Staff/Senior DevOps Engineer

Runware’s infrastructure is the engine behind some of the fastest-growing AI products in the world. As a Staff/Senior DevOps Engineer, you’ll help design, build, and operate the systems that power real-time AI inference across large-scale GPU fleets and a global production platform.

This is not a traditional DevOps role. You’ll be working at the intersection of bare-metal infrastructure, GPUs, networking, automation, observability, and high-performance distributed systems. Your work will directly shape how quickly we can launch new models, scale customer traffic, recover from failures, and deliver low-latency AI experiences to millions of users.

You’ll turn complex, hardware-driven infrastructure into reliable, automated, developer-friendly platforms. From provisioning and orchestration to deployment pipelines, monitoring, incident response, and capacity scaling, you’ll help remove friction so engineering teams can move faster without compromising reliability.

You’ll build the foundations that let Runware scale with confidence: infrastructure that is fast, resilient, observable, secure, and built for the demands of real-time AI.

What you’ll do

• Build and scale the infrastructure that powers real-time AI inference across GPU fleets, bare-metal servers, serverless and containerised production systems
• Help evolve Runware’s platform toward more elastic, on-demand infrastructure that can scale quickly with customer traffic and model demand
• Make Runware faster, more reliable and more resilient by improving the critical paths behind our request entrypoints, inference services, queues, storage, load balancers and networking layer
• Automate the hard parts of infrastructure operations, from provisioning and configuration through to CI/CD, deployment safety, progressive rollouts and rapid rollback
• Build the observability backbone for a high-performance AI platform, with the signals needed to spot issues early, understand capacity and fix problems before customers feel them
• Play a leading role in production operations, incident response, debugging and post-incident improvements, helping us turn operational challenges into a stronger platform
• Strengthen the security and compliance foundations of our infrastructure through patching, secrets management, access controls, hardening, auditability, documentation and repeatable operational processes

• Strong experience as a DevOps Engineer, SRE, Infrastructure Engineer, Platform Engineer or similar, with a track record of running production systems at scale
• Deep Linux knowledge and confidence debugging real production issues across networking, storage, performance, services and system behaviour
• Hands-on experience building automation, Infrastructure-as-Code, CI/CD pipelines and deployment workflows that make infrastructure safer and easier to operate
• Experience operating high-availability, low-latency or high-throughput platforms where reliability and performance directly affect customers
• Strong networking fundamentals across TCP/IP, DNS, load balancing, routing, firewalls, proxies, TLS and HTTP
• A calm and pragmatic approach under pressure, with strong communication, good judgement and a bias toward automation over manual toil, * Experience operating GPU infrastructure for AI/ML inference, including NVIDIA drivers, CUDA, container runtimes, GPU monitoring, capacity planning and workload isolation
• Familiarity with inference serving and optimisation frameworks such as vLLM, TensorRT, Triton or similar

Our release cycles are fast and intense, but they’re followed by real downtime. After big pushes we expect the team to unplug, recharge, and come back ready & stronger than ever for the next leap.
