About the Role

We're looking for a Cloud / DevOps Engineer to own and evolve the cloud infrastructure powering a growing AI platform. Working closely with software and ML engineers, you'll have real architectural influence and end-to-end responsibility for a modern Azure-based stack.

What You'll Do

•

Design and operate secure, scalable, highly available Azure infrastructure spanning compute, networking, storage, identity, and platform services.

•

Build and maintain infrastructure as code using Terraform or Bicep, ensuring consistent and repeatable deployments.

•

Deploy and manage Docker and Kubernetes/AKS environments, including scaling, networking, upgrades, security hardening, and production troubleshooting.

•

Design and improve CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps, or equivalent platforms for reliable software delivery.

•

Establish cloud security, observability, and reliability practices covering IAM, secrets management, monitoring, logging, alerting, backup, and disaster recovery.

•

Partner with engineering and ML teams to support AI/ML workloads and optimise cloud performance and cost.

•

Own infrastructure initiatives end-to-end and contribute to architecture decisions and incident response.

What We're Looking For

•

4+ years of hands-on experience in Cloud Engineering, DevOps, Platform Engineering, or SRE.

•

Strong production experience with Microsoft Azure across architecture, deployment, networking, identity, and security.

•

Solid Infrastructure as Code experience with Terraform or Bicep in production environments.

•

Production experience deploying and operating Docker and Kubernetes/AKS clusters.

•

Demonstrated end-to-end ownership of cloud infrastructure, including architecture decisions — not just an operations or contributor role.

•

Background at a large-scale technology or enterprise organisation, with comfort translating that experience into a fast-paced, early-stage environment.

•

Strong grasp of cloud security (IAM, secrets management), observability, reliability, and automation.

•

Solid Linux administration and scripting skills (Bash, Python, or equivalent).

•

Experience with GitOps, Helm, Argo CD, Prometheus, Grafana, or OpenTelemetry is a plus.

•

Familiarity with AI/ML or GPU-based workloads, or multi-cloud environments (AWS/GCP alongside Azure), is a bonus.

Compensation & Benefits

•

Base salary: €75,000 – €95,000 annually.

•

Visa sponsorship is not available for this role.
