🏗️ About the role

We are looking for super-talented infrastructure/DevOps engineers to help us build and secure the backbone of our products extremely fast. You’ll be joining the most lean, talent-dense, and fast-moving engineering team in London.

You’ll be responsible for:

• Designing and deploying cloud infrastructure. Own our AWS estate with Terraform, ensuring scalability, reliability, and cost-efficiency.
• Building and maintaining our data layer. Operate multi-tenant PostgreSQL clusters, craft zero-downtime migrations, and write Python services that power our AI workflows.
• Creating and improving CI/CD pipelines. Enable the team to ship safely and quickly using GitHub Actions, Docker, and modern deployment strategies.
• Building first-class observability – Wire up metrics, traces, and logs (OpenTelemetry, Datadog / Grafana) so we spot issues before users do.
• Optimising for performance. Profile and tune infrastructure, database queries, and application code to minimise latency and maximise throughput for our AI workloads.
• Championing security – Lead threat modelling, incident response drills, and vulnerability management; harden auth, networking, and secrets.
• Building across the stack. Roll up your sleeves when needed to get features shipped end-to-end.
• Assembling a world-class engineering team. Partner with our founders to build, scale, and set the culture of our engineering team.
