Senior Cloud-Native Platform Engineer for AI Cloud

Devopsroles; United Kingdom; Remote; GBP 90.000 - 120.000; Vollzeit

Zusammenfassung

Nscale is hiring for a Platform Engineer to drive production Kubernetes platform operations, automation, and reliability. You will own critical platform components, improve observability, and implement scalable, reproducible workflows across internal teams for AI workloads.

The role emphasizes hands-on engineering, collaboration with SRE and software teams, and contributing to robust CI/CD and GitOps practices within a fast-moving AI cloud environment.

Qualifikationen

• Proven experience operating Kubernetes-based platforms in production.
• Experience with infrastructure automation, CI/CD, configuration management, or GitOps.
• Strong reliability engineering and observability knowledge.
• Production-grade automation or backend scripting in Go, Python, or Bash.

Aufgaben

• Build and improve shared cloud-native platform capabilities used by internal engineering teams to run AI applications and services.
• Own significant parts of the platform area, including Kubernetes cluster operations, workload runtime configuration, deployment workflows, observability foundations, or environment automation.
• Improve the reliability, scalability, and supportability of platform services through practical engineering and operational enhancements.
• Develop automation, tooling, and configuration that reduce manual effort, improve consistency, and make the platform easier to use and operate.
• Apply software engineering where it creates leverage, including scripts, services, CI/CD automation, operational tooling, and platform integrations.
• Improve incident prevention, detection, response, and recovery across the platform areas you support.
• Build and refine observability for platform services, including metrics, logs, tracing, dashboards, alerts, and other useful operational signals.
• Strengthen rollout safety, capacity awareness, failure handling, and recovery procedures for production environments.
• Debug and resolve complex issues spanning Kubernetes, Linux, networking, storage, workload runtime behaviour, and cloud or datacentre infrastructure dependencies.
• Enhance operational playbooks, runbooks, and engineering practices to reduce toil and increase service resilience.
• Contribute to design discussions, code reviews, and operational standards within the platform engineering team.
• Collaborate with software engineering, infrastructure, and SRE teams to deliver platform capabilities that are practical, supportable, and aligned to operational needs.
• Define sensible defaults, paved roads, and supportable patterns for service deployment and runtime operations.
• Mentor less experienced engineers in platform engineering fundamentals, operational judgement, and good automation practices.
