Job description

Looking to build the next generation of AI infrastructure that powers real-world engineering breakthroughs?

Join a near-unicorn AI research lab backed by leading investors, where the product team delivers a high-availability AI Factory to global aerospace, automotive, and energy clients. The role involves building a state-of-the-art internal developer platform orchestrating H100 GPU clusters and sovereign cloud networking, solving extreme multi-tenancy and security challenges, and supporting pioneering AI systems that explore and optimize the physical world. Work in a cutting-edge environment with exposure to highly complex infrastructure and next-generation AI applications.

Ready to design AI infrastructure that transforms engineering and industrial innovation? Apply now!

Responsibilities

• Internal Developer Platform (IDP): Architect APIs and CLI tools that allow product developers to provision full "Engineering Application" environments (DBs, GPU endpoints, Auth) in minutes.
• Multi‑Tenancy & Kubernetes: Design secure K8s architectures across hybrid environments (AWS/Azure/Sovereign Cloud) to ensure absolute data isolation between global industrial customers.
• GPU Orchestration: Manage autoscaling and high‑performance scheduling for NVIDIA H100/L40 clusters to handle "bursty" physics inference demands.
• Hybrid‑Cloud Networking: Manage data gravity and secure connectivity between public clouds and sovereign "Industrial AI" clouds for sensitive physics data.
• Observability & Health: Implement OpenTelemetry and Grafana to monitor physics‑specific metrics, such as inference latency for massive 3D meshes.
• Secure Supply Chain: Build CI/CD pipelines with automated threat modeling and container scanning for mission‑critical industrial applications.

Skills / Must have

• Orchestration: Expert‑level Kubernetes (AKS/EKS) is non‑negotiable.
• Tooling: Deep experience with Terraform, Flux CD/ArgoCD, and Go.
• Cloud Architecture: Experience with "Neoclouds" or specialized AI infrastructure providers.
• Background: Ideally from a high‑growth AI research lab (DeepMind, OpenAI) or a rival engineering‑heavy tech firm.

Benefits

• High‑Upside Equity: Competitive stock option packages in a company with a $1B+ valuation trajectory.
• Flexible "London‑Plus" Setup: Remote‑first across Europe/UK, with roughly 1 week per month in London for whiteboarding (travel and hotels fully covered).
• Work‑Life Balance: Outcome‑focused culture with standard 40‑hour weeks; no "crunch culture," despite the high‑growth environment.
• Visa Sponsorship: Fully supported for world‑class candidates.

Salary

• Super Competitive (Base + Bonus + Equity)
• Designed to beat standard market rates for top‑tier talent.
