Location of office- Farringdon, London

The company: Our client is an exciting AI startup company that is looking to revolutionize the way software is developed for businesses without a software engineering department.

Up until now many utility, logistic and civil engineering companies use large IT consultancies to develop software tools to support their custom processes. This can be very expensive and time consuming.

Our clients ‘autonomous AI software factory’ allows these non-technical companies to develop the same software tools considerably quicker and cheaper and without the need for an IT consultancy.

The above might sound ambitious, but the founders of the company have a seriously impressive track record. The last AI business they created was acquired by one of the largest globally recognized companies in the world.

Having recently raised $5 million in funding, they now wish to grow the team which will be UK based. At the present the company is 15 people, with the large majority being the engineering team.

This is your chance to join a company at the early stages, where you can expect to part of another huge success story.

The role: The business currently has no infrastructure team. At present one of the Co-Founders and a couple of the Software Engineers have temporally covered things.

Now is the time for an ambitious Infrastructure Engineer to own the infrastructure and really set the infrastructure culture for the company. As the company looks to scale there is opportunity to lead the infrastructure team if you wish.

Infrastructure for this role means pure infrastructure combined with some DevOps.

To be suitable for this role you should have a background in software engineering. Someone who can configure things but has also written some code in Go, Python, Ruby or something similar would be ideal.

Experience working in a start-up company, scale up or a big tech company (ideally a combination) would be advantageous.

Technical skills required: You should have experience using a Modern infrastructure stack. The business is using Azure, Terraform, Flux, Kubernetes, Postgres and Go.

Experience with as many of the technologies above, or that are similar is desired i.e. Azure is desirable, but if you have used AWS or GCP this is fine.

They key is that you have a breadth of experience in cloud infrastructure and after confident getting things done quickly.
