Job description

Not every job lets you build something truly from scratch, but this one does.

This London-based AI accelerator is looking for its first-ever DevOps engineer. That means no outdated systems to untangle, no rigid processes to follow—just a blank canvas and the chance to shape the entire DevOps function from day one.

Your mission? Establish and scale the infrastructure that powers cutting-edge AI innovation. You’ll take charge of both cloud and on-prem environments, implement automation, security frameworks, and device management, and collaborate with top-tier hardware and software engineers to push boundaries. It’s a role for someone who thrives on autonomy, problem-solving, and making high-impact decisions.

If Kubernetes, Terraform, security hardening, and automation are your bread and butter—and you’re ready to be the go-to DevOps expert in a fast-growing company—this is your moment.

No bureaucracy, no micromanagement, just the chance to build, innovate, and lead.
