## Description

About the Company

Imagine the industries that have kept society running for decades, energy, logistics, manufacturing, suddenly supercharged by AI. Scary, efficient, right? That's exactly what this AI startup is doing and they've already made impressive headway.

They're helping these critical systems move faster, smarter, and more reliably than ever. By replacing clunky, decades old software with custom AI powered tools, they're solving problems traditional systems can't even touch. In short, they're turning industrial scale headaches into smooth, automated solutions that actually work.

The founders? Let's just say they've been there and done it. The same team that built and sold an autonomous vehicle tech company for over $100 million is now applying that expertise to the industries that literally keep the world running. In just two years, they've raised over £10 million, hit seven figure ARR, and built a loyal, growing client base.

No hype, no fluff - just a team tackling real world problems with smart tech and real impact.

Role Overview

If you're a Software Engineer at heart but also have an "infra brain," this could be your playground. You'll love writing Go or Python, while also thinking about the bigger picture, building and maintaining cloud infrastructure (Azure ideally), building K8s clusters, writing Terraform for IaC, and handling all the other modern platform tools.

You'll be joining a Platform team of two ex high growth engineers who genuinely care about clean code, open source, and making developer experience better. Most importantly, there are no egos, no red tape, just good engineers building good things.

Key Responsibilities

 * Write Go or Python code.
 * Build and maintain cloud infrastructure (Azure).
 * Create and manage Kubernetes clusters.
 * Write Terraform for IaC.
 * Handle modern platform tools and observability.
 * Participate in high-impact projects.

What We Value

 * Highly technical background.
 * Client facing experience.
 * Passion about observability.
 * Ownership and autonomy.

What's In It For You

You'll have high autonomy, a flexible hybrid setup (2 in-office days every couple of weeks, travel covered), and the chance to shape a platform scaling fast from ambitious startup to industry game changer. Equity is part of the conversation as well.

How to Apply

Join a company quietly redefining how industries operate, with AI doing the heavy lifting. If you're highly technical, client facing, and passionate about observability, this is the role for you.
