DevOps Engineer (AI Deployment)

DevOps Engineer (AI Deployment) | AI Tech Scale-Up | £60,000–£85,000 DOE + Shares | London / Hybrid

We're partnered with an innovative AI scale-up that is growing quickly and looking to hire a hands-on DevOps Engineer focused on AI deployment to help deliver cutting-edge agent-based solutions into complex client environments.

The Company

This fast-growing business sits at the forefront of applied AI, working with major organisations to build and deploy intelligent systems that solve real operational challenges.

With a strong product roadmap and a collaborative culture, they offer the chance to work on high-impact projects in a fast-paced, forward-thinking engineering team

The Role

This is a DevOps-centric, client-facing engineering role focused on getting AI systems—particularly agent-based solutions—successfully deployed into customer environments.

You'll work across cloud, hybrid and on-premise setups, navigating real-world constraints (networking, security, Kubernetes clusters, containerised workloads, etc.) and collaborating directly with clients to get solutions up and running.

You'll work closely with senior engineering leadership to support deployments, contribute to agent-driven product builds, and ensure smooth delivery across varied technical landscapes.

The Candidate

Key attributes of the suitable DevOps Engineer (AI Deployment) include:

• Deployment & Delivery Experience – Hands-on experience deploying software or platforms into client environments (on-premise, hybrid or cloud).
• DevOps Foundations – Solid experience with Docker and Kubernetes (both essential), plus comfort working across different cloud providers and networking constraints.
• Interest in AI & Agents – Not a pure ML role—just curiosity or side projects involving AI agents, LLM tools, or automation frameworks.
• Client-Facing Mindset – Confidence working directly with customers, understanding their environments, and guiding them through deployment and solution delivery.
• Growth Mentality – 2+ years' experience in DevOps, infrastructure, platform engineering or forward-deployed engineering roles.
