Nice to Have * Experience managing physical data centres, co-location facilities, or hybrid infrastructure environments. * Working knowledge of ML orchestration frameworks (e.g., Ray, Slurm, Kubeflow). * Background in media pipelines, VFX tooling, or media compliance standards (MPA, ISO 27001). * Prior experience working in a hybrid startup/scale-up environment. ## Description We are looking for a Lead Infrastructure / DevOps Engineer to lead our core AI Platform & Infrastructure team. Reporting directly to the VP of Engineering, you will guide a team of 7 engineers responsible for powering our high-performance GPU infrastructure, multi-cloud setup (with GCP as our primary provider), ML model training pipelines, and containerised orchestration environments. This role balances technical leadership, team management, cloud resource optimisation, and high-level architectural oversight. You will ensure our research and engineering teams have the fast, scalable, and reliable compute environments necessary to train and deploy state-of-the-art AI models., 1. People, Team & Process Leadership (50%) * Team Management: Lead, mentor, and grow a team of 7 DevOps and Infrastructure engineers through regular 1:1s, performance reviews, and career pathing. * Sprint & Operational Delivery: Drive agile delivery, sprint planning, and backlog prioritisation to align infrastructure deliverables with AI research and product roadmaps. * Engineering Standards: Establish best practices for Reliability Engineering, Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC), continuous integration, and incident post-mortems. * Cross-Functional Alignment: Act as the primary technical bridge between infrastructure, ML researchers, AI application developers, and the VP of Engineering. 2. Resource Management & FinOps (25%) * GPU & Multi-Cloud Management: Manage high-density GPU clusters across a multi-cloud ecosystem (primarily GCP) optimised for large custom AI model training and real-time inference workflows. * FinOps & Cost Control: Oversee infrastructure consumption, track cloud/hardware costs, negotiate vendor terms, and optimise GPU utilisation to maintain cost efficiency. * High-Performance Storage: Oversee high-throughput storage and caching solutions engineered for ultra-fast data retrieval and low-latency access. 3. Architecture, Engineering & Compliance (25%) * Technical Escalation & Hands-On Oversight: Serve as the senior technical escalation point for complex infrastructure incidents and architecture decisions. * Automation & IaC: Standardise platform deployments using Infrastructure as Code (e.g., Terraform/OpenTofu) and modern container orchestration (Kubernetes). * Security & Compliance Collaboration: Partner with security stakeholders to ensure our AI training environments meet industry security standards (e.g., MPA Best Practices, ISO 27001, SOC 2). ## Related Videos - [Running Secure Life Science Research at Scale using Hybrid GPU HPC and Kubernetes 🧬](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100355-running-secure-life-science-research-at-scale-using-hybrid-gpu-hpc-and-kubernetes) - [Shipping Faster with Less: Render on Cloud Hosting, AI Workloads, and the Future of DevOps](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1894-shipping-faster-with-less-render-on-cloud-hosting-ai-workloads-and-the-future-of-devops) - [From DevOps to Scaled DevOps: How We’re Rebuilding Continuous Delivery as a Platform](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100018-from-devops-to-scaled-devops-how-we-re-rebuilding-continuous-delivery-as-a-platform) - [Docker Compose: Rediscovered](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1978-docker-compose-rediscovered) - [We adopted DevOps and are Cloud-native, Now What?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/485-we-adopted-devops-and-are-cloud-native-now-what) - [DevOps Maturity Check – a way to balance autonomy and alignment](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/58-devops-maturity-check-a-way-to-balance-autonomy-and-alignment) ## Related Articles - [How We Built a Worry-Free System That Runs for 10+ Years – And What We’d Do Again](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/751-how-we-built-a-worry-free-system-that-runs-for-10-years-and-what-we-d-do-again) - [7 Cloud Computing Trends Coming in 2025 for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/412-7-cloud-computing-trends-coming-in-2025-for-developers) - [Best US AI Conferences for CTOs in 2026: Build vs. Buy, Vendor Evaluation, and Peer Intelligence](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/736-best-us-ai-conferences-for-ctos-in-2026-build-vs-buy-vendor-evaluation-and-peer-intelligence) - [Highest Paying Tech Companies for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/220-highest-paying-tech-companies-for-developers) - [Dev Digest 120 - Apple and peers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/455-dev-digest-120-apple-and-peers) - [DevOps Engineer Salary [2023]](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/203-devops-engineer-salary-2023)
