Senior AI DevOps Engineer

We’re looking for a Senior AI-Enabled DevOps Engineer to join a growing engineering capability working on complex, important software systems that increasingly embed AI to improve delivery, decision-making, and operational effectiveness.

This is a hands-on senior engineering role for someone who enjoys operating across software development, DevOps, and modern cloud platforms. You won’t be a people manager, but you will be a trusted senior engineer, shaping technical approaches, raising engineering standards, and helping teams deliver reliable systems in production. What you’ll be doing

At the core of this role is building well-engineered, production-grade systems that integrate cleanly with AI platforms and services.

You will:

• Design, build, deploy, and operate AI-enabled software and platform solutions
• Develop API-driven services and integrations that allow systems to interact effectively with AI capabilities
• Modernise existing applications towards service-based, cloud-native architectures
• Implement and operate integration mechanisms between software systems and AI platforms, including emerging patterns and protocols where appropriate
• Use AI tools to improve engineering productivity - while maintaining full accountability for quality, safety, and correctness
• Review, validate, and guide AI-generated code and outputs, ensuring they meet real engineering and operational standards
• Build services in TypeScript and Python, supported by strong testing and clean code practices
• Package, deploy, and operate workloads using Kubernetes (eg Helm) and Infrastructure as Code (eg Terraform)
• Work closely with other engineers, platform teams, and AI specialists to deliver integrated, end-to-end solutions
• Take responsibility for systems running in production, not just code that passes a build

This role suits an experienced senior engineer who brings breadth, pragmatism, and strong engineering judgement., * Proven experience as a Senior Software Engineer, Senior DevOps Engineer, or similar hands-on role

• Excellent software engineering fundamentals: system design, maintainable code, testing, and operability
• Strong experience building API-first or service-based systems
• Proficiency in TypeScript and Python
• Hands-on experience deploying and operating production systems using containers and automation
• Confidence working across development, deployment, and operational concerns
• A track record of owning technical outcomes in complex environments

Desirable experience:

• Integrating software systems with AI platforms or AI-assisted workflows
• Exposure to emerging AI integration approaches or protocols (eg MCP)
• Platform engineering or DevOps at scale
