## Description

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
