Role

* Design, build and evolve AWS cloud infrastructure

* Work extensively with Kubernetes and AWS EKS

* Develop and maintain Infrastructure as Code using Terraform

* Contribute to CI/CD and GitOps workflows

* Improve multi-tenant platform architecture

* Enhance scalability, reliability and automation

* Solve complex production challenges in a SaaS environment

What We Are Looking For

* Strong hands-on Kubernetes experience

* AWS production experience, ideally EKS

* Solid Infrastructure as Code expertise, Terraform preferred

* Experience building or significantly evolving cloud platforms

* Comfortable working in dynamic, high-growth or product-led environments

* Engineers who understand infrastructure at a systems level, not just through pre-built pipelines

This position is open to both strong mid-level engineers and senior engineers. Senior candidates will have the opportunity to influence platform direction and mentor others. Mid-level candidates should demonstrate genuine ownership and depth of hands-on experience.

Location

The role can be based in either London or Cambridge.
The team operates a hybrid model with three days per week onsite.
