DevOps Engineer
Role Summary
We are looking for a DevOps engineer to build and operate cloud-native foundations and to partner closely with AI and application engineers. This is a hands-on role spanning DevOps fundamentals — Kubernetes, CI/CD, GitOps, and infrastructure-as-code — and AI/ML infrastructure such as GPU-backed model serving and the data services that AI applications depend on.

You will help stand up pragmatic, right-sized platform foundations and act as the infrastructure partner to application engineers — deploying and scaling their services reliably, keeping the developer loop quick, and building security and observability in from the start. We are looking for a candidate with a strong academic record and solid computer-science fundamentals (data structures, algorithms, and problem-solving) alongside hands-on platform experience.

Key Responsibilities
DevOps Foundations
- Bootstrap and operate Kubernetes (AKS) plus the surrounding cloud-native foundations: container registry, secrets management, identity, and monitoring.




- Own the build-and-deploy path end to end — containerisation (Docker/BuildKit), image registry, CI/CD (GitHub Actions or Azure Pipelines), and GitOps (Argo CD or Flux).
- Codify infrastructure with Terraform and/or Bicep and Helm so environments are reproducible and reviewable.

AI Infrastructure & Data Plane
- Package and deploy application and AI/agent services, including the runtime, secrets, and configuration they require.
- Provision and operate the data plane: managed PostgreSQL, Redis, a vector store, a graph store, object storage, and a queue / event bus.
- Stand up self-hosted inference — e.g. vLLM on a GPU node pool — alongside hosted-model connectors; use KEDA/HPA to scale stateless pods (down to zero) and bin-pack GPU efficiently.

Isolation, Security & Reliability
- Implement tenant/workload isolation: namespaces, deny-by-default NetworkPolicy, ResourceQuota/LimitRange, and scoped secrets.
- Manage secrets and identity w
