I'm currently working with a fast-growing AI-driven technology company that is scaling its infrastructure team. They're looking to hire an experienced DevOps / Cloud Infrastructure Engineer to join a six-person team and help build out their Kubernetes and cloud environment.
The RoleThis role is very much hands-on and focused on building rather than just maintaining infrastructure. You'll be:

- Collaborative and adaptable in a fast-paced environment where priorities shift quickly.
- Ability to solve technical challenges and mentor others through example.
The environment is fast-moving, with priorities that change quickly in line with business needs. It's collaborative, technical, and high-output - you'll be working with some of the best engineers in the business, in a team where everyone's input is valued.
