Senior AI Infrastructure Engineer – GPU Cloud Platform

London (Hybrid, 2 days in office) | £90,000 – £120,000 | Permanent

The company

A VC-backed AI cloud provider that gives AI companies and research teams access to large-scale GPU compute. They’ve raised Series A funding, have around 60 people, and are scaling their platform across multiple data centres in the UK and Europe. Customers range from early-stage AI startups to enterprise ML teams running large training and inference workloads.

The role

You’ll join a small, senior infrastructure team that owns the platform customers run their workloads on. This is a hands-on role with real ownership. You’ll help shape how the platform scales as GPU capacity grows over the next 12–18 months.

What you’ll be doing

• Building and operating Kubernetes clusters for GPU workloads across bare-metal and cloud environments
• Managing GPU scheduling, multi-tenancy and resource isolation using tools such as the NVIDIA GPU Operator
• Automating provisioning and configuration with Terraform, Ansible and GitOps (ArgoCD/Flux)
• Improving observability and reliability with Prometheus, Grafana and alerting on high-value compute
• Working on networking and storage performance for distributed training (InfiniBand/RoCE, high-throughput storage)
• Supporting customers and internal ML engineers to get workloads running efficiently
• Taking part in a fair, well-supported on-call rota

What they’re looking for

• 5+ years in platform, infrastructure or SRE roles
• Deep production Kubernetes experience, ideally including operators or custom controllers
• Strong Terraform / infrastructure as code skills
• Solid Linux and networking fundamentals
• Go or Python for tooling and automation
• Experience with AWS, GCP, Azure or on-prem environments

Nice to have

• GPU infrastructure experience (NVIDIA, CUDA drivers, DCGM)
• Slurm or HPC backgrounds
• Bare-metal or data-centre experience
• Exposure to Ray, Kubeflow or distributed training workloads

Please note: Applicants must have the right to work in the UK. Visa sponsorship is not available for this role.
